I like our Voyager and it ain't French.

Wouldn't worry too much about torching it they normally do it themselves once they reach a certain age.

Voyager was the only realistic other option (size wise the kia fitted but its a kia, and v v v slow), but i wanted seperate seats (2+2+2) and the voyagers in my price range all had a middle bench seat

Mmmmmmm................ ours has 2+2+3 but is quite old.

Sounds like you need a Ford Excursion to keep the neighbour onside.
Heard the v10 triton comes recommended.

Get yerself and Mrs BD along to a good hypnotist

Swop the espace for an old transit diesel crewbus, then get the hypnotist to convince you both that it is suave, sophisticated, and powerfull.

Errrrr.......and quiet and very stylish to boot

2nd gen Toyota Previa.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 16, 2010, 09:55:29 PM »

Chevrolet Surbaban (Holden) has 8 seats (& a 5.7 V8)

Previa is too small again, we got another few years of tryin to fit a pram in every time we go out

I like FJ's approach...

If ya wants the most bang for yer buck, look at what the Pikeys are driving.

If it's a van it will be a Transit.

If it's a car it'll be a Merc

And if it's a 4x4 it'll be a Shogun

Whatever else you think of 'em, they aint daft

Bubba · « **Reply #36 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:05:48 PM »

true you never see them in landys

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #37 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:07:33 PM »

Mrs BD likes high drivin position (my fault for gettin her the orvis zj), so an estate is out

I like sound proofin, so the transit is out

And the shogun is a pikey wagon

I just need to nurse the espace for a few more years, by then my lifted old Chief with newly fitted widetrack dana 44's & 35" muds will be coming home and I can sling in the extra bench seat and we have our 8 seater which Mrs BD likes

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #38 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:19:55 PM »

So in reality it will be a transit then..

Well,you're right,someone has to provide an economic stimulus.

Hi there,I'm new here yet I would like to help.I had a problem like that on an old Y plate fockall cavalier,and it was the front wheel bearings..the rumble was at 70mph and went away at 80mph ..later it knocked like a bugger on full right lock.also the link had snapped between the lower wishbone and rollbar .That wasnt apparent until i jacked up the front wheel.I dont know if the Ren oh!! has that sort of weakspot .Oh and last year I had my tdci mondeo chewed a rear bearing with very little warning on the way back from south of France(repaired in Essex

)..see french cars belong in france only

. Good luck to the repair ,sale,or burning.
