3.5 ton Luton on bio?

[Rotary-Motion]

or get some other dude to move it for you while your sat in the sun drinking pinacoloda and pay them in a certain amount of biodiesel that wouldnt even cost the 80 notes maybe?

Just over 80 quid, it hurts but not as much as a new kitchen!

hmm would it fit in my van?

I really appreciate the offer but I don't think it will

This is it:

I suspect it'll be a squeeze in the Luton, which is fairly roomy inside.

[Rotary-Motion]

is it appliances too?

[greasemonkey]

It does look like a bit of a squeeze. I suppose it all goes flat though.
You've got a lot of kitchen there for the money.

[Tony]

Yep it's the whole lot including a Stoves gas hob, Stoves eye level oven, NEFF integrated dishwasher and NEFF integrated fridge.

The oven apparently doesn't work, but they're not that complicated are they?  Probably just needs a new element.  I've been told by my step-mother-in-law (sounds bad that but we get along great) that the Stoves ovens are excellent so it sounds worth repairing rather than replacing.  I don't know anything about which ovens are good, my criteria is "must get hot enough to cook pizza" and anything beyond that is a bonus.

I'm hoping that the carcasses will all fit in the van without further dissassembly.  The van is high enough to stack them.  It'll just be bit of a jigsaw puzzle to get them all in along with the appliances.

[Tony]

Is it really worth the hassle?
A luton must be doing 25 to the gallon, so for a 200 mile round trip, your looking at 8 gallons, a shade over £50 worth of dino.
A filter for a Transit is around a tenner. I wouldn't bother, just make your donation to HMRC, and have a good wash afterwards, to get the dirty feeling off.

I'm inclined to agree given the risk/reward scenario going on there.  Still, 80 for the hire and 50 for the fuel - it all adds up.

[Keef]

There's a really cheap van hire place near you that still uses Mk5 Transit lutons which'll run on anything and I think they were £55 a day.

I'll see if I can find it and report back.

Looking at the ebay sale, I'm starting to think you are going to have a serious game getting all that lot in. No doubt if it was all flat it would go, but that is a lot of work to do that.

Don't you know anyone with a 7.5 tonne stock lorry, or something like that?

If the worst comes to the worst, there probably won't be much left anyway, you'll just have to call back with a trailer or something. At least you should be able to do that on bio with your truck.

Take a cordless drill and some tape.

Taking the units apart would then take seconds, tape the hardware to the units so it doesn't go walkies. Putting it back together might take longer, but then weighing that against another trip to Luton?

good plan be apart in secs, yeah too big for my van, but ithink stack it right your will get it all in!

Tony, factor in new worktops as you may find they wont fit, plus if there are any mitered corners they may not be at the same angle as your kitchin.

If you do need to replace them get them fitted by someone that will miter them properly, those metal joining strips look awful.

[Rossey]

I've just been to have a look and Luton defiantly weighs more than 3.5t and I'm not sure about the bio.
Word on the street says its mostly powered by crack and super t
