T2, T3 now T5

[vanjun]

Hi to everyone. I just bought a T5 and found this great forum. I own a 74 poptop Kombi which is resting in the shed waiting for a rebuild. I recently sold a T3 that served me well for a few years. i have been looking for a few months for a second hand van to replace the old T3 and have found that there is not much available in the Newcastle area. In moments of frustration I considered vitos and ford transits but finally located a silver 2004 T5 with full windows and camper bed fitout. It's a bit older than I wanted and at 170k km has more km than I would have liked but it seems to be in good nik and as I said there was not much to chose from.
So far I have updated the head unit to a double din JVC 7inch screen unit and reverse camera which was a pain to fit but works pretty good.

Good buy mate! Also don't worry about the kms, this is just run it period for these engines, I've seen them outlast 500+km with general routine maintenance. They are monsters. Goodluck
