THE HIGHEST MILAGE VEHICLE I'VE EVER BOUGHT!

So we needed a replacement, and this was the suitable one.. but sadly I couldn't afford a good one, so I got the cheapest, highest milage one I could find!
Yes it's a transporter T5! These are by far the coolest looking vans and probable have the most reliable engines.. and they can tow the most out of the 'shorter' vans, so for that reason they are the most expensive vans, so we got a cheap one haha!

Bought myself a dog of a T5 a couple of weeks back with no working electrics so ive basically studied the wiring diagrams for these and have most of them saved if you want any of them! My central locking was intermittment too and this is controlled by the convenience module which lives under the drivers seat. There's a blue/red striped wire giving power to the module and it's a common fault for the joint in this wire to corrode a little way back into the loom, maybe 15-20cm 😀

Regarding airbag light mate i dunno if you're bothered about it or not but if you get it scanned and find which airbag it is thats faulty, a 2ohm resistor (can get them off ebay) is your friend. I swapped my seats in my mk4 golf and the plug was different. A resistor in each plug turned the airbag light off :)

You mean the S13 that I fully built from scratch, the mustang that was ready for the scrapyard which I drifted every other weekend for over a year, the Evo that had literally everything but a full engine build, all the cars that I’ve finished from Copart and sold for profit? When do you class a car that is ‘finished’? This isn’t need for speed I actually wouldn’t mind comments like this if more people watched the long term build videos, but they get the worst views, and then people complain about not ‘finishing builds’ 😂 I hope you’re watching the E30 videos mate if you’re in it for the long run

@Divinitatem They are notorious for the 5th gear bearing going, which allows movement in the shaft and trashes the box casing from the inside. If they're caught early (whining, grinding) they're half the cost to repair. Mine is sat on 243k, i bought with the gearbox failure a few years back. 👍

Lee you Definitely Definitely Should have Brought a Mercedes Vito MK1 W638. Transporters are done to the death. Always break down. The worst two Vans ive owned. 2.5 tdi and 1.9pd engine. Cam wear on 2.5 tdi constant issues. 1.9tdi pd slow as shit, if you remap them and put hybrid turbo you will throw a rod or snap your cam belt. Plus everyone thinks your a corn on the cob. This Van will bankrupt you Lee, get ready to spend thousands 😅🙌👍 Mercedes Om611 engine getrag gearbox will go for a million miles sprinter engines. Il never buy a VW product again.
