Looking for a fridge van, which is proving a difficult find in itself.
Potential van in Scunthorpe area which is hell of a long way to go and look if it turns out to be no good.
Not sure on feasibility of this but any recommendations for an independent mechanic in the area to pay to check it out?

Alternatively anyone want to comment (pm maybe best) on N&E motor services who are selling it?

TIA

Be aware that some fridge van conversions rely on removal of the air conditioning so next summer prepare to boil the driver .....

Some where which deals with mainly fridge vans may have a better choice such as https://www.coolvan.co.uk/

or

Very few and far between with current difficulties getting new vehicles.
Have spoken to coolvan and vantastec (who my neighbour uses) and had quotes for new. Not really wanting to spend that much though. The bigger dealers don't seem to be doing much with s/h.
Have been scouring web for weeks. Anything sensible money and miles is gone quick. Tried for 1 last week - he sold it before he got it!
