Astravan sportive for sale
For sale is my 2000 year Vauxhall astravan sportive 2.0 di 16v in silver.
I have owned this van for over a year now and has been my workhorse for work. The sportive model comes standard with stiffer springs and shocks, air conditioning, alarm and central locking, electric windows and sports seats. There is also a kenwood cd player fitted.
I am only selling purely because I have bought a golf tdi five door so I can carry my little boy around and being a machine driver I don’t really don’t need the use of a van anymore, also I have never carried any heavy loads in the back
One of the main weak parts of these vans is the high pressure fuel pump which on mine did fail, so I had had a complete unit refurb at a cost of £650.
Mileage is 151,600 with full service history, last serviced at 143500, but a new cylinder head was fitted at 147,000, also the new fuel pump was fitted at 145,000
I have spent over £2500 in parts and labour on the van in the time I have owned it, the work being:
New fuel injection pump,
Injector seals, done twice,
New fuel return lines,(spill pipes)
New cyclinder head and head gasket,
New fuel filter housing assembley,
New starter motor and battery,
One way valve fitted to fuel feed line,
Oil and filter changed twice,
Recently had the mot done and had two new front shocks and front disks and pads, these have only done around 3000 miles
All four tyres have plenty of tread remaining
Paintwork is very good with colour coded front bumper side skirts and mirrors, no dents anywhere and hardly any scratches at all. There is no rust anywhere and really does come up well with a clean. The interior is also in great condition with the sports seats having lumbar support with no rips tears or stains
There are a few bad points such as slight mark on the front bonnet and also the paint has cracked a tiny bit on the front bumper, one of the fog light is cracked and there is a small dent on the rear passenger corner bumper but this would push out easily as it’s a plastic bumper. The interior is very good with the seats having no rips or tears, stains etc, the rear is plylined and carpeted out.
This has been a great van to me and it’s never laboured until the oil is warmed up, also this van does not have an oil consumption problem like some of these seem to suffer with.
The engine pulls very well and keeps up with a friends estate which is the dti version.
The 2.0 engine is chain driven so no cambelt worries.
When I bought the van in jan 2009 I was told that it had a new turbo but I have no proof of this.
Sitting at 70mph on the motorway I worked out I was getting 56mpg.
Vauxhall mudflaps all round
Genuine Vauxhall roof bars will be included with the sale
9 Months MOT and taxed until may.
I have both keys for the van and the folder containing service book and receipts for all work undertaken
Looking for £1850 o.n.o
Please contact matt on 07866474147 for anymore details
