<title>Question: Please would you tell me the towing weight for a 2.2t 1.9 Diesel Pilot. Thank you.
</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Towing weight cannot be precisely stated as it depends on the vehicle loading against the Gross Train Weight. The Gross Train Weight of the 2.2t Pilot City van is 3,500 KG and the Gross Vehicle Weight is 2,175KG. Theefore, the maximum weight of a trailer and payload your LDV Pilot van is allowed to tow is 1,325 KG. So if your payload is 800KG, then the maximum towing weight is 525 KG. Hope that helps

<title>Question: Dear LDV Expert

I recently bought a 2005 2.8CDI 95 SWB Maxus which I'm extremely happy with - its a great little runner which has made a huge difference to my business. One minor question , how do I get the internal courtesy lights on in the cab and rear. Switch & light bulbs are OK but there appears to be no power to them although there is a light that comes on in the glove compartment. Am I missing something obvious? Can you give me some pointers to resolve this?
All the best, hopeful Jeff of South Wales  </title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Hi - delighted to hear from another happy MAXUS van owner. Your internal light problem sounds like a simple case of a blown fuse. Pop down to your local LDV dealer who will quickly check the fuse and be able to replace it. Call us on 0800 400 407 to find your local LDV dealer or visit our website www.ldv.com.

<title>Question: The engine management warning light will sometimes not go out after starting the engine on a 1999 Convoy 2.5 FSD turbo minibus.  It also sometimes comes on while driving with a loss of power. It resets after stopping the engine and restarting, sometimes this takes two or three attempts.  What is the likely cause of this - what can be checked before having to take it to a LDV dealer again? I'm inclined to think it could simply be a sensor or electrical connector at fault. It is not the fuel filter water trap.
The LDV dealer carried out diagnostics on it 15 months ago when this was last happening and reported "Engine management fault codes indicate 'Pump cam calibration' fault". I was warned that it would be very expensive to repair, and they advised no further action after clearing all the fault codes. It has has been fine until recently.
</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: 'Pump Cam Calibration' relates to an internal pump problem. It is basically confirming that the pump is worn out and requires replacing.

<title>Question: what is the max towing capacity of ldv 200 with peogeut 1.9 engine</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Towing weight cannot be precisely stated as it depends on the vehicle loading against the Gross Train Weight. Please refer to the LDV Pilot Drivers handbook, and the weights displayed on the chassis plate for the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and the Gross Train Weight (GTW). Extract from the LDV Pilot Handbook: "CAUTION: To calculate the maximum weight of a trailer and payload it is permissible to tow, subtract the gross vehicle weight (GVW) from the gross train weight (GTW) as shown on the vehicles identification plate. The GTW is legally enforcable."

<title>Question: I have recently bought a 3.5/120 XHR. It has done 3600 in the first month!?! I am very pleased with the van (and its British!!!!) but the fuel consumption seems to me to be a bit high. I am lucky to get 300 miles from a tank. Is that OK?? Thank you!!</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Hi - The MAXUS is fitted with a 80 litre fuel tank which equates to 17.58 gallons and we would expect you to achieve somewhere around 30/31 mpg - depending on the style/type of driving being done. Although no commercial vehicle manufacturers quote fuel consumption figures, our MAXUS vans have been independently tested. Commercial Motor conducted an independent test in February 2005 where our LDV MAXUS 3.5t 120PS van returned 31.0 mpg. Please contact your local LDV dealer who can check the van's engine management system.

However, without knowing the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of your particular Convoy we cannot accurately state a figure. Please check your Drivers Handbook for full details or contact your local LDV dealer.

Or am I living in cloud cuckoo land

<description><![CDATA[Answer: The dimensions for the LDV Convoy van vary depending on the model. The interior height of the LWB Hi-Loader roof van is 1.85m whilst the interior height of the SWB Standard Roof Convoy van is 1.46m. The dimensions of the rear load space for the standard SWB Van are: Rear door opening width = 1.59m; Rear door opening height = 1.35m; Interior width = 1.98m; Width between wheel arches = 1.39m; Body cube = 7.6m3 (std roof). The LDV Convoy Van was also available with an optional high roof - the body cube for the optional high roof City Van = 9.7m3. There are no official fuel consumption figurers published for the LDV Convoy but users are reporting about 30 mpg.

<title>Question: If my maxus needs warranty work, do I get a courtesy vehicle?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: LDV comply with the SMMT Code of Practice relating to warranty work which states that once LDV have been notified of a warranty issue by a Dealer, we have 3 days to evaluate the situation.  If at the end of this period we cannot find a solution to the issue, we would consider making a contribution towards the cost of a courtesy vehicle.  This process will be managed on your behalf by your LDV Dealer and all costs require prior authorisation by LDV.  However, many LDV Dealers will automatically provide a replacement vehicle whilst warranty work is carried out but this is at the discretion of the Dealer.

<title>Question: We are thinking of buying a second hand van advertised in NZ they say it is a 3900cc Automatic 8 cylinder 5 door van previously used as an ambulance. Would this be suitable for towing a 4 ft caravan, we are trying to figure out if this is powerful enought motor, any help would be appreciated. Thanks</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The engine advertised with this vehicle is the old Rover V8 and is very popular with kit cars and Land Rover conversions. It's a pretty powerful and strong engine for this type of application, provided it is kept in good condition.  Towing weight cannot be precisely stated as it depends on the vehicle loading against the Gross Train Weight. If you can, please refer to the Driver's handbook and the weights displayed on the chassis plate for the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and the Gross Train Weight (GTW). Extract from the LDV Pilot Handbook: "CAUTION: To calculate the maximum weight of a trailer and payload it is permissible to tow, subtract the gross vehicle weight (GVW) from the gross train weight (GTW) as shown on the vehicles identification plate. The GTW is legally enforceable."

<title>Question: can i fit a towbar to pull a 21ft caravan to my 2003 ldv convoy minibus also what is the max towing weight </title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: This can be a complicated issue as it all comes down to Gross Train Weights (GTW). The GTW is displayed on the vehicle VIN plate (4 boxes, the top is GWV, second is GTW). The Gross Train Weight is the maximum weight of the vehicle plus Load plus Trailer weight. When towing with a fully laden vehicle you should subtract the GVW from the GTW and this will give you a maximum figure for a trailer plus any load. Should you wish to tow with an empty vehicle, the trailer weight may increase, so as long as the trailer weight does not exceed the weight of the vehicle, and the combined weight doesn't exceed the GTW you should be OK.

<title>Question: I have recently brought a 2001 LDV Pilot 2.6t ex Post office crew van that has only came with just one set of keys.  The ignition key is a red one and the door key is black.  I've read what remains of the handbook which states that on Convoy models the red keys is the master key for programing the immobiliser but mentions nothing about the pilot range having these keys or an imobiliser.  After locking my keys in the van the other week Im extremlely eager to get another set cut so could you advise me if I require a special key for the ignition?</title>

<title>Question: I am considering a used LDV convoy 12 seat minibus as my family transport (don't laugh). However I am worried that the engine power (89bhp even for the intercooled model??) may prove insufficent as we also tow a 1.5T caravan - any idea if the van will be cope wiht the towed weight in real terms?? will it manage say 55 mph with the caravan and also how low is the first gear as I don't want to be stuck on hill starts whilst towing - any response greatly appreciated.Any idea on real world MPG??</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: We certainly wouldn't laugh, the Convoy minibus is perfect for family transport!Towing weights are a complicated issue as it all comes down to Gross Train Weights (GTW). The GTW is displayed on the vehicle VIN plate (4 boxes, the top is GWV, second is GTW) or in the vehicle handbook if you can get hold of a copy. The Gross Train Weight is the maximum weight of the vehicle plus Load plus Trailer weight. When towing with a fully laden vehicle you should subtract the GVW from the GTW and this will give you a maximum figure for a trailer plus any load. Should you wish to tow with an empty vehicle, the trailer weight may increase, so as long as the trailer weight does not exceed the weight of the vehicle, and the combined weight doesn't exceed the GTW you should be OK. There are no official fuel consumption figurers published for the LDV Convoy but users are reporting about 30 mpg.  You will find a large selection of Used LDV Convoy minibuses at www.1000vans.com.

<description><![CDATA[Answer: The jack is either clipped to the seat frame on the passenger side or the wheelarch in the passenger footwell. The jack handle and wheel bare are clipped to the floor behind the seats. The spare wheel is either located in the rear load area, secured to the side of the van, or to the underside of the vehicle. In both instances the wheel brace should be used to release the securing bolt.

<title>Question: My brother has recently moved to France, taking his van with him, an LDV convoy, 3.5t, twin rear axle, 5 seater. He needs a certificate of conformity to keep it in France but is having trouble getting parts, particularly lights.Does he actually need new lights for driving on the continent or Left hand drive head lights? He also needs a new rear, RHS light lens. Do you know of any dealers in Brittany, France. The van was purchased from an LDV dealer in Birmingham when 3 years old and he also had factory fitted extra seats (now 5 seater). Do you have a record of this, again this is required for the Cert of conformity? He would be grateful of any help, particluarly in advice of obtaining the Cert of Conformity otherwise he will have to bring the van back to the UK and sell it, which he doesn;t want to do.  many thanks. Anita</title>

<description><![CDATA[Answer: For any queries relating to the Certificate of Conformity, please contact Mike Cooper at LDV UK at mcooper@ldv.com.  The headlamps on a UK spec Convoy cannot be adjusted as the focal direction is dictated by the lens - which is designed for driving on the left hand side of the road. If conversion is required a set of Left Hand drive (export spec) headlamps should be fitted instead. We have several dealers in France, to ascertain your closest dealer we would suggest you contact our LDV France Country Manager: Philippe Brun, pbrun@ldv.com, +33 323 968 910. Philippe will be able to put you in contact with your nearest LDV dealer who can source you your parts and help with any paperwork.

<title>Question: my van will not start its just had a new starter motor put on a month ago and the battery has been checked as well as the new srarter today 
all the lights on the ignition light up and it just clicks will not turn over 
can anyone advise of what else i can look at
</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: This could be contamination in the starter, possibly slutch dust. Also worth checking to see if the engine will turn by hand. If the engine is seized or if the alternator has seized this will stop the engine from turning at all, therefore all you will get is a click from the starter as the soleniod energises.  We would strongly advise you contact your local LDV Dealer to get your vehicle checked over properly.

<title>Question: I recently bought an LDV Convoy 2.5 TD camper (reg. P244 XUB) and am a bit disappointed at its fuel consumption. It gets in the low twenties (over around 2200 miles so it's quite a good check), maximum 25 over a long run including motorways, never reaching the high twenties. I had expected about 30, dipping to around 25 in town. The camping conversion obviously adds weight, but I wouldn't have thought this was very significant for a commercial vehicle of this size.

I have so far 
   - used engine oil flush and changed the engine oil, replaced the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter;
   - added Redex and then Injector Protector to the diesel;
   - set the tyres to 55 psi all round;
   - checked the rear brakes aren't binding;
   - removed and cleaned all the air intake pipes all the way from the entry point to the pipes on the turbo and manifold; all were clean with no obstruction.

Jobs still to do - check the thermostat (temp gauge stays permanently around the one-third mark, even at 70mph on the motorway for hours - I don't know if this is normal); adjust the idle (around 1000-1100 rpm at the moment - to get it down to around 750).

The van starts perfectly, sounds good, and runs well. There is a little white smoke when it is cold, which clears when it is warm. It has plenty of power. The only slightly strange thing is that to get good power on steep hills I have to avoid flooring the accelerator. If the pedal is floored, power drops off badly and I have to go down a gear, losing momentum badly. but if I keep the throttle very light, I get up better and in a higher gear. I don't know if this is normal or an indication of maladjustment.

I wonder if you have any idea a) what the mpg should be for this vehicle and b) any more ideas of how to improve it?

Many thanks!

<description><![CDATA[Answer: This camper van has an old style diesel engine with a large and heavy conversion added to it. Old diesel engines are not as fuel efficient as modern ones and achieving 25mpg on this age of vehicle and with this type of conversion is very good. There is little more you can do to improve the fuel consumption.

<title>Question: I have a Convoy minibus, and also have problems with the steering. The van wants to pull to the left, have had brakes, tyres, and steering box checked. Was suggested changing brake discs and the steering box to see if that cures it but seems costly to me. Do you have any suggestions?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: It is unlikely that a new steering box will have any impact on steering drag. We would suggest checking the wheel balance on all six wheels and also checking hub run-out. If this all appears OK, then check the wheel alignment. Brakes would be the next item to check. Your local LDV dealer will be able to investigate the issue and correctly identify the problem.

<title>Question: Do LDV produce a rear wheel drive SWB van?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The LDV MAXUS range of light commercial vehicles - vans, minibuses, combis and chassis cabs have been designed to be front wheel drive to deliver improved performance vs. a rear wheel drive van. The MAXUS front wheel drive vans, minibuses, combis and chassis cabs deliver 'car like' handling therefore improving the driver experience. The front wheel drive layout also delivers outstanding load volumes in the MAXUS van as there is no driveshaft tunnel or rear differential. The front wheel drive layout also requires fewer components which reduces the weight of the vans and minibuses and improves fuel consumption.

<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>

The 95PS engine develops 250Nm torque at 1800 rpm whilst the 120PS engine develops 300 Nm of torque at 1800 rpm giving better acceleration compared to the 95PS engine. There is another engine option – the 135 PS engine. The 135 PS engine delivers 330Nm of torque. The 135 PS LDV MAXUS 3.5t LWB Extra High Roof Van comes with ABS and EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) as standard.

<title>Question: Hi, we are an air cadet unit based within the M25, looking to buy an LDV convoy mini bus.  New legislation on emissions within the M25 come into effect from Oct 2010 for mini buses. This will require an ECO III engine - I have been told that the Transit Duratorque engine meets this requirement. Can you tell me when you started fitting this engine and does it meet the emission requirements?
thanks, 85 sqdn ATC</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Not all Duratorque engines were Euro III compliant - some were Euro II compliant. Our recommendation is to note the chassis number of the LDV minibus that you are looking to buy and check with your local LDV dealer if the engine fitted is indeed Euro III compliant. A full range of used minibuses is available on the 1000 Vans website www.1000vans.com.

<title>Question: What will be the estimated residual value after 5 years and 7 years on LDV Maxus 3.5T LWB high roof 120 ps purchased for £12500 in June 07?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Obviously, the value of a van will be dependant on the mileage and service history and of course, its condition, but to assume average condition and a mileage of 20,000 per annum, the trade value would be around £2,600 for a 5 year old LDV MAXUS 3.5t LWB High Roof and the forecourt advertised retail price would be approximately £3495. A 7 year old LDV MAXUS 3.5t LWB High Roof with good history and a nice forecourt condition would have a projected trade value of £1,500 and a retail advertised price of £2,495. Please note – these are purely indicative prices and the actual price will be determined by the market which is impacted by supply and demand and of course the condition of the vehicle when you decide to part exchange it in 5 or 7 years time. You should consider the overall cost of ownership (purchase price / insurance / servicing costs / depreciation) when comparing different vans.  Fleet Van (March 2007) recently conducted a review of all van cost of ownership cost and the LDV MAXUS SWB Van had a running cost advantage, over 100,000 miles vs. Ford Transit of £300, vs. Iveco Daily of £1,610 and vs. Mercedes Sprinter of £4,610. The MAXUS LWB Van had a running cost advantage, over 100,000 miles, vs. Ford Transit of £1,130, vs. Iveco Daily of £1,840 and vs. Mercedes Sprinter of £3,430.

<title>Question: Hi, I'am setting up a new taxi-taxzeevan bussiness,and having seen the new MAXUS 6 seater combi it would make an ideal taxivan. So if you can answer these few qusetions for me. Where are the new MAXUS made? Can you use L.P.G conversion? And what sort of fuel economy do you get around town? Is the power unit is it still Ford or Peugot? Are the weight classes the same as the Transit? Thanks
</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The MAXUS 6 seater Combi like all other MAXUS light commercial vehicles are made in our Birmingham factory in the UK and come with a 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty. We do not recommend a LPG conversion but all LDV MAXUS light commercial vehicles are fully tested and approved to use refinery blended Biodiesel to ISO EN590 specification, in concentrations of up to 5%. There are no official fuel consumption figures available but in independent tests by What Van? (April 2007), the LDV MAXUS 3.9t 17 Seat 120 PS Minibus returned 31.0 mpg so a much smaller LDV MAXUS Combi should deliver better fuel consumption than 31.0 mpg. The power unit in the LDV MAXUS engine is made by VM Motori and is a 2.5l turbo diesel engine. The weight classes are the same as the Transit. Please contact your local dealer to organise a test-drive and good luck with your new business.

<title>Question: GIVE ME THE PRICE FOR A WHEELCHAIR LIFT TO FIT A MINIBUS</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: A wheelchair lift is included as a standard feature on the LDV range of Wheelchair Accessible minibuses. 

A wheel chair lift cannot be retro-fitted to a standard minibus because to accommodate a wheelchair some of the seats would have to be capable of being removed and replaced as required. This is not possible with the standard minibus floor and once fitted this floor cannot be removed. 

The LDV Accessible minibuses have a different floor to facilitate the removal and replacement of seats. The wheelchair lift is included as a standard feature of the LDV Accessible minibus.

<title>Question: On 1st July new EU regulations came into force regarding minibuses being used for DSA driver testing. As a service provider who has to provide such vehicles for D1 driver tests can you please tell me which of your range of vehicles now meets the requirement</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The EU Regulations state that the test vehicle specification for the D1 driving test must have a MAM (Maximum Authorised Mass) of at least 4 tonnes.  The term MAM is also known as the gross vehicle weight.  The gross vehicle weight of a MAXUS 17 seat Minibus is 3900kg (MAXUS 15 seat Minibus is 3.5t and MAXUS 12 seat Minibus is 3.2t) and so the MAXUS minibus range will not meet the 4.0t minimum criteria for taking the D1 test.

</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>

Some conversion companies ordered the XL van with a plug door and then converted these into accessible minibuses or luxury minibuses. If you search for ‘plug door’, Google will return results on this van door. If you are looking for a new vehicle then please contact your local LDV dealer who will discuss your requirements in full and put the order through to our Special Vehicle Operations team who fit this feature on the production line in our factory.

<title>Question: Can you tell me why the newer version of the 17 seater Convoy is heavier. Can you give me the exact weight of the newer ones as I have an older onje saying 3.5T and a newer same model saying 3.8T.  My driving licence only allows me to drive up to 3.5T.</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: There was a change made a good few years back, where the gross weight of a LDV Convoy Minibus was upped to 3.85t. Prior to this all LDV Convoy's were plated at 3.5t.

The reason the Gross Vehicle Weight of the LDV Convoy Minibus was upped was to ensure that the vehicle would not become overloaded when carrying adults. We have processed a number of individual requests to "downplate" a 3.85t LDV Convoy Minibus to 3.5t. This is usually when the minibus is being used to carry children for school runs or trips.

If you wish to 'downplate' your LDV Convoy Minibus then you need to go to your local LDV Dealer - taking along with you proof of ownership (log book). You will then be required to complete a form requesting the 'downplating'. The dealer will remove your chassis plate (and give you a receipt for this) and send it to LDV who will destroy your old chassis plate and send a new one to the dealer on your behalf. The dealer will then re-fit it to your LDV Convoy Minibus.

<title>Question: Maxus minibus sliding door refuses to open. Any ideas? Have I missed something?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: It is worth checking to see if the linkage inside the door has come adrift. Remove the inner door panel to see if the cable outer is clipped in place securely. Diagnosing problems without seeing the minibus is always difficult so we recommend taking your LDV minibus to your nearest LDV dealer.

<title>Question: Can you tell me by how much does the addition of a full roof rack have on the fuel consumption of our two LDV Convoy minibuses?</title>

<title>Question: What is the edc light illuminated on the dash?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The EDC is Electronic Diesel Control. This is the fault code lamp for the engine management system. Should this light illuminate solid, it indicates that there is a fault in the engine but will probably not affect the normal running characteristics of the engine. The vehicle should be driven to an LDV Service dealer at the next suitable opportunity (but is not usually urgent!). Should the light be flashing, then this indicates a more serious fault. Usually the engine will not start or will run in a reduced fuel state, often referred to as limp home mode. This vehicle will require immediate diagnostic attention by an LDV Service Dealer.

<title>Question: what is the towing weight ldv pilot pick up</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Towing weight cannot be precisely stated as it depends on the vehicle loading against the Gross Train Weight. Please refer to the LDV Pilot Drivers handbook, and the weights displayed on the chassis plate for the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and the Gross Train Weight (GTW). Extract from the LDV Pilot Handbook: "CAUTION: To calculate the maximum weight of a trailer and payload it is permissible to tow, subtract the gross vehicle weight (GVW) from the gross train weight (GTW) as shown on the vehicles identification plate. The GTW is legally enforcable."

<title>Question: Can the headlights on an LDV convoy 400 lwb minibus, Reg. 2000 "W", be adjusted for driving on the left hand side of the road??</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: I presume you mean driving on the Right Hand Side of the road. If that's the case then the answer is NO. The headlamps on a UK spec mininbus cannot be adjusted as the focal direction is dictated by the lens - which is designed for driving on the left hand side of the road. If conversion is required a set of Left Hand drive (export spec) headlamps should be fitted instead. Please contact your local LDV dealer who can supply you with 'Export' headlamps for your LDV Convoy minibus.

<title>Question: Can you tell me if LDV minibus convoys built after 2000 come in 2 power ranges 75 and 90 PS? Are they both turbo charged?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: LDV replaced the old Peugeot engines and gearboxes in LDV Convoy with two 2.5-litre units which were upgraded to 2.4-litre Duratorq units in 2002. These produce either 75 bhp or 90 bhp, with the latter having a slightly different bumper profile to accommodate the intercooler. Only the 90PS engine had a turbo charger.

<title>Question: Who at LDV is in charge of ensuring the Maxus design is fully tested to meet its target durability for its current UK/EU market and for potential future markets e.g. Russia? 

Have you proven the design sign off test and validated it against the different usage profiles for those markets?
</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: Responsibility for all matters regarding the integrity of LDV MAXUS Product Engineering is James Billingham, LDV Quality and Technical Manager 

As part of the development of the LDV MAXUS vehicle, over 1.5 million miles of road and track based durability testing was conducted. This included cold weather testing in Scandinavia and hot testing in Spain. Track based testing was conducted at MIRA and Millbrook in the UK and Ideada in Spain. 

An Engineering programme is currently in its final stages to confirm the suitability of LDV MAXUS for use in Russia. This has entailed additional cold climate and altitude testing at MIRA and in the Austrian Alps respectively. Extensive road based testing in Russia has confirmed that the road load inputs from Russian roads are within those validated at the two UK test tracks.

<description><![CDATA[Answer: The tare weight (unladen weight) is what we define as the Kerb Weight.

For example, the LDV MAXUS Short Wheel Base (SWB) Standard Roof 2.8T Van has a Kerb Weight of 1726 Kg and a Payload of £1074 Kg whilst a LDV MAXUS Long Wheel Base (LWB) High Roof 3.5T Van has a kerb weight of 1884 Kg and a Payload of 1616 Kg.

The MAXUS Chassis Cab LWB 3.5T has a Kerb Weight of 1640Kg and a Payload of 1860 Kg.

<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>

All LDV Convoy minibuses registered between these 2 dates are not subject to any retrofit requirement. BUT if your minibus was registered after 1st January 2005, it will have to be fitted with a speed limiter before 1 January 2008

<title>Question: where i can find any info about your finance?</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: LDV offer a range of van finance plans - for the private buyer to a company purchase. These include: Hire Purchase, Finance Lease and Contract Hire. Below is a brief summary of our van finance plans. For more details visit our finance section of the website http://www.ldv.com/gb/finance.asp or contact us or your local LDV dealer 


HIRE PURCHASE
If ownership is a priority, Hire Purchase is a cost-effective route to purchasing your new or used LDV MAXUS:

Flexible Repayment period – normally up to 60 months. 
Fixed Monthly Repayment aids your budgetary control and cash flow. 
Monthly repayments are VAT free 
VAT deposit reclaimable (VAT registered customers) 
All of the interest charges can be offset against taxable profits. 

FINANCE LEASE
This facility provides the customer with all the benefits of ownership with minimum deposit and maximum flexibility.

Deposits are usually the equivalent of three rentals, but can be any amount whatsoever 
Repayment period normally up to 48 months 
VAT is paid monthly, then claimed as normal if VAT registered 
Rentals are 100% allowable against taxable profits 
Facility can have a balloon profile, which defers a payment to the end of the contract - thus reducing monthly rental and aiding cash flow 
Vehicle sold or part-exchanged at end of contract hirer benefits from 95% of sales proceeds (ex. VAT) 
Ideal for non-VAT registered business users looking for low initial deposit and maximum flexibility 
Periods up to 60 months 

CONTRACT HIRE
A comprehensive, fixed cost solution where use of your commercial vehicle is important, but without the responsibilities of ownership. Contract Hire is essentially an operating lease with a full maintenance package. 
Deposits are anything from 3 rentals upwards. 
Total budgetary control - fixed costs, as long as you stay within the mileage. 
Monthly repayments are subject to VAT – then claimed back if VAT registered. 
Rentals are 100% allowable against taxable profits. 
Fixed maintenance package to include all services, repairs, tyres, dependant on contract

<title>Question: we are a high mileage operator - is there an element of unlimited mileage warranty eg like vw 1st 2 years is unlimited, 3rd year warranty still applies if less than 100,000 on clock??</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The warranty is not unlimited. The warranty terms are 4 Years / 60,000 miles (whichever is the sooner) or 3 Years / 100,000 miles (whichever is the sooner) 

Should a part of the vehicle which is covered by this warranty require repair or replacement as a result of a manufacturing defect or a defect in material during the applicable warranty period or mileage. The part will be repaired or replaced completely free-of-charge by your authorised LDV Dealer, regardless of any change of ownership during the period covered.  Any part so repaired or replaced will benefit from these arrangements for the balance of the warranty period applicable to the vehicle. The applicable warranty period or mileage is calculated from the date on which the vehicle was registered or handed over to the first owner (whichever is the sooner) and is subject to the exclusions listed under the heading “Exclusions”. 

The above information is available in the MAXUS Vehicle Handbook.

<title>Question: Is the answer to your speed limiter question correct? I had heard that Convoy minibuses fitted with the Duratorq engine were exempt.</title>
<link>http://www.ldvgb.com/gb/aboutask.asp</link>
<description><![CDATA[Answer: The speed limiter exemption is dependent on the registration date - not the model. The only minibuses that are exempt are minibuses that were registered between 1st October 2001 and 31 December 2004 inclusive. All LDV Convoy minibuses registered between these 2 dates are not subject to any retrofit requirement. BUT if your minibus was registered after 1st January 2005, it will have to be fitted with a speed limiter before 1 January 2008.
