hi there, i'm Ryan, have just sold my car 'a Hyundai Atos' and am looking for a hi jet to build into a camper/day van for holidays, also will be my daily driver  Hyundai just wasn't quite big enough for my camping gear!

the reason i chose the hi jet is because i love the look of them, they're in my price range and are a good size, also being the age of 18, its one of the very few vans i can insure!  

i currently live in SW Scotland

thanks

Welcome,

Good luck on the hunt!

Read the buyers guide

Thank you, i will take a look

welcome   

Hello
Not a great many of them around here, good luck on your hunt.

Hello thanks, im on ebay, gumtree etc everyday looking for one lol, think i might my going to london as that seems to be where they are, but im determined to get one, also considered the suzuki super carry/Bedford rascal as i know their engines inside out, but prefer the more modern hi jet

welcome to the forum. I kinda wish i got a van for camping now although i love my truck

Here is the answer to the problem

hello, thanks all for your replies   have a few vans to go and see, need one with an MOT unless its near by and cheap,  

Welcome. Depends on your budget, but when I was looking I found a fair few later Piaggio Porter vans in Essex under £3k. Autotrader is also worth keeping an eye on.

If anyone things finding hijet bits it tough, then try hunting for extol bits.

Really HJ ??? I see ££££££££££££££££££££££££ signs in front of my eyes !!!!  Anyone need some
04 Plate Extol Bits. I have just decided to chop this one up for spares after all.       

bought my 1st hijet today, now i cant wait to collect it       , went to Edinburgh to look at a green one, was completely rotten, scrap basically, so got straight back on the net and found this  in Newcastle, so traveled across, and bought it, only has minimal rot on the sills, at the rear, so i can 100% save it and was £100 less than the 1st one i went to see

taken it a little drive around the industrial estate and fell in love with it

Looks pretty tidy, hopefully you left it running till tge fan kicked in a couple of times?

Looks very nice matey

hello, yes, the fan came on,

couldn't drive it much because its not taxed so was on private land was just testing the brakes and clutch etc witch were all good
