Since I've had the van next to nothing has gone wrong with it, all I've done are the usual things, filters, oil and tyres. The day after I bought it I did 1030 miles in 24 hours.
Just took it for an MOT and it failed on wiper blades, brake pipes across the back axle and the vacuum pump for the servo. Not a great deal for a 12/13 year old workhorse, that still looks better than a lot of other cars on the road.
Before I bought it I personally fitted new hand brake cables, rear shoes, N/S/F strut, new pads and a rear exhaust pipe. All of which was paid for, just prior to buying the vehicle.
I think I've said just about everything in the last column. I've made a few changes to it, such as car carpets, digital clock, centre console and Montego seats. It's still very bouncy though.
All said and done this is probably the best vehicle I've ever owned. Reliability, second to none. Go out and buy one now, before it's too late.
Trust me.
I realise this is an old review and you probably don't have the van any more, but for anyone who is interested the 2.0 turbo diesel from the montego is a straightforward swap into the mastro, you will need to creatively bodge the downpipe though. it's a highly rewarding swap, with much more power and makes the van indecently quick. I did this to mine and loved it.
