I was in the ambulance service as a NHS paramedic. In the early hours , back at base, if the crew room was full I would sleep on the stretcher in these 😁
Only requires a C1(7 1/2 ton ) licence, C1-E is articulated , i.e. drawing a trailer ., the E is basically " Extension " , B+E (car) up to 7 1/2 ton , c1=e, c+e (artic ) d+e bus/coach etc ., all which you need to sit a test on .

I’ve you’ve any info would be much appreciated thanks all the best . It’s and ex police midium wheelbase panel van
No fucking way, imagine all the people who died in that, all the blood and stuff that you would find in cracks etc when stripping it. Not for me, no way.
@@ApolloFreya I used to sleep on the stretcher in these when I worked in ambulance service on nights. If the crew room was full there was nowhere else to sleep 😁
just helped my mates daughter get the Fiat Ducato through its MOT, must have spent about a week digging through decommissioned wiring and air suspension faults. Zero care taken throughout the decommission stage at all, just a quick rip out of essentials. Never again.
You only need a C1 licence not C1E which is a 7.5 tone plus trailer licence. However you can replate these to 3.5 tonne but obviously that reduces your weight limit
Good afternoon!! Thank you for the comment and correcting me :) unfortunately now you cannot downrate these vans to 3500kg. The DVLA require at-least 1000kg payload to downrate nowadays!
Cool, but as an ex paramedic I can tell you these vans are thrashed to within an inch of their lives.
Yeah but on the flip side of that they are serviced and maintained very well.

Ha ha ....believe me no there not.
@MrTyger11 Don't need to believe you. I know as I worked at Yorkshire Ambulance and was based in fleet.
I lived in Bedford cf 2.3 ex ambulance for 4 yrs that was thrashed an still chugging on best of luck fitting it out 👍

What would be the cost of removing the genesis system and replacing with a proper loom ?
Sprinters are rot boxes

@@humourless682 yes man’s a legend of the 2.7 5 cylinders. He prevailed for the better though?
@@basevan Very, very costly though. I would say something like an Iveco would be a much better choice ...............
Nice
It a Mercedes I would have as a gift
A vehicle thats been driven like the clappers for 50% of its milage and had people die in it... Yea, mint!
Never raced or rallied….
