    Thought i would share my Sprinter with you all. Owned it for about a year now, and have loved every minute of it... except when it breaks down.
    I use it for daily driving and for deliveries at work, which is fun! (especially now i have a heater)

    Engine currently has a partly blown head gasket, so it will be coming apart soon, and the new diff and other gearbox that i have will probably be going in at the same time.

    Will post up some up to date photos soon...
