Hello Pat...

Welcome to the small world of Dafs and thank you for joining the ED forum..

Well done for saving this 44 but as you have found out,this is probably best as a spares car...

If you have time,please feel free to visit ED central in Colchester at a convenient weekend to you..but please let me know in advance if you wish to attend...

I have a couple of Dafs for sale,including a tax exempt 44 which does need a clutch and welding but does drive very nicely and has a very clean interior...also we have a 33 which is very soild but needs engine work..both are air cooled..

As you are new to Dafs,I do have a few which you can drive around a farm and get the feel of..and bond your love for Dafs..

Hope this is of help to you and hopefully we will see you in the near future..

Regards

Matt.

Put the kettle on..more tea needed.
Can I buy another Daf yet..?..

Thanks for your kind message Matt. I felt bit defeated earlier when I started to realise how bad it was. I've put the car up for the £200 it owes me on a Facebook car page as spares or repairs. Hopefully I can get close to that back. I'd love to pop down to the centre at some point soon. I'm really keen to get another one that wants some welding and sorting out.

Hi Pat..

Good luck with the sale but if you don't sell the 44,you then have a spares source..just means you will have to buy another 44 or a 46..these are pretty much the same car,with only a few minor difference's due to Volvo's ownership of Daf..

Keep us updated if you find another car in the meantime,another owner may be in the area who can advise with some points of interest of Daf ownership..and spot any expensive issuses.
