Where did you go for that quote?

My Category D PCV test only cost me about £100 in 2009 and currently the cost of the test is £65 for a LGV plus any additioanl costs for the CPC (if you need it) - I don't because I don't drive the bus "professionally".

I would think that price is for training and test, then more training until you pass?

A C1 licence to drive up to 7.5T, not a mini bus licence. You need to hire a 7.5 tonner to do the training and test because I don't own one.

Ooo babay.. MK3 on the drive. 2006 convoy with 37k miles,

virtually rust free even underneath, for 1500 bucks. 2.4 duratorq, currently sealing bulkhead leaks and tightening finger tight nuts that have never been tightened, not even in the factory.

ffs ldv.. come on.. no wonder the went tits up. So I finally own a piece of classic British engineering. The leaf spring setup looks tough as old boots but the dashboard and switches etc. my god it's all so cheap and nasty! I'm amazed if all that stuff even worked properly from new.
