Mercedes Sprinter 313 CDI LWB High Roof Campervan – Off Grid Project

**Priced for quick sale due to house move and not having the time to complete the repair.**

### Vehicle Details

– Mercedes Sprinter 313 CDI
– Long wheelbase, high roof
– 2008
– Manual
– 2,148cc
– Registration: GL57 FHF
– Mileage: 184,500 – may increase slightly as the van is still being used
– Good engine
– Solid underneath

The van has a comprehensive off-grid camper conversion and has also had significant mechanical work carried out during the previous owner’s ownership. Loads of storage.

### Current Fault

The engine management light is currently on and the van is in **limp mode which restricts the turbo/injectors. It still drives but is slow and struggles on steep hills

The issue has been investigated and has been narrowed down to a **suspected engine wiring loom fault**. It will require further diagnosis and repair.

**Priced at £10,000 for a quick sale to reflect the current fault and the fact I don’t have the time to sort it.**

### Work Carried Out by Previous Owner

The previous owner advised that the following work had been completed:

– Reconditioned engine – approximately £1,200 plus fitting
– Reconditioned twin turbo – approximately £1,500 plus fitting
– New rear inner sills – approximately £800 including materials
– New steering rack – approximately £200 fitted
– Brake pads replaced
– New ABS sensors
– New EGR

The previous owner advised that the reconditioned engine and twin turbo were fitted around 6–12 months before he advertised the van for sale.

I purchased the van from the previous owner on **3 September 2025

### Summary

This is a well-equipped Mercedes Sprinter campervan with a strong off-grid setup and a lot of money previously spent on the conversion and mechanical work.

The main issue is the engine fault causing limp mode, which has been narrowed down to a **suspected engine wiring loom fault**.

Once repaired, I believe the van could be worth approximately **£18,000–£23,000** based on its specification and conversion.

Ideal for someone mechanically minded, a campervan enthusiast or someone looking for a project with plenty of potential.

Only selling due to a house move and not having the time to complete the repair.
