• Peugeot commercial dealer John Harrison of Nottingham has developed a factoryapproved four-wheel-drive conversion for the Boxer van range.
The Lowdham-based main agent and French D'Angel 4x4 conversion specialist can equip vans, minibuses, chassis-cabs and motor caravans for an average price of £5,000.
The conversion comprises a transfer gearbox to convey drive to the rear wheels, a longitudinal transmission set-up encased in a tube for added reliability,.and a De Dion rear axle arrangement. This unusual con figuration for a light CV is said to restore the original comfort and handling levels of the standard Boxer.
The 4x4 drive conversion weighs in at 130kg and increases the vehicles height by 33mm. It can be engaged on the move by a neat switch. The only Boxer variant which cannot be converted to four-wheel drive is the 1.9TD, due to its turbo installation.
A range of optional extras is available, including a transfer box for low and high ratios; a rear cliff-lock; bash plates; and mud and snow tyres.
