Mmmm, I keep thinking about a nice 3.9 auto for mine. Is this wrong, should I be ashamed ? Mo

Hmm, oddly enough, I thought the same thing Chris 2008 anyone ? Mo

Looks ok Paul, although I thought it looked a bit narrow. I'll be keen to see the finished article with all the finished info on it. Mo

Yes, Fridge but because they're cheap doesn't make them bad ! Agreed, with all that ironwork on the outside and heavy racking inside coupled with the smallest engine it's going to have to be driven hard to go anywhere which isn't going to help fuel consumption at all, good job you don't have to pay What is the roof rack for ? Could you carry the longer lengths of material on it ? I couldn't say about the paint thickness but I wouldn't think it's any different to the others since they all travel through the paint process at the same speed, so any paint saved would be negligable and the savings would be offset by the need for a another robot programme (I think they have enough trouble with the ones they have !). I know that paint thickness is something that is checked regularly, with ultra sound I think. The ECUs for the engines are all the same per engine type so if that was changed it would be by outside contracters perhaps by the outfitting company. There is a security screw in a high collar on the top of the ECU box on the LH side of the engine bay and one in the side as well, I believe these are fitted to all UK spec vehicles so if they've been tampered with then perhaps the ECU has been modified. I think we can all agree at least, that it's not so much the van that's the problem but the specs that are forced on the fleet buyers by BTs accountants. What you need Fridge is the LWB 2.5 ltr, you could throw that roof rack away then Mo

Masters are built in France Chris. The Vivaro/ Trafic/ Primavan are built here m8. With 5 years of year on year sales increases, I beg to differ. Mo

Bloody hell !!!!!!! Good job they asked you to look at it Les ! Mo

Are those a pair of your old red stilettos behind the hub Les Mo

It's OK Chris, no need to apologise but 100,000 vans out of our plant this year (and each is an order, no more fields of vans) with the lines running 24 hrs a day 5 days a week, says you are wrong ! GME want an extra 5000 on top of that next year too. Young Fridge, regarding the Vivaro, I think your probs are more to do with BTs fleet specs rather than the van themselves. IIRC they had the smallest engine in the range and the lowest spec poss. the lack of room may be down to all that racking you have in the back but there is a LWB version As for comfort, that's very subjective as I've always found them to be quiet and jolly comfy, and I've done a few miles in them too Will, go out and test drive a variety of vans. Buy or lease the one that suits your needs and budget. Mo

I'll add a thumbs up for Ottons in Salisbury, who when my belt tensioner bearing died en route to a week away, repaired it immedietly, didn't fleece me and even managed a chat with the enthusiastic mechanic. Mo

Merry Christmas everyone ! Mo

I missed the last couple of posts, my apologies for not thanking sooner, I now understand Mo

Could we have a thing that tells you what threads have new posts on them since your last visit like the old LRO forum. I found that really useful. Mo

Splendid, Bish, Geoff and the boy John too, looking good . Can't you take the 110, Mark ? Mo

Nice one Steve Mo

Nice site, Dave ! And a nice quick server too Mo

Thanks guys but why would you need to switch the negative side of a circuit as well ? What sort of things would you work like that. No wonder it's called electrickery ! Mo

What does this double pole, single pole, double throw or single throw all mean with regard to switches as I'm simple and can't work it out. Mo

I got one too I think I'll go back in October time as the other forum trip will keep me busy for a while Mo

Oops ! Mo

Read all about it ! Mo

I used penny washers to make toggles for my net, the elastic has to get over these to come off, which it hasn't yet Mo

Adam, I went back as far as I could reach and replaced the wire from there. Luckily the break must have been in the section I cut out as the problem was eliminated and I didn't have to do any more. Had that not resolved the problem then I would have run a new wire from an ignition switched live. It seems to be a pretty harsh environment for a wire to live in and I noticed that the insulation had hardened and that some cracks had appeared so I sleeved the new wire and then put some plastic cable armour on the outside of it to protect it from the environment. Mo

I had similar problems, Adam. I replaced the fuel solenoid wire back as far as I could see it and that cured the problem. HTH Mo

A complete waste of time but I've done it anyway. Mo

Not only is there THE mask emoticom but you can also "Insert special item" . Are you working for Barrymore now, Trev ? Mo No, really m8, I don't fancy a swim, thanks all the same ........
