My van broke down...

My transit broke down on wednesday...About an hour after leaving the M25 which was a bit of luck..!!

Accelerator throttle position sensor apparently..

That's not the worst bit...My boss organised me a hire van...Said it would be a new LWB transit...Matey knocked the door with the hire van, I walked out only to be confronted by a bloody IVECO Jumbo..!! What a piece of crap it was...Like driving a 3rd world bus..!! Hated the thing...

Got my van back today..God did I miss it

Cost my boss £190 all in to replace the throttle position sensor...Not too bad I think...

Just thought I'd share my psycological torment with you all..

Bloody Iveco...

Better now? £190 for a sensor? I have bought engines for less, I don't think I could cope with paying that much for a little part......

I broke down today
Right at the front of traffic lights... on junction 45 of the M4
Had to wait for 20 mins for the RAC.

2nd time out ever in my van, and the first time I have ever had to call the RAC out - only got insured yesterday too!
Glad to know they are there when I need them!

Yeah whenever my transits off the road (luckily rarely) they always hire me in a LWB sprinter (old model) and its like stepping back in time. The transit is the best van to drive in my opinion, prefer it to the latest sprinter/LT.

Better now?

Yes thanks..Just wanted to have a moan..Hope that's ok.?!?!?

Never going to pretend I know a thing about mechanics and the costs of repairs, hence the reason I said "Not too bad I think"... I don't give a monkey's though as I don't have to pay for repairs (unless I am the cause of the fault/damage etc.) Bad me for thinking that way...

The main point of my post was to have a good old sulk about the Iveco...Just showing my love for my sexy transit I suppose....
