My fuel consumption seemed to be increasing, although mpg staying roughly the same?

Doubt the big split in the breathe hose is helping :(

2002 VH Ford Transit motor home dropping out of 3rd gear on roundabouts and hills. Replaced activator to no avail. Would it be a relay sticking? Ford unable to repair it so would be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.

So I watched in disbelief as the mcconnecheys tyre fitter dropped my van off the side of the ramp as he drove it on. Came back, and when questioned he laughed and said it’s a good job it’s a van and not a car... complaint to head office sent. Not impressed. Also left van running for 40 mins while on ramp, changing tyres and doing wheel alignment. Can wheel alignment not be done without power assistance? Any advice helpful to increase my complaint

I wouldn't have left the tyres fitters until I had a written promise of A, a full repair on my van or B, the guy being sacked instantly,

I hate peoples attitude of 'its only a van' N

I was in a hurry. They had messed about long enough. I didn’t want confrontation there, I decided to deal with it later. I have emailed in a complaint, and had a reply, but will be taking it further, as I’m rather p’d off with the attitude and using up 40 mins of fuel on idle. On the plus side the van was nice and warm when I got it out. No obvious damage done, but just want to stir it a bit as they made a joke about it rather than saying sorry.

:lol: a pink 1 that reads Dirtydog as the coffee flows through it :P

I have these cups which are just plastic and open at the top like a beaker and the lid clips on, 6 for 2 pounds in b&m :-)

I thought you could chop and glue 1 in the mk7 holder so it is still usable but tall enough to stop tall cans and bottles of beer etc falling out.

Monster cans go straight away don't they :? Nearly as bad as the iPhone holder in the early customs :lol:

I need to get a straw like that! Wonder if you can get custom made straws?

The normal polystyrene/card cups from the burger van etc are fine in the cup holder, but my thermal cup just doesn't like staying in the cup holder :roll:
I don't drink monster type drinks so no problems there

What's a decent brand of tools to buy in the UK?

I'm from Australia and by the time they import the brands I know halfway around the world all the boxes are upside down and the sockets fall out when you open them.

Had a break in to the storage shed at my workplace, my van is parked in there with the power steering hose hanging down while I wait for the new hose in the post. They were after a huge drum of power cabling, but also nabbed my toolbox that was sitting by the front wheel ! b*stards !
