Ah there's something wrong with your van :?

Some ppl say they've had the tow bar connected direct and not used a relay, personally I think that's crazy but hell it takes all kinds :P but if it is a tramps jag you are using that has only cost 100 turnips then why the hell not.

Bit the bullet and bought some all season / winter tyres.

Michelin Agilis Crossclimate - look quite nice & chunky,

Don't seem to affect noise or fuel consumption - will see how they cope once it gets really cold / snowy and also how long they last for.

I've kept my part worn Conti Van contact tyres incase I need to swap back in the summer

I have these fitted to my transit and have found them to be really good. Hardly noticed any change in road noise and the consumption is just the same as it was .

Took the camper to the dealers to look at the diagnostic fault store , so I put the little classic bike in the back so I could wheel it out and carry on to the office.

Still got to do a test with the big 1000cc sport bike in the back, but the little one was very stable.

Let’s hope they can work out why I get an intermittent service light and power loss about one every 2 weeks.
