Pull anything I like :P probably need to set myself a limit though, maybe based on the tensile strength of the welding I did on the front, so maybe 1 tonne as it's a fwd I'd expect something like this.....

:lol:

Bloody Ford :wink:

Washed and machine polished it then made a start on applying a ceramic coat. Hoping to get it finished tomorrow if the weather stay fine.

Not today but recently...

Upgraded the bluetooth module from 2014 to 2017 spec (better connectivity and track/artist info displayed while streaming)
Enabled auto locking in the BCM.
Removed the 110mph limit also in the BCM.

I washed it 8)

It got stuck in mud last week and although the roads were wet from rain on the way home I still had mud etc to clean off, it is now shiny to BS100000000000000000000001

I used the traditional method of water hose with spray attachment and a bucket and sponge with hot soapy water.

Yes I know its only a van but I think of it like a car :mrgreen:

Oh and I used the 110psi air hose to clean it out today in work. :oops:

Splendid.

Oh and I threw the old tarp away because it had mums fridge juice all over it and I'll be honest it did make me wretch somewhat. :?

Bought a new 1 and some tools though so the world is flat again. :D

So 200 for a tow bar which the guy said would have been 600 then 130 for the wiring which might cost a fair bit more fitted then activating in ids so Ford 80+ or 100 to buy ids.

Bloody fear do to pull a trailer about isn't it :shock: :?

:lol: yes that too, I caught the tow bar on snowflake a few times.
I just don't like the look of them in the custom tbh and it is like my car/camper so I don't want the neighbours to think I'm a mk6/7 trampy type of character :o

Oh no that is an endeavour fraught with problems, legal issues, health and safety issues, misunderstanding of the rules and regulations, inexperience of towing such a contraption. Risk assessment qualifications, cpc, taco regs drivers card, planning permission to park it at home.

Nah man it reaks of death :(

Joking aside, my licence covers me to tow a trailer and a combined van and trailer at 8.25 tonnes (or something like that) :shock:

But I can drive a 7.5t rigid but need to do cpc.

Bloody. Dotgov :lol:
