Probably get more money for a log splitter All out,buggered if I could work out where the live popped into the van so I cut n capped it.Got £24.80 down th...

Undo all the mounting bolts and battery cables. Lower the van and drive it out of the way. Reverse new van in a...

Well done, but you've made hard work for yourself. When I was a bit younger I use to get 4 hours to fit one of those or 6 hours for removal and refit in a new van.

The RT has gone up by £20 and the Sprinter by the same,that'll do me.

Fear not,the plastic was suitably keyed.

Yes,when we sailed to Split, we had no idea what deck space actually intailed.We did book a cabin but it was rough to say the least.We ended up on the outer deck,along with god knows how many other travellers, who bunked down everywhere, including pitching tents on the decks :lol: It was absolute ch...
