The van is back

Posted by van on 07 June, 2010 12:55

Well I finally got the van back after much waiting, and general uselessness of the garage who was repairing it.  Unfortunately work has started to pick-up, so not sure when I'll have time to work on the van.

And the wait continues

By now I thought I'd be posting about how I'd been finishing off a few bits of my van, however I'm not. The reason for this, is that the insurance company is still fixing my van. After 2 months and every form of incompetents known to man, including claiming my van did not have a skin or cooker thus was not a campervan. They claimed this despite their own engineer having photographed them. The van is still with the garage, it is now waiting on a small pipe so I am told, despite telling me last week it was only waiting to be painted.

At some point I hope to get it back, I would like to go camping in it.

Bad insurance company

Death of a battery

Posted by van on 19 March, 2009 18:02

Once again my van failed to start this morning. Having fully charged the battery only two days ago, it would tend to suggest that the battery had died.  It's the original battery came with the van so it's 6 years old, and has not been treated too well lately, so it's death was to be expected. This afternoon I replaced it, however it did cost some what more (£98) to replace than the one in my car. The replacement seams to have done the trick, and it seams start some what quicker than before.
