The client wants supplies to 5 pitches...
Hi peeps, anyone out there had deadlocks fitted to the lower part of the side sliding door of a Vivaro panel van (2009-14 model)?
I've just had this work done, and I'm unhappy with the finished product on the side door. Sure it locks, but the cylinder sits on a slant (the back door lock is...
Hi,
I spent some time putting together a security app to alert me each time the van doors are opened. I part built the commands utilizing the tasker app from androids play store and had help from a friend who lives across the pond, he built the majority of features.

Anyone in the north London area that is offered tools...

The problem's history: Bought the caravan with an low level charged battery, hooked it to the main, heater and water pump worked for two days until the battery died. Bought a medium level charged battery, plugged it in and after three days it died. We checked the charger with a...
Why is every VW Transporter for sale a 'camper conversion opportunity' and not just a van, there should be a tax on those who convert perfectly good work vans into weekend accommodation!
I add this here although i have asked the same question elsewhere - i want to see what your opinions are

Hello all,
Recently been looking to get a new van, think i've settled on leasing a transit custom.
Seen a few threads on here recently regarding it all but wondered where everyone leases their vans from & what kind of price you've found them for.
Recently spoke to vanarama who i thought were...
Hi all,
I'd like a bit of advice because I feel the internet is full of varied information with nothing concrete to answer my questions.
I gained qualifications whilst serving in the Royal Engineers (Army), and since leaving the forces I had to rush into a job to cover my bills. It was never...

Hi guys,
Does anyone know about the advantages and disadvantages of these 2 voltage standard? There must be some technical reasons for some countries to choose to use this one but not that one? (E.g. UK use 230V when US use 110V).
And can a 110V machine function well if we simply change from...
I'm considering buying a new van, Renault Traffic or similar size. Just wondering if any of you use the likes of Vanarama, Van Monster etc or if you prefer to use a local dealer. Thanks in advance
Are they the horrible crude pigs of vans that I am led to believe ?
One has come up locally to me of not great age, low mileage, and quite cheap. It would just be for bobbing around my local area, the majority of my work is in a 10 mile radius from base, so performance is not something I'm mad...
