...and clearly are using you to vent some completely different frustration going on in their lives...

Am I the only one who found this rather amusing, given the circumstances?

Thanks, roof bars might be an idea.

Have any of our other tradesmen done a similar thing please?

I'm currently getting my 110 van ready to use for my work and one of the things I need to sort out is a tube for my 3 metre copper pipes. I've got one mounted on a roof rack on my Berlingo van, but wi ...

You can do it yourself if you buy the right stuff. Dinitrol (I believe) and Bilt Hamber's stuff comes in big aerosols with a selection of long thin nozzles to get in all the nooks and crannies. Try he ...

As the bonnet has to be lifted right up to remove it from the hinge brackets, I'm quite surprised security product manufacturers haven't concentrated on stopping it being opened in the first place rat ...

They don't need to pull the handle to open the bonnet, just reach in and pull the cable from outside in either of a couple of locations.

It would be fairly easy to weld two pieces of curved steel onto the open brackets on the bulkhead to make them into a complete loop. Then the bonnet could only be removed by taking the six screws out ...

I've probably gone over the top with mine but so far on the chassis and underside I've used six cans of S50, four of UC and I've got four of UB still to use.

And I've not done inside the doors, bo ...

The back of my new, unladen 110 van is actually 2065mm high (the LR blurb says 2027mm). The underside of my garage door frame is 2034mm from the ground. The blurb made me think it would fit. It didn't ...

Thanks Steve, that's most interesting.

An odd question perhaps, but do the people who've experienced the aluminium corrosion regularly polish or wax their vehicles? If not, I wonder if doing that w ...

Thanks very much, but I'm acutely aware of the problems with the steel bits. What I meant was is the aluminium corrosion around the windscreens a recent phenomenon?
