At last we are getting away from the Yorkshire winter and heading south.
The van went in for a bit of work on Dec 14th to rectify a few issues. I was aware before I bought it that the van had no synchromesh on third gear. Unfortunately I never did master the art of double de-clutching and laterly I lost synchromesh on second gear and was struggling with first. Not a problem on the flat but slowing down to almost a stop, negotiating a roundabout and exiting up-hill was a right twat.
I also asked for the suspension to be checked out as the van rocked like buggery on every showground we visited last year. So what with gearbox, new springs, new tyres and other odds and sods I now also have a huge hole in my pocket. Let's just get away from the damp and hit the sun.
