Title: You win this one winter!
Post by: g.brookes on January 16, 2013, 07:51:05 am
Trying to open the frozen rear van doors this morning and managed to pull the handle out of its socket.
Finally made it to my first job and the waters frozen on the glass. Time for a coffee I think

Couldn't get out of the side gate lock frozen. Outside tap frozen. Hose frozen.
Rad in van has worked fine though.
Trad was much simpler!!!!!

I hardly used any force. The vans only 2 years old and this is the second time it's happened. I'll be having words with Monsieur Citroen

i have an old scudo and i could feel that the handle would break had i pulled any harder this morning! so defrosted the seals with warm water.

was a nice change to have a door that locks though!  :D

No it's the nemo. IMO there's no need for a night van if you work on your own
