Andy at SCS

For info neither van is over payload
I do not do Danger!!
the dispatch has a 650 tank and gets filled to 600
the berlingo has a 400 tank and gets filled to the brim.
Both within payload after accounting for all other eqp.
fuel and driver, etc.
You should note that the vehicles are parked on a sloping driveway
so that may exaggerate their look.
Or are you just jealous that I have two  ??? ??? :o

Russ,

Those wheel arches do look a bit close to the wheels mind.

What's the wear 'n' tear on the vehicles like?  Does carrying this much water do them much harm?

Poleman how much did you pay for that wrap on the van please,looks good.

Post by: russ_clark on July 05, 2007, 06:10:45 pm

Hi Tosh

I thought wheel arches are supposed to be near the wheels mate- lol  :P

Both vehicles are serviced like clockwork every six months.
They do not do loads of miles as my round is all pretty local
but it is stop start most days.
Both have under 70k on the clock
My mechanic has never pointed out any problems to me

I can fill you in on a little as I was with Simon on friday when he took that pic though I don't remember the 1 in 0 hill.

It has a 650 ltr upright tank with double 100 mtr hose reels just inside the tailgate.

Simon will have to fill you in with any other details you wish to know when he next comes on.
