Had a similar experience to you Daz... My motor died on me (vw sharan).... I was on the motorway. Mechanic said it would cost more to fix than the van was worth.

Got a van and I have increased my workload by 40% daily by being able to carry more water. Before I was having to come back home a few times daily.

you can go into your actual bank and withdraw all your money if you like, you don't have to take it out of hole in the wall!
