Title: teething problems.....!new van!!
Post by: dazmond on April 14, 2010, 09:39:38 pm

picked up my new van today(renault kangoo) and thought ill easy get some roof bars from halfords thinking £50-£60.they only had one part and said id have to go to st helens for the other bits and it would cost me £110! :o :o

i thought sod that!and stormed off!then i went to a roofing place i know:NO ROOF BARS!so i nip up to halfords in another place and on the way i goes over this speed bump and i catch the front exhaust on it and it snaps on the bend on the front pipes so my vans blowing like mad!! :o :o ::) ::)

so i nips up to a local kwik fit and wait an hour and half for the part to arrive and fit it £105 for a little front pipe!then i goes to another car part place and manage to order a roof rack for £50 but cant pick it up til at least dinnertime tommorrow!so another day off work and the suns been shining all day here!! ::) ::)

on a good note i get 2 phone calls!one off a posh bird who wants me to price up her country house and ive picked up a small commercial job monthly(£60 first clean/£35 regular monthly! ;D ;D

oh and my free vistaprint 100 glossy full colour leaflets came today!so HAPPY DAYS!

IVE GOT SHEDLOADS OF WORK TO CATCH UP ON NOW THOUGH!! ::) ::) :P ;D ;D

theres always something that will go wrong dazmond  :'(

halfords dearest place for anything car related.

You should of went in and bought the two roof bars for about £15 each, then ONE fitting kit for £30ish....

nipped out to the van, empty the fitting kit & go back in with the empty box demanding a refund or replacement  ;D

We used to have a big citreon relay Lwb so when we got lazy and couldnt be bothered to climb on the roof we just threw the ladders in the back.
