Window Cleaning Forum / Re: EV Van Drivers, give us an update…
« Last post by zesty on Today at 09:25:43 am »
Picked up my E Custom Sport from Birmingham Ford yesterday morning. Spent the day/night in Birmingham and Coventry so didn’t drive it much yesterday. Drove it home 340 miles today and first impressions are this van is brilliant to drive, a better ride than my Custom Sport diesel, probably because of the smaller wheels and the bigger sidewalls on tyres? Will be kitting it out between now and the 4th of January, then we’ll see how it fare’s as a works van.

Mega comfy to drive isn’t it, I think the biggest difference is the rear springs, it’s made the van much more comfortable.

Keep us posted 👍🏼
Aye it could be that, it creates quite a gap between tyre and wheel arch but if the trade off is a better ride I’m all for it. The drivers seat is a big improvement too, so comfortable, even on a long drive.
Will give an update once it’s kitted out and on the job👍🏻

Look forward to the update. I got a pcp quote on one the other day, too expensive. Think I will get a personal loan and wack a decent size deposit down. What colour you gone for?

I’m looking at ex demos and used ones with less than 4000 miles on the clock.

Typical employee, they dont give a f@@k do they, Last one i had hit my van 4 times in as many months they are just tw@ts for the most part. An slx should last a couple of years before snapping at least, yes clamps wear but ive had poles that are still alive after 3 or 4 years.

Daz why is that sediment filter so orange ? Reason I’m asking is I’ve used an ro system for 17 years and never had a filter that colour
4 month intervals(sediment and chlorine filters). Same condition as last time.

It’s rust from old metal pipes

Wow  that’s a bit concerning as it’s drinking water

Rusty nutz!! it'll make your hair go ginger  ;D

It’s usually down to old cast iron Victorian pipes we get it around here as well

If a member of staff is abusing or neglecting their equipment that’s one thing; improperly trained is another. Don’t ever expect a member of staff to treat their equipment how you as the owner treats and views that equipment.

As for deducting money from their wages, that’s illegal. That’s worse than neglecting equipment. If that happened to me when I was employed you’d be dragged over the coals.

I would happily go to court over it no issues whatsoever, a friend of mine charged an employee for damaging a vehicle went to court and they upheld the charges against the  employee
