I hate hose lock
« on: November 30, 2011, 09:04:47 pm »
As usual came home plugged me water in, went in the house,
Opened a beer put me feet up.. Great

Finish beers goes the shop for bread, when I opened the door to my complete horror
There water flowing out of the back doors of my van ???
Runs in the house turn the water of and ran back to the van
When I opened the doors the hose had come of and was just filling my van up!!! :'(

I look in the front of my van and there is water out if both doors foot wells are full and I mean full! 10-12 inches....

And do you no whe worst part???


2600 newly printed leaflets in passenger foot well  :'( :o :'( :'( :'( :'(


And hour and a half spent mopping out

Ah man! You not wrong!
The main problem I've got is there's loads still under the floor!
When I stand in the foot well it like a sponge with all the water under the floor :'(
My nice new van as well
Why didn't it happen in my old banger????

nasty. you got plastic liners in footwells?  I had similar, except I over judged water pressure at a friends, and tank overflowed. sucked it all out of footwells no problem with carpet shampooer, but took weeks for it to dry under plastic lining. and that was in summer!

even with humidifier couldn't get it dry. should have done a Clarkson and shot a hole though the footwell! or a 6 inch nail :o
