More repairs needed!
Took the camper on a weekend trip and it started to make a horrible rattle.
I think its one of the pulleys from the cambelt. Luckily i was going to replace cambelt and water pump anyway (Bit of a problem with the T4 apparently)
Should get it done at the end of of the month along with lots of the interior.

Bloody Van 2
Had the van booked in at All Van Mods today - to get windows fitted.
Turns out whoever had the van previously had put windows in that had rusted out. They then welded a panel in place. Unfortunately this left me with a gap that is too big for the windows.
Starting to wish i had just ditched it beofre spending so much on it.
Anyway - they are going to do the best job they can of sealing it up and I won't be putting windows in.
Yet another setback

Van is Back!
Finally got the van back today!! It is now roadworthy and rego is paid.
I have booked it in to get windows put in...goes in on the 1st June. Im leaving it at work for now so i should be able to get it insulated in my lunch breaks over the next couple of days. Should look better once there is insulation in because there is what looks like old glue all over the panels at the moment so it looks crappy.
