Hey everyone, I hope everyone is getting some good use out of there vans in the sunshine :D I was coming of the motorway in mine after about an hours drive and as I slowed down fairly rapidly as it was into the services the buzzer went off.

Thank you for all the help guys!. Looks like I have a load of checks to do. I'll let you know how it goes!
