confession, as the person who put the 19mm sump plug in i would like to give my side of the story ! when i got the van i started to change the oil only to find the 13mm ? plug completely rounded off, i persevered and drained the oil , went to a vw dealer who sold me a new plug and only when i got it...

thanks, I`ll have a look at the jk one and consider oil filled

i want to go away in the van in colder weather and want some suggestions for a heater to use from the hook up, i have never used hook up before (needed it though ! ) i was thinking about one of those halogen type things, about £8 from home bargains ! or similar, it has to be cheap though ! any ideas ?

been with RAC for 20 years, I pay about £100 ? but this is with the `arrival` bit, this means they will go on to a campsite to rescue you, some of the other companys won`t apparently, used them twice in the last year when the picassos low pressure fuel pump failed, (thursday night the most recent ! ...

thats the one, it`s in good shape apart from the slightly rusty weepy bit, will silicon stick is the next question, thanks, just looked on jk before your post but couldnt see that one !
