Just found out my van has two broken anti roll links. Never go fast in it, carbs need a tune for sure. Noticed that one had gone and put it in for repair to be told both have gone since last MOT. Getting on to landlord to get curb lowered as I have to bump up the curb onto the drive at present, must have contributed!
Not happy as there is also an oil leak that has turned into a gush that will be an engine out job and a wheel bearing that needs doing.
No money for beer now.

Re: Anti roll bar links - both busted
driving up a kerb that hasnt been dropped eh....landlord will have fun as there are regs regarding that and it will cost as well. also not that i would take much notice but,,, it is an offence to drive over one crossing a walkway to gain access.
councils make a nice earner from this.

sorry bout the links

Re: Anti roll bar links - both busted
Thanks for letting me I have been breaking the law, just the news i need to cheer me up! Landlord advertised the"drive" so has to pay the £360 the council want or lower the rent. Most of the estate do the same so I guess the local police would rather have clearer roads?
Day off work booked to go and help do the work and learn more about the underside of the van. But yet more time to wait for parts now the second broken link has been spotted.

The van is with http://muddyfields-campervans.webs.com/. The guy running the place worked on my van for it's last MOT and has ended up setting this business up by himself. Decent hourly charge and I am short on tools, knowledge and space to do the current list of jobs.
