Oil Leak - Noddy Question from a Newbie

Post by **MacAoidh** » 05 Sep 2006, 15:24

These vans + those engines + Welsh hills = lots of zen moments!

I was on Bryn Road, up on the hill towards the Welsh Books Centre, top of the funicular railway. Amazing view, could almost see Ireland. Hay-on-Wye now.

Good luck with the van; the oily a*** thing gets annoying at times, but it's real fun knowing that tail-gaters are getting it too (and they really do!).

With the weight and non-aerodynamics of these vans, having a restricted speed limit is probably a good thing in terms of fuel consumption.

HeHe. Found mine a couple of weeks go, also after about a year

Borth, there's a name I haven't heard for a while.

All the best with the topping up. I'll give you a shout next time I'm over, maybe we can compare vans...
