Have you noticed that your wallet has developed a large hole since you bought your van?

My only tip is to be ready to shout "GENTLY" any time one of your mates even looks like touching a cupboard door!

I thought, just for a week or 2, that the oil filler pipe was a bad design, till I disovered it's little secret !!

Anyone want to buy a funnel ? - used once only

I found a bottle of methadone caps behind the interior panels when I took them off
This might explain the way the interior had been built, certainly looks like the chippie was high on summat

Have you found the switch yet?

Somewhere on your van - it varies from vehicle to vehicle - will be a switch. It'll be quite heavily wired into a loom, or onto the engine, or in between some other wires near the dash. Then it'll disappear behind a cupboard, under the floor, behind the fridge. Flicking the switch doesnt seem to turn anything on, anything off, or affect the van in any way. You'd like to remove the switch and the wiring, but you're never quite sure what the switch could do, so it remains, being flicked from one side to the other every now and then. Occasionally it gets blamed for some electrical glitch, but in all cases is found not responsible. It may just have been wired in just for fun....

i know what that switch is for.......






















let me explain.................
picture the scene, if you will...........


you are happily trundin down the happily minding your own, and you come up a road junction......... you see the mundano driver sitting there, 1/2 a mile away, nothing coming the other way, but he sits there.........
and just when you are about close enough to read the inscription on his baseballcap, he pull out in front of you..................


its the invisable switch!
