I will go to some syncro meets but when I have my camper up and running how I want it to be.
No I really want a full working vc not a dodgy one. And if it costs £600 then I want it to be top notch.
Tho I need to have the vc checked before I replace it.

No, I meant I'd test it
properly, like on the rough, and then on the road

Make sure they know it's 4WD;
make sure they know where the gears are too, so they don't wreck the box (I put a
big printed diagram on the dashboard

)
they won't of course be testing the 4WD;
once or twice I've actually removed the propshaft, just for the MOT

;
don't take any "pooh" over emissions

;
now I trust them, am a bit more relaxed, always take to same tame lickle back-street garage, nearby.
Good luck then, fingers crossed for next Monday

Insist on watching...it's a legal right and if they break it they can't really get out of it if you saw them do it. Also the lads in the garage can check you out and give marks out of ten etc...

All good then, and MaxCad deserves a slapped a*** for that, but he's probably right

Is it still legal to drive home from mot place if van fails?
