Do you let people leave their van and a list on the Friday and collect it on the Sunday, or is this considered a bit rude? I only ask because I really wanted to join you and have been saving up numerous jobs, now I can't make it

 

I'd like to say a big thanks to Tuesday for getting volunteered against his better judgement to organise this.

raise:

 

I can only imagine what could happen to a van that was left unattended. I know what I would do. >


Seriously gutted at missing this one and yes TW is doing a great job wether he wanted it or not.

 

Is fitting a 1600 thermostat and rod doable in a field? Engine has to come out for that, not done that before so a bit of guidance would be nice. Would I have to bring a trolley jack and axle stands or could I borrow some on site. I dont have any but I could get them if necessary.

 

Bring some off the stuff at weekend zoe woody will do it for you

 

I can bring 3t jack, wheel ramps, axle stands and some spanners.


Can just remind people that if you are jacking up remember you will need a board for stands and jake as its on grass and on that note a large cardboard box or ground sheet to lay/work on under your van.

If you are doing oil change and empty can to catch/takeaway the old oil.

The site/page owner hasn't up dated it much so ignore dates and things.
