Well we picked up the van and the report card stays it all.
Fit For The Purpose. Signed Off.
Everything now works as it should.
They do get off their Ass, when they get served.
The Cost to us was worth EVERY PENNY and then some.
It only took 3 WEEKS to workout how to fix the blo...dy thing.
Plus as a good will jester, we got a hand full of extra draw locks thrown in. Just in case. ( Fills us with confidence.)
We hope that in our retirement, with our new van, it takes us to were we want.

Great news, Jim ..................at long last,
Now all you have to do, is get back over here to the West and catch some really big FUSH.
Happy travels to you all.
K.J.
P.S. Don't come any earlier than March, unless you like your fush grilled on the Beach.

Hi KJ & Bush Pie,
Yes we should have gone down this road long ago. We will recover.
We also got our compliance plate replaced with the vans ball weight now =350kg maxium of tow truck. Not before time.
Our van was Quoted with a ball weight @184kg empty.
Loaded with full factory fitted water tanks (Full) Moved forward of front axels and Grey water tank at rear. Fitted with second tyre 283kg with out being informed of weight change.
The old plate read 201kg empty maximum 240kg.ball weight.
Now wonder I went out and brought a Trail A Mate jack. My back will never recover.
