Re: I've just bought a van...

UPDATE: Tom has been treated to a lots of new metal. He passed his MOT Today, so that means I can get stuck into sorting the bodywork blemishes, windscreen rubber, leaking quarter lights, major service, engine tune up and Interior.

Re: Strange banging/clanking sound. Help ?
