Aw Mutts, thank you. Am learning loads...not sure the fixing is as much fun for me, quite like a potter and a tinker but hoping top be there soon :)Virgins are understandably a bit diffident at first Jono, but they soon get a taste for it. Soon there'll be no stopping you.
Before long, you'll get a yearning for a bit of how's your father with a dodgey doofer under the bonnet. ;D
In the mean time, you hoping to find under the Christmas tree. Some of those natty ratchet spanners perhaps?

Right, the bushes adventure has led to this. Puk sits quite low at the back so the puk management board-me, mvm, campernaut and curl all agreed to get suspension sorted by new rear springs. We set a budget of 250 and started the search last year. Very quickly a pair of new unfitted springs turned up on e bay...quick convo and purchased for 100. After 7 months searching i have now found the bushes for these springs are obsolete. We have tried a number of different styles but think there may be a solution to fit a different set suited to a 19mm bolt rather than a 12mm. I still have not found a thread that explains what other members do so i thought i would ask the question...what is the best way to solve issues with an early bottom sag on a transit???

Well, it's been a bit of a summer but with the help, assistance and sponsorship of a great many people, more than I would have hoped for, PUK is nearly almost back. New mirrors, new lights, new engine, new gearbox mountings. Big thank you to all you brilliant sponsors and supporters, me and mine owe you will post some more pics very soon
