Dropped off the details on Wednesday. They said they'd ring back - :^o

Better pop over later to get the low down on it, I'll let you know.

I decided to let them put the Transit arches in - looks really nice. (Photos in daytime.) They've also waxoiled the arches, apparently it's standard procedure for them. =D>

Total cost £480, which seems acceptable. :shock:



Not acceptable, though, is the fact my leisure battery was dead when I picked up the van this evening. Recharging it now, but it charges at 2A, which is NOT a good sign. At all. :( I shall be paying them a visit next week and have a word! [-X

Looking forward to the photos. 480 sounds like a good price.

Reckon mine should get through the Summer them I really must get them done.

Here you go - I think the job looks a good'un. (I do, however, need some shinier wheel nuts quite urgently. Any tips?)
