Default THANK YOU MR KARL NORRIS

4 weeks almost without a VAN , but very well worth it in every respect.

the old loom was shagged , totally, it was wired up perm live , the g box was fooked , karl said he was very suprised it held itself together , the clutch was slipping badly & also was replaced , and had a mk 5 modification also , lots of other horrible nasty jobs too, things kept going wrong for ages,there was also an impoosible to find oil leak....... but at the end of the day , its all done now , and drives like a totally diferent VAN , its like brand new , and omg it flies now , not as quick as some out there , but deffo a LOT better , i drove over 140 miles home , and i wasnt driving like miss daisy lol and still it cost well under 15 pounds in juice, ALL my problems are gone , the car is perfect and id like to say a massive thanks to karl, olly, and dingy , what a blinding team they make



the only thing that caught me and them out was the puncture this morning , meaning i have to pay for a tyre that i didnt have the money for ......but still , even though i was already half way there , it was all done and ready when i arrived

all the best in the NEW WORKSHOP lads.....

if anyones wondering.....18 psi on cossie management
