What have you done with your California today?

[portofinopoll]

Went to Liverpool Van Centre, Billy Ocean was having his first MOT & Inspection. All good. I discussed the All-In, 2 Service deal, I plan to sign up when my Warranty expires 29th July.

Unless you’re talking about something different, you may want to hold off until Black Friday in the Autumn. A few of us bought the 2 service deal as a special offer with 20% off the normal price.

What is the pale blue van? Looks like a good setup!

Bought 10 litres of adblu after being told at two places they have run out !
my van is showing 1200 miles Adblu range.
went online to click and collect and guess what:

Edit: Tesco garage had limited stock, Halfords had stock and Aldi had a pallet load

Pitched up at Camping Plus at Weston Park (would have been Camperjam). Some great looking vans here.

GG. Do you have another set up with a drive away option as well ?

We don’t.
We won’t get one unless we start pitching up in one place for a week or more.

I really can’t understand why anyone goes through all the palaver of plastic cartons of AdBlu. Just find a garage with an AdBlu pump. Cheaper. Easier. Greener.

Nearest one to me is on the other side of town, I was also picking 10 litres up for my neighbour ( good deed for the day) so pump was not an option.
believe me I wouldn’t use the plastic bottles if I didn’t need to.

I wonder if there will be supply issue at pumps ?

Edit: the purpose of my post was to highlight there are supply issues with add blue to help others who may need a fill shortly

edit: Collecting chickens some considerable distance from you house is good green practice though

Are garages with adblu pumps willing to fill Jerry cans? Thinking you could bulk buy and store at home, top up when needed.
Spoke to a plumber, with a T6, he said the adblu doesn't last as long as stated in the manual. 3000/tank as opposed to 6000/tank, is this true?

Usage depends on driving style somewhat, when my van was new the range was 6500 miles to a full tank, since update range is approx 4000 miles to a full (13 litre tank) T6.1 has a much much larger Adblue tank with a massively increased adblue range

As a one off, probably yes. No more driving to the supermarket for eggs, and much kitchen waste recycled to eggs. Chicken waste composted and used to grow veggies. A section of a lawn no longer requires mowing.

 

[Kernowboy]

Clucking hell; I thought all the facts of the case had already been laid bare. Attempting to re-open it now is quite eggstraordinary.

 

[andyinluton]

Agreed it’s getting beyond a yolk now.

 

[Perfectos]

I know a lot of you are eggsasperated with all this clucking on, but it’s no yolk.

Bought some this week from local VW car dealership. £12 for 10 litres. I was happy with that. Still cheaper than the local Shell.

A spot of wild camping, somewhere in Scotland.

Camped in it…

Visit to Currys to buy small chest freezer as fridge freezer died. Its good to have a van as no need to wait for delivery. Freezer dead at 11am replacement home and cooling by 2pm. Food all saved.

You should leave it standing to let the gases settle before you switch it on.

Yes I know. I knew someone who say that but it is OK. Currys is very near so I left it for 90mins when home before putting on. Luckily I was already out in the van when my husband spotted the freezer problem so called in Currys on the way home.

Drive camping in Basel after dinner with friends.
