[dazmond]

darran payload is 900kg.

ill be filling tank up to 400L most days but will fill up to 500L some days.i reckon ill  be ok first thing with all my other gear(just).

ive got my 350L full to the brim in the back and it hardly feels like ive got any weight in the back.pulls really well!much better than the kangoo!very comfortable to drive and poles fit in with ease!

its like driving a very comfy solid tractor!

Done well to get new cambelt fitted and 4 new tyres for £500. Tyres on my dispatch are over £125 each (michelins).

[CLEANCARE WC]

Dazmond I presume you have always traded under your name? Will you be rebranding?

Would you like to be my first northern franchisee? lol 

[Paul T]

I thought connects had a cam chain that doesn't need changing until 150.000

[brianbarber]

150000 correct
But it's a belt

Just had mine done early at 129k

I thought chains should pretty much last the life of the van, that was the point of a chain?

It is a belt, like it says on the previous post

dd, you dont have to put on michelin tyres, other makes are available, so long as they are the correct load rating. I bought 4 new uniroyal rain expert tyres for my lwb connect, got them on ebay for about £250. A local garage fitted and balanced them for £30.

Daz, i'm not sure i would class spending 2k on poles as doing it on the cheap!

Thats great, i didnt say it wasn't

Previous post said that  150,000 was correct in changing a chain, so i said i thought they lasted the life of the van?

Any more cocky comments?

[Michael Peterson]

dont you tighten the chain, i didnt know you changed them ?

The post before yours says "150000 correct miles but it is a belt"

Then you said "I thought chains should pretty much last the life of the van, that was the point of a chain"

Or did i miss something?

I'm nott going to bother going to the trouble of quoting the whole thread....

Read Paul T's question (chain @150k)
Then read the reply(yes,but....)
Then read my question (chains last forever...?)

At least read the thread before you try sarcasm....

[Simon Mess]

Do you need some Valium?, i think you need to calm down a bit before you burst a blood vessel, this is only a forum after all!.

Now, your comment which i was quoting re the timing chain came about an hour after brianbarber's comment. I did read the thread through, which is why, naturally, i thought your comment a little odd, given the previous one answered your question an hour beforehand. If your comment was not as a response to brianbarber, then you should have quoted whoever s comment it was a response to.

Not sure why you think my comments are cocky or sarcastic, but you accusing me of not reading the thread through, when you clearly hadn't, is a bit rich.
