Friendly mechanic had a good poke about. He said it's rather solid under there.

Not tonight. I was asked why I was at Tesco's as they monitored me for ten minutes and I didnt leave the van. I told them I had been in tesco and was in van eating crisps. I was then asked why was the van registered in belper but I live in somercotes. I replied with newly purchased vehicle last night. Asked for license told them I didnt have walket on me. Asked who I was insured with so I told them. He told me to go home with just a talking to but apparently my van is now noted as being used in non essential travel so I expect to be stopped again and can see a complaint for police harassment going in if it happens frequently.

Your van doesn't need noting, it's a Berlingo!

They're like the Punto of the van world.

It's not happened yet but I do watch the local dashcam vids on youtube. Not been spotted on there yet either. Have made it in tv with my old eacort smash though!

A and b are same as always been. C and d have been replaced with s and n so structural and non structural. Cat B I believe is salvage only.
