Bastard Van!

dude, the batt should be under warranty.

Ahhh, it doesnt bother me. I've got money to throw away. £60 aint that much, just a hassel cos i was meant to be working.

B.A. Baracas would of made a battery out of something.

Lol. I love the A Team, i made a thread about it ages ago but not many people cared :(

Dirk Benedict was on Celebrity Big Brother in England a couple of weeks ago.

That takes me back to when i was a kid. I'd watch it ALL the time. Loved it. It was a propa lads program lol.

Yep. That is when I watched it. Me and my brother used to slap high 5's to each other all the way through.

I knew what it was straight away, the bloody battery didnt have enough charge, it was the relays ticking. So i had to wait an hour to charge it a little before i could start it, then i left it running for 30 mins and then took it out for a spin for about 15 mins. Came home, checked the batt and it's not holding it's charge. So now i've gotta shell out £60 on a new battery... now that may not seem too bad... but i only had the flaming thing changed 18 months ago.

This van, SUCKS. But, at least i got a day off out of it.

If i wasnt an engineer i would have had to call someone out... and that would have been more of an expence cos im not with the AA or RAC.

Anyway, moan over, my vans pissing me right off today, and i need a new exhaust, but fuck it, im just going to replace part of it myself.

im no mechanic matey but shurly that means the thing in the van that re-charges the battery when the van is moving is not working eh? anyways yeah i knowits like one day my work asks me in an hour earlier for a poxy staff meeting.......then when i get there i find out its cancelled.

I checked the batt myself, trust me... im an engineer, i know what im doing guys... i get paid to do it. The battery wasnt holding a charge, it's nothing new, it's happened plenty of times before on the boats i work on, nothing major, just a dodgy battery. The Engine is in perfect condition, i mean, the van is 10 years + old but the engine is as good as new... thanks to my handywork.

Dont doubt LIP or he will organize an amphibius landing on ur ass (remember he's got a lot of boats at his disposal)

PS i used to watch the A-Team with my grandpa all the time murdock is the man i want a suitcase helicopter for my B-day
