Oh woe is me, another slough of despond, those rust spots led to a visit to a body shop, where James spotted a much WORSE problem on the sills. Just to get through the MOT and cure the rust requires thousands of pounds of work. Yes, you read right THOUSANDS.
I had a weekend of soul-searching (and replacement van searching) but in the end decided to go ahead. I can't imagine being without a van, and the overheated market means I could only afford another elderly vehicle which could be just as bad as, or worse than, mine. Plus I love my van's layout, it's perfect for me. Everyone has some weak spot and my money-pit of a van is mine.
So, it's in the workshop again, this time for a month or so, so no December trip this year.
