  1. I have dealt with three different Fiat (un) Professional workshops, all have subsequently lost their dealerships and good job too! Last year the 'local' Northern Commercials branch, which is a Iveco dealer helped me out.
  2. The Tyresafe calculator has become a joke, input 215/70-15 CP 109, with 2000kg front and 1500kg rear, and it returns 69psi front with a warning it is approaching max, and 80psi rear.
  3. The rules and practices around registering motorhomes have varied over the last few years, in the main it seems to ensure the lowest tax is paid.
  4. Thanks, I'll have a look at it later. We've had a couple of aborted trips to Scandinavia in previous years and it seems each time different schemes for tolls and ferries come up.
  5. What toll tag have you got? we are planning Scandinavian trip of 2 to 3 months and are looking at options.
  6. I don't know about UK, but for the French Crit-Air they use the date on V5c, this meant our Euro4 van got a sticker for Euro5 van.
  7. It's very unlikely to have been weighed at the factory, and even if it was there may well be dealer fitted options. It's best regarded as a guide.
  8. The plate shows it isn't a Maxi chassis, my only guess is that Fiat have decided the auto box needs bigger brakes so have fitted the hubs from the Maxi chassis.
  9. You saw a mild steel can being made and assumed however it was made applied to all similar objects no matter what they are made from, then you have assumed that an object which is not of the same design can be easily made by some similar method with any material, sorry but that's to much assumption. Also you have used bleach in a stainless mug and because you have not noticed any corrosion have assumed there is none, once again an assumption too far. It is a fact that all stainless steels corrode when exposed to bleach, some more than others, but if the exposure is limited there will be limited corrosion to the point where it might be minuscule. It is a fact that certain stainless steels are more suited to certain processes or uses, I don't know for certain what stainless some manufactures might use for sinks, and why they are used, but I wouldn't be calling them 'poor quality stainless', without knowing the facts.
  10. I very much doubt your mug is stamped, it will have been deep drawn.
  11. I would note that stainless is made in many different forms, it may be that to form a deep drawn sink requires a stainless that is more ductile and has less corrosion resistance, this doesn't mean that it is 'poor quality'.
  12. The last time I checked you could get BBC World News, and Sky News, aside from that a few evangelical channels.
  13. I assume they can only recognise what the vehicle is registered as, our van is registered as a Fiat with a body type as Motorhome, from that they wouldn't even know if it was a Ducato.
  14. Last years most reliable van was the Sprinter, most reliable make was Ford, Fiat came in at 10th, bottom of the table.
  15. Fiat have a website devoted to how great the Ducato is as a base for campervans and motorhomes, so using the fact it's a motorhome doesn't wash, although they have tried that tactic before.
