there 'dept store' crates 4 off, theres a drill box depth tray beneath these for sliding drills in & standing upright on the floor. there is 2 big 'bass' boxs for the sound up front top.lol followed by 2 large sandwich boxes for talon clips and solvent welds. next there is a gap for bits (wd 40, trv's etc) next near back door is 2 stanley boxes that fit perfect in the space. from the back door right box at bottom are tools, skill saw grinder etc, toilet parts above, drainage, then the weird box of bits. boiler parts on other side, fittings plumbing spares etc.
tool boxs down the middle and in back seat wells behind caging, cock key spirit level saws hoses at the back. multi ladder up in roof on cage and timber rest and the dogalarm.lol
and i can still get a boiler box and 900x450 cylinder down the middle

R

i still wouldnt buy a petrol van!!
L
lame plumber
diesel all the way, but I'd hate to fill a defender on a regular basis, my Vdub costs enough, and I have found it cheaper to buy another small car than let madam run round in my discovery all the time, especially as she keeps bending it.
R

why?????
L
lame plumber
coz if it drinks fuel in the same way as my disco, Id be broke running it as a van, soo greedy.
R
REDSAW
but you cannot off set your fuel bill on your disco can you, unless its the 3rd van in your fleet? what mpg does the vw & connect do? my last one did 25 urban!.
L
lame plumber
dont do urban just country side🙂, in all honesty never bothered to check just fill up as req, and the landy requires filling at least once a week if Im running it in the winter, vw transporter and I can get away with a full tank every 10 days at times. hence why the missus used to have my old kangoo till it drowned, now shes getting the daughters cast off modus (only cast off to me as no one wanted it!!)

i used to put £30 in the transit last year per week and the landy £30-40 but then fuel has gone up and at the end of the day, comes of deductables...best of all i get to use it!. might try running it on chicken fat though and get myself a bio plant.

Quiet day today so sorted the van & the garage out! Put all my tools where they should be & restocked all fittings! I'm a bit anal with things being in their right place, especially as my brother works with me & goes to the van & just throws stuff back wherever!

whats the mallet for?
T
TomLane
It's a frame that goes together to hang the pipe freezer on with the scales so you know how much refrigerant you've got left in a bottle. I've got an Arctic Pipe Freezer.

Nothing exciting or special, just find it easier using a mallet when using wood chisels etc. My brother's a carpenter so if I'm working with him I help chop out for hinges on doors etc.
That tool bag is my general hand tool bag. My plumbing tool kit is next to it on the left in the rigid plastic Stanley box.
That's good. I've just started on my Lidl wet vac (think it's called a Parker??).
Hope it's good. I killed my Wickes one draining the last few litres from a seriously hot thermal store. Poor thing was belching steam, so I'm not suprised.
It was still working but started to trip RCD's a few days later, so I thought best of it, and chucked it.

how much was the wet vac ?

friend of mine always bangs on about them, says he uses it to drain down the system before he alters any pipe work i.e above ceilings an the systems always bone dry
