They're being airfreighted in, so should be OK. I think@Rudy has a spare few if you need them, he's always burning them out, as he refuses to lube them up and always goes on dry, which as you know can put unnecessary strain on the thrust charge capacitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said though, Brexit is a minimal party of this issue, the main problem is COVID-19 restrictions in the ports, and seasonal volume. I wonder if it’s due to where the goods originate then?

That's what vauxhall said to me about that van. Production abroad is well down because of the virus. All these social distancing measures etc must place some level of restriction on production lines all over the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Interesting that the eu have published a paper proposing some continuity in face of a no deal. According to the bbc barnier didn’t want this releasing for the past few weeks as could be seen as a weakness. But their hand has been forced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs do look a bit prohibitive, but with grants and diesel savings I was looking at the possibility. The new vauxhall van was the first which seemed to fit into my size/range requirements. Others coming soon, so will wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
