If ever their was a advert not to buy LDVS then RM is,vans that are 2 years old almost ready for scrapheap.The high level of off the rod time and cost of repairs is crazy.
many have problems with back doors ,some with side doors.

And please tell me who thought you could fit 6 regular size posties in a van and all wearing seatbelts.1 advert for LDV possibly deepending on veiws,6 posties in a van +driver means you get to know the posties sitting next to you intimatley physicaly.
Very concerned about the seatbelt situation and CWU DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT.

RM seem to be replacing the LDV vans with Transits at my office, I think thats due to the new duties of 2 in a van, 2 revised walks won't fit in a small van! The Maxus is a pile of cr@p, have lost count the number of times drivers from my office have been locked in the back(including me :evil/mad ), also most of them have had to have the rear doors removed to get the drop bags/parcels out, the workshop must have the removal of the rear doors and replace hinges down to a fine art now with a couple of hours turnaround!
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

No seatbelts then you don't have to travel in the van :Very Happy you can't be made to break the law no matter what your DOM may say.
