Problem with Bipper Vans?

Post by alloria »

I have noticed in a few of our new Bipper vans that the indicator lever does not seem to work right. The indicator lights sometimes still continue to flash after the lever is returned to the centre position. Has anybody else noticed this?

They were originally purchased for park&loop.
The problem with the size didn't become apparent until after deployment,that is when the advice to use them for single van duties was relayed to management....by which time we had over 40 of them.
So....what they are now supposed to be used for is immaterial.

Small vans seems odd when you think RMl are telling us letter mail is down and packet mail is up.

Don't do that to him, you will cause his two brain cells to overheat and fizz out thinking that one out :Very Happy
