Maxus Van

Post by khblue »

Hi.
I've just bought a 2007 Maxus Van, ex-Royal Mail. Serviced at Kentish Town, Regis Road, since 2010.
I'd like to get more detailed info about cam chain / filter etc... change timings so that I can keep them up to date.
Who do I contact ?
I also have some very heft keys ( depot keys ?) that someone might like back !
Can someone help please.
Many thanks

Google and a local garage should be able to help you with parts.
As for the depot ( :d'oh! ) keys would it be possible to take them to your nearest sorting office?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The most important bit for me is to get the service record so that I can see what has already been changed and when.
Any contact details for Regis Road depot ? Or a central person who would have access to all fleet vehicle records ?

Thanks

Service record? I don't believe there is such a thing in RM. Vans usually just eventually get fixed when enough postmen refuse to drive them for a fault long-since logged and reported.

I bought an ex RM van once, it was a great workhorse and I had it for many years in a previous job but it was something that had clearly been well-abused, far beyond worrying about its service history at the time.
