Well more of a rant/therapy corner this one.
Van got attacked again by a rogue puddle this morning lurking in the dark. Second time in three weeks and yep you guessed it the ‘under’ engineered undertray is damaged and will need replacing £££
It only got replaced two weeks ago.
I know slow down you say. I hear you. But when it’s dark these things have a tendency to appear out of nowhere and even at 20 mph there’s little time to react. After 30+ years of driving this is the ONLY vehicle I’ve ever had undertray issues with.
There’s a lot to be said about over designing and engineering things for longevity. But profit and ‘that will do’ have been the name of the game for years now.
Now i just need to find a Coline Furze type local to design a proper undertray for me!
Careful all, the puddles love our vans, like flies to s**t.
