What Has Your Van Done To You Today?

Not recent , but I cut a hole in the floor of ours for the gas drop vent, and once done, told my son to be careful as there would be sharp jagged edges until I filed it back. My words were “and I will just check how sharp the edges are”. He thought the swearing and blood that ensued was hilarious.

This was taken a couple of months after the thin metal shield behind the brake disk attacked my hand as it was holding a hammer.
Just the usual Stanley related incident, turns out trimfix makes a decent plaster too.
Oh, that’s sharp! Very good!
Worse than all the above, I put my brew down whilst changing thee arb bushes, turned round and kicked it over! Absolute nightmare 
Stuck an uprated weight plate to the outside of the drivers door pillar (sorry if the terminology is wrong!) which now gives my T28 an increased all up weight limit of 3000 Kgs:
As I've reported elsewhere on here, dealing with SV Tech for the assessment work and issue of the new weight plate went very smoothly. However, I wish that I could say the same about my dealings with DVLA to get my V5C amended. They sent the new one in the end but managed to take almost 3 months from my application to do it. Even taking account of problems presented by Covid, that's pee poor service.

Nothing at all but I might have had it easy because the Devonport wheels and tyres on my T28 came off a brand new T32 and were rated as such. I really don't know what the outcome would have been had I still had the original Claytons on it as I don't know their ratings but the rest of the van is apparently well up to the extra 200Kgs.
That made me giggle.............but, thinking about it again, it was probably the best thing........clean dressing on a fresh wound, allowed you to continue without your van looking like a butcher's shop, kept the crud out of the wound and came off easily when you were done (I hope!)
