I've hired a small van from a local firm for £25 a day. Much easier than messing around with the family car.
Not had any days off with my connect since getting it over 3yrs ago though.

It will brake down now....

I thought the same thing the moment I clicked "post reply"

turns out it was a small metal pipe, part of the cooling system, it had corroded and split....... Bad news is to get to it they have had to strip down the entire front end of the van....bumper, radiator, power steering pump.... Etc, just to replace a £30 part, I'm going to end up with a £350 to £400 bill..

And I still haven't got the van back, the part is Ment to be coming tomorrow...

Crikey, you might have to start working 5 days a week to pay for it...

regarding the question.
I do not know answer, it is not never happened.
if the van is in warranty,
I go to the dealer and gives me a replacement machine.
if it is not in warranty, my mechanical friend,
She comes to my house with a car
in replacement and goes with my van.
otherwise, the fastest solution is
give fire to the van that does not work.

I do feel like setting fire to it sometimes.!!
You get to a point where I've spent so much on it you have to stick with it, I could spend 4k on another van and have exactly the same problem in 6 months time...... At least I know the things I've done so far...
