I'm on an Alco chassis so different to yours, just had a google & found 1 heavy duty sping on Ebay £305 a pop, but naff photo looking at it, it's showing 2 leafs i would have thought it would have 3 but there you go. Some manufacturers paint code their springs with red, blue or yellow blobs/stripes which denotes standard or heavy duty DONT let Martin jack the van up to look, if it's not obvious leave it.
Were still waiting for Brownhills to return our call over our mattress ordered in September then again in January then again while at Newark show the dead line is 5pm tomorrow. Karens not one to mess with, so the big guns will come out once again & she'll argue for half a tank of diesel as compo as it's a 180 mile round trip. Failing that we will go buy one & bill them for it, she will get her way

Don't know if my internal lights work in transit,I sit up front!!
My top marker lights work now the nice man from Autocruise came and connected them!
My alloys are a dream now they have been replaced but my tachograph has not been recalled yet......bet you have not got one of those......they are just for special people!
Errrm I was going to put one of them Oyster thingies on the roof?
If my roof will take the strain!
I have not tried the bike rack yet,that will be the next thing that falls off!
