Sorry not going to pull any punches here with vans being much heavier and modern materials being a vast improvement on old I believe it to be poor manufacture & design by companies that don;t give a damn about their customers. With new vans costing anything from 15,000 to over 20,000 where else would you except the amount of structural failure that seems to be rife in the industry

Hi romany, agree there, there are so many products out there that are made to last a few years, then need to be replaced, it may be the same with vans built in flaws in the design, so you change your van every 6 to 10 years, like some washing machine manufacturers, guaranteed for 5 years, totally knackered by year 6, and so expensive to repair, result cheaper to buy new washing machine, thus ensuring they have a constant market for their product, little rant over.

Micheal, from memory the adhesive leaked but had gone so hard that the panel could not come off undamaged.
