I have a maypole and it is fantastic 👍

Thanks everyone, I’ve gone with alu at 16 euro each x 8 instead of the plastic at 6. The mechanic swears by the plastic ones but aesthetically Id prefer the ALU

Thanks bud - buying the flexis as apparently they are easier to fit and better in the long run

My mechanic who definitely knows what he is talking about swears by the adjustable plastic ones. They are a third of the price of the aluminium Aesthetically they are not as pleasing on the eye but any other thoughts everyone? This forum has been great for my van woes, based on all this one...

Thanks gasman

Can anyone send a pic of the deflector so I can ask this cowboy if he has them? Is it absolutely essential that they are in place? Thanks

Thanks Mike, he’s coming out tomorrow but given that he’s left it like this I don’t hold out much hope 😞

I’ll keep your contact for next time bud, all sorted now but thanks very much! Any links for clubs over here in Spain, doesn’t seem to be much of a scene down here in Andalucía

Thanks sparkywig - I’ve sent a message to @Clem

I'm in Spain and all of the insurance companies are requesting a valuation before insuring. I'm stuck without insurance until i can provide one and this worries me as the van is in for repair with a mechanic I've never used before! (long story!) The insurance company have simply requested a...
