So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

Hardly frivolous but our old gravity feed boiler & heating system packed up so having a new Worcester combi one fitted this week, should finish today, I needed that bill like a hole in the head! :mad:

But my Missus text yesterday saying that the engineer had used her new Shark vacuum cleaner to clear up o_O, this included rubble :oops:, she was fuming & told me she was going to rip him a new one when she sees him today, I almost feel sorry for him ...... :ROFLMAO:

I would have expected these guys to have their own heavy duty hoover to clear up after themselves? :unsure:
R.I.P Mr heating engineer 😔

I can't view the photos of your van Billy. As it's a 9 speed auto, is it a Merc?

Yes mate it is a Merc, strange that you can't view the photo, they are on my phone so will give it a go in a bit.
They use that gearbox in just about everything in the range Billy. From the little 1.6 petrols to the fire breathing monsters.
Apparently it's massively over engineered.
And as you said, the gear changes are totally seamless. It's almost like driving a huge electric motor.
That SLK myself & Mrs DD looked at this time last year used the same gearbox. I was seriously impressed with how good it was. Autos have definitely come on in leaps and bounds since they were 3 forward & 1 reverse 🙂
