taking care of my truck

[colintandy]

gave the truck a good clean down today took it to a friends yard in corby at high-track and a good old boy called george gave it the heavy duty hot steam clean well worth getting done took some pics  :D

[colintandy]

and then you get this result :D

[Wanderer]

I'd have thought you'd have tucked that exhaust out of the way Colin.
Especially given the competitions you're doing.

[colintandy]

erm, can I just say that if you didnt take it to those awful dirty places, then you wouldnt need to steam clean it now would you  

<it does look nice though, both before and after>

[Colin 009]

Wish I could find one of those ramps round my way. :(

You'll need to waxyole it now as the steam clean would have taken any protection off, I think.

[TUFFTEE]

Colin! Apparently there's one up here somewhere! Nr Heathrow?

[Colin 009]

Nice one Nev, give us a shout if you spot it. :D

[colintandy]

United Airlines Ground Equipment Dept have one at their workshops at Exeter Way (by the aircraft crossing). Unfortunatly they have recently outsourced the dept so there is no one there anymore...

[Jake]

The one near Heathrow is called Jumbo's and are located in Central Way off Faggs Road, Feltham.
(just down the road from where Nev's pub meet is held)
The number is 0208 890 5188.
 :D

[colintandy]

i think that if you talk to some nice trucking firm they would alow you to use most have sets for mot washes ect...like a dealership volvo /scania/ect..you have to ask nicley... :D and if they like your truck they might even take alook at it while its up on the ramps i find carring a 10 pack of the amber nectar   in the rear of motor helps in these cases  :D  :D

[ben_haynes]

might have to go and see him i think looked under it today and i could not see the floor pan ond the body mounts wanted to oil them so they come undone when i fit my body lift when i get round to buying it

A bit far away, but possible...! What exactly is/are Jumbo's?

[Jake]

They are a chassis washing place for trucks and buses.
(They wont MOT a dirty chassis!)
They have 4 massive ramps and are always busy.
Not the nicest looking set up but they do a grand job on the muddy/oily stuff
 :D

[gords]

Do you know if they deal with cars? Or is it lorries / buses only?

[Jake]

They do cars too.
Just phone them first to book.
They're very busy.
 :D
