The problem with closing the blinds Gordon is i think it has the springs under tension all the time and will weaken them thats why i done shut the blinds.

I always keep them closed especially in the winter

I always close them. I think that over time light fades furnishings,

It’s booked in for Wednesday morning, it should be ok, I have given it a once over and cannot find anything obvious,
And it is only a few weeks since I had all the brakes stripped down as I had a sticking brake pad that was squealing,and changed a faulty abs sensor, then I fit the air suspension, so I have spent quite a bit of time under the van recently,
Emissions should be ok as the inside of the exhaust is clean enough to eat your dinner from, so the dpf is doing its job.

I always closed mine when not in use for the same reason

We always close the blinds to help protect the interior furnishings.

Looking around the storage yard, everyone else seems to do the same.

Depends if anyone wants to watch

 

[PeteS]

I pull the curtains..... I worry the blinds will cease to function if closed for long periods

 

[barryd]

Never, Always the last to close them when in the van as well. I hate sitting in a van with the blinds down.

 

[Jenrai]

Nope

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I close them for privacy most of the time, not bothered when at home if we've tidied the van which normally takes a week or so before I get around to it.

How did the mot go?

Sailed through with no advisories, not even a mention of the dodgy air suspension

The price of air suspension parts is over inflated.

Doesn't that give you a rough ride...

I’ve always been undecided about this , we face south so any winter sun warms the van a bit and my cab seats are faded anyway and I lay the back cushions on top of the seating to keep them from touching the walls .
