Thanks for this Cabson, our Peggy is due for its 3rd year service in the New Year, so will ensure we dont get stung with unnecessary costs. cheers
I'd check with Bailey on this for your model. I don't question Cabson12, but maybe the loss of requirement is specific to the current revised generation of Pegi onwards and your's may well still fall into the need.
Just had it confirmed by Bailey that there is no longer a requirement for the internal torque check to be carried out on the 3rd service on all Alu Tech vans. This information was communicated to all Bailey retailers/ Sevice depots in February 2012. You will just need to have a standard service as the extra time required for the bolt check will not be needed or paid for!
Are they saying ALL Alu-Tec vans, even the original ones or is it just models made after a set date which don't need the bolts re-torquing? I don't see why the original Alu-Tec caravans suddenly stop needing this carried out. I'd have to ask my dealer about this because, how I see it, if a caravan needed this work doing when it was built and nothings been done to alter it, surely it still needs the work.
The work was initially described as precautionary, presumably after examining several they have found it to be unnecessary... and decide to discontinue the practice.
