    2023 Bailey damp already !

    Thanks for that ...the faults in the ceiling were reported on collection but even if they were noted the company is in administration so they would be hard to find if at all possible. I really don't want to get into a lengthy legal battle but having said that I won't roll over that easily! I am...

    I have now spoken to the finance company and they say that it's up to me/Ncc engineer to prove that the faults were there at point of sale if they are going to get involved for a refund. Not quite sure how you could prove this on a 1 year old van and seeing that the dealer has gone. I am hoping...

    When I looked underneath after rain there is a constant dripping of water from this point in the corner ...I assume this is normal ? As you can see the floor is getting a soaking and I can feel soft spots in wood which is in line with the inspection

    The van was serviced by an Ncc workshop and they flagged the problems up and after speaking to Bailey took it to my nearest Bailey Approved repairer and they did a report and submitted it to Bailey ...they then requested the van back for repair

    Bailey have confirmed that they are taking the van back to repair late Sept and we can use it until then...I had a look underneath and after two days stationary the edges of the floor underneath are still very wet ...is this normal ?

    Thanks Buckman I think Bailey will want at least one attempt to repair but yes it will alway be there lurking in the back of my mind . When we had the Lunar I had a toolbox full of every conceivable tool as there was alway something to fix every vist ! The van will be inspected with a fine...

    Thanks ...I have contacted Bailey direct to see if we can still use the van without invalidating the warranty...if not then I will be pushing for a refund or at least a replacement van !

    Yes total agree with that ...just found out that it's going back to the factory...but not until the end of August!! Thoughts whether we should just park it up or continue to use it ??

    I have lost faith in the van already to be honest. The finance company are saying that we/engineers would have to prove that the faults where there from new etc! We did point out the bubbles on the ceiling ( they were faint on collection) ....apparently they dealer made a note of it but now they...

    Ah ok thanks ...I have emailed the finance company to see what they say . Tbh I have lost faith in uk built vans now and wish I had gone for an Adria or the like as according to the engineer that looked at our van , they hardly see them for damp issues .
