    Powr Touch motor mover

    I have just had a Reich fitted to my van. The idea of inboard gearboxes and motors, together with the quality of construction really appealed. Have had the Powr Touch on my previous van, thought it was a little slow when in operation, the Reich seems to be a bit faster. Each to their own...

    Light Fingered B's

    STOLEN VAN - OXON/WILTS BORDER

    Can I just thank everyone who have replied to my post. I have the Loss Adjuster coming round this week to sort things out.
