Welding

[Paul]

Is it just me who has considered welding their accelerator pedal to the floor in their van?

It spends the whole journey there anyway even when i change gear, only downside would be a 6k tickover...

Any more cons? :wtf:

[Steve]

Might be a bit tricky if you get stuck in traffic lol lol lol

[Paul]

Ive thought of that and im good at clutch control so i reckon that wouldnt be a problem lol

[Steve]

For long journeys my leg goes to sleep, I always thought of taking a long piece of wood for motorway use and use that on the throttle.

[brainsnova]

hook the accelerator cable to a manual choke problem solved.

[Paul]

i cant do that cause its got the silly fly by wiring...

[General Baxter]

which van would this be?

[Paul]

fiesta van

[General Baxter]

thats your problem its **** lol

iv got a 2.5 hi torgue movano, allways got 2 ton in the back, i can chase things around our lanes, and will do 110 on the motorway lol

[Paul]

lol the thing is, im not bothered about the speed of it, i justget fed up with having my foot onstantly pushing it down, when it could be welded lol

[Benn]

Pfft my hdi belingo van is awesome, 4k corning... lol

i not its crap but why does it so it lol

[mowgli]

dunno, simply stop pushing at 2800rpm from now on, or start listening to drum n bass to mask the racket

[MK999]

i not its crap but why does it so it lol

my 1.2i used to be the same, high enough up the rev range you could actually pump the accelerator between 1/2 way down to full and it wouldn't even jerk, the exhaust note would just change lol

If they're still using the "puma" codenamed engine in them, they pull from about 1500rpm to about 3k then its time to change up.
