Calorific - really - what kind of a complete **** would try to install a washing machine into a van? Really? My question asked ..blah blah blah FIT .. as in can you fit it in - not ****ing install it in - how mental would that be?? This is getting ridiculous. Apology accepted. I just...

No, I was going to make dinner .. not that it's any of your business. Banned? I don't suffer fools gladly - and too keen to make that known - go figure - there are many fools out there! I await with trepidation my first infraction for using an asterix repeatedly.. :roll:

Dan - "And" - very fair comment - same goes for "But" .. not exactly checking my replies when responding to a bunch of hostile apparently clique members ... I salute your knowledge of English, grammar and stuff. The semi-colon was wrong though. Simple as that.

De-stressing is fine, and understandable ... simply taking the **** at what you perceive to be a newbie (assumed) is .. well, I guess that's your bag. It isn't mine. Have been an active member on 3 other forums and been banned from all (for fair enough reasons) - so use this forum strictly for...

Dan - semi-colon? Really? Calorific .. get a life chap - do you live on here? Agreed - I'm here also at nearly 1am on a Saturday morning .. first time at computer for a week - why? have had a life and work for previous week! Night night, girls..

What is there to misunderstand? English is your native language, yes? I also work as a proof-reader - my English, prose, etc, is impeccable! Certainly way more than your average plumber .. and this WAS the best place for this comment/topic/question. FFS, made the topic title and the OP as...

Yeah, that's polite. Troll? I asked a perfectly reasonable question! Do you have a van the same as described? Have you got a washing machine in it? Could you fit it in the right way up? Then all I get is "do you mean a top loader?" "do you plan on plumbing it into the van" and so on...

You either stick it in the back of the van upright, or on it's side, back or front. Preferable to transport upright if you don't have the transit bolts. Would you like a crayon drawing?

Some people can't read the original post! "Washing machine is 85cm high" It's my van, it was in for a service, it's back now, I used my tape measure, in my Chelsea Blue shell suit, and the perfectly obvious question is now answered, no thanks to anyone here. Perhaps I should have posted...

And who's more likely to have come across this problem before and therefore know the answer? A plumber, or ...?? Thanks for the "help", next time I'll just ask the first random **** in the street, probably be just as useful. Vertical clearance is 800mm, should anybody stray across this...

Hi, I have a new style (2007) Astravan, need to know if you can fit a washing machine in it upright .. Washing machine is 85cm high - as far as I can tell the max load height is 900mm for the van, but I assume that's the height once you've got it inside, not the height of the rear opening...

andrehourly chap - the OP was well over a year ago - one suspects you missed the point of my post - admittedly on a 'dead' thread .. but I doubt the OP will be back to acknowldege your reply..

Am I the only one that misses Softus? <You're not otherwise known as 'Cavalier' are you?>

Customer has now seen sense, based on the arguments above - so, thanks for all the (sensible) replies. Algas - I have satisfied customers, repeat business and recommendations. I also sleep at night. I'd suggest you try it, if you follow your own advice, that is.

Thanks for replies. Whether machine will be touching or just tight - will verify this at the weekend - as I say, was hoping some regulations would preclude the need for that. I'll try the manufacturer's Instr's route ... that'll do me. I can see why the previous plumber let him down...
