    oil types

    You should use synthetic oil. Mineral oil shouldn't be used. You haven't bought the correct oil unless it's an old van. Check spec and year

    I've never heard music played in spoons or on bus. Been in news. Can't say I've ever been bothered with audible phone calls. Maybe it's a big city thing?

    Render System Ceiling Overhang

    Forgive. You don't fancy something else? Wood effect ceramic tiles or wood effect cladding. Could just use uPVC planks that interlock. Something you could easily wash down and mop over.
