Moved the shed back 4 foot, can now get the van out under its own steam, reversed it up the back lane and drove it back down - it started leaking water near the back wheel header tank was empty so something else wants fixing LOL



Also had my first little crash in it, reversed into my garden fence thinking it could still be level with the shedConfused Fence fell down, Vans like a tank
