Try to. I got what I think is a gearbox problem couple weeks ago so engine etc out means I'm probably out of action until spring now.

Nice bus Trev. I'm just down the road in Chelmsford !

What I found with chrome sprays is that they look great but you can't touch the surface or it comes off so I tried a clear lacquer and they went dull grey. I tried several but same result. It turns out (I read at the time anyway) that chrome sprays are made up of lots of tiny metallic bits that...

Finished up the isle of wight, well worth a visit if you can, Osbourne house is a nice visit. Carisbrook castle nice day out too. King Charles I was held there after the little civil war we had and the monarchy was booted out. The camper did great until... 30 miles from home on the M25...

Thanks Mike 👍 reads (post by @67panel ) "from my experiance its only US spec that dont have flash conected,all thats needed is live to terminal 30." That's quite straightforward so I'll do that when I get back and post up the results

Chatting to a guy yesterday who wanted pics of the van. He told me he's here for the annual vfm scooter festival. Turns out this weekend is a huge scooter festival, biggest in Europe, so expecting to see a few (thousand) of them... Music: the beat are playing live tonight. They're (scooters)...

Old thread resurrection. I've often wondered if my old bus could be made to flash, he's a US import so I was pleased I found this old post. I've got a ton of 5 pin relays in the garage, could someone share the wire up. I'm assuming I've got a 4 pin so there's a terminal that's got to be added...

There's always an awful lot more involved than you plan, I built mine, stripped back to a shell and rebuilt as I wanted (mine was a US import and I think a hobo had lived in it), it got me through my annihilation in the courts (divorce) but your project needs to be achievable or you'll lose the...

A few pics of holidays. 1st up went to Skern lodge near appledore, North Devon. Really nice and good price, great for the kids, Westward Ho! is perfect for water activities, surfing etc. Skern do some activities which we took up, Kyacking and surfing lessons for the kids. 6 1/2 hours drive...

Another angle, just throwing ideas out there, I went a bit more minimalist. 2 adults, 2 kids so needed function. Fridge ( coolbox) housed under a day seat, to the right fits a Coleman petrol cooker which we use outside in the awning kitchen area or just outside if it's nice. Without the awning...

Good luck with the build, I put a scooby in mine which has been good.

Daihatsu hijet seats might be worth looking at. Low squab. Fwd and back + recline. I fitted them, got them covered and added extension bar to the driver seat to extend the seat base as I'm tall I wanted longer seats. Low squab means no issues with head room. Cost me £50, used the runners that...

what got me thinking is oil has come on leaps and bounds. Mineral was just the way it was but fully synthetic is really good oil. I always want the best for my dub and better oil is part of it. I read loads of pages , overheating, leaks etc but there's nothing real, you know what it's like...

If this helps as its a real can of worms topic but to keep it simple, the 2 numbers for oil are measurements of thickness. __________________________________________________ The closer to 0, the thinner the oil, the higher the number the thicker the oil. Old engines prefer thicker oil and it...

x2 bilt hamber, I found this stuff a few years ago and really like it/used it ever since. https://bilthamber.com/product/dynax-s50/

Hi, I am building a different off grid setup so I'm selling my excellent 105ah lithium battery at the end of March. When I started with lithium I had a million questions so I'm posting up early so you can ask and decide if it's right for you. Here's a few answers: Yes you can mix lead acid...

Clever paint job

Mattys right, theres only certain lamps you can swap with LED, i think another one to avoid changing is the generator/alt lamp. I can't remember why but it might cause issues if you do. You can buy something that goes inline to fool the car its a normal bulb but whether you feel its really...

Why would you say that assuming he's trying to bait you, quite inflammatory thing to say, not friendly and nothing to do with the post topic. and my earlier post, I was trying to help you, 80amp fuse is not a good route to go but you got narked about that as well. It's all quite hostile...

The post was a big wall of text but I skimmed through and saw 80a fuse? Which might give you a problem Eg your domestic house fuse is 60 or 70. 80a in a car is bonkers. An 80a fuse will need 90 or 100a wire. Starter cable is normally 70 and you don't fuse bigger than the the cable (never...
