Thanks guys, I'm going to give it a go. I'll give cherished insurance a ring as they were really helpful with the bay this year. I didn't realise there was an MOT exemption cert so I'll find one. I have a dating certificate for the van and a NOVA number so armed with those I shall attempt the...

I had this problem and I nearly ruined my door trying to take the handle out. From memory there are some pins that come out the side of the handle shaft that weren't going in correctly. It's a few years ago now but I remember how frustrated I got. Keep trying the WD40 and try rotating the...

Thanks for the reply. The truth is the vehicle isn't road worthy yet but I would just feel better if it had a reg. The dealer I bought it off gave me a NOVA registration number but no actual paper work so I just wanted to get things through as I hate paperwork and things hanging over me. I'm...

Morning All I appreciate this doesn't fit with early bays but I'm wondering if anyone has imported a pre 1960 vehicle as it's confusing me. I've read the forum posts about registering that fit with EB's but when it comes to pre 1960 you technically don't need an MOT. Does this mean I need to do...

Hi there, I haven't had an early with one fitted but I used to have a late super Viking. Obviously there are two types of Viking and the super Viking in my opinion is great. Chuffing huge with four solid single beds. The only downside is that there is a lot of canvas so it's like sleeping in a...

Did mine this weekend too - larger retaining spring nearly broke me - super fiddly!

Thanks for the reply guys. I think all the cable are ok and the terminals are fine as I regularly disconnect them and leave the battery on charge when not in use. I've got a feeling I may need to fit a relay. I know its been covered before so I might use the search button...... Cheers

Anyone know why the bus wouldn't start this weekend from cold and also once before after a two hour trip. When I jump it from the leisure battery it fires straight up. The main battery is only 12 months old and made by Bosch. It read 12.6v but when I turned the keys the ignition light just...

I'm up the road in Fernhill Heath (outside Worcester). There are two early bays by me but not sure who owns them. There is a company called Kidderminster Campers I believe. I have an advert somewhere out of the font of all knowledge - The Kiddy Shuttle! The add has a picture of a bay on the...

Why not buy a second hand tank from someone like FBI. I did this and paid £60 for a tank that looked NOS.

Me too, Can't go wrong with MK and screwfix down the road

Enjoy! It's the only time in 10 years of marriage the wife has let me stay on the sofa all day and waited on me! The sack looked like an avocado the day after mind - worth it once you get the all clear though Mike

Cool, thanks Rich Wouldn't have been the first time I have broken something that essentially didn't need messing with! Mike

Firstly, I'm sorry as to many this will be a stupid question. When changing my crank/flywheel oil seal I was using a bar across the block face and a lever on that. I slipped and pushed the crank which went in a few mm. It pushed back again by pushing the bottom pully. Is that OK? Its a rebuilt...

Could a worn bearing in the flywheel gland nut cause the input shaft to flap around a bit and oil get passed the seal? Just a thought
