Hi all I have a 1600tp which has recently had an engine rebuild. It’s running well, but it seems to be geared really low. It won’t go above 60mph and at that speed it’s revving fast and is noisy. I’ve had three 1600 bay windows before, and this definitely doesn’t seem normal. The chap that did...

Please phone me on the number I sent you in my first Private message. I'm not sure if my subsequent private messages have sent as they are in my outbox but not my sent items folder!? Thanks, Richard

Hello. Very beautiful. I'll send you a PM - Very interested, price dependent. Thanks. Richard.

Also, is it a Dormobile or a Devon? In another thread, you said it's a dormolible.

Hi. Does it have a poptop? Hanks. Rich

Sold!

It is lowered, but on adjusters so can be put back to normal height in minutes! Anyway, no problem- I think it's sold anyway- the guy is picking up tomorrow. Richard

Ah well it also failed on: Handbrake needs adjusting as at end of travel. Headlight not aiming correctly. Wiper blades Small bit of welding. But all those are manageable! Thanks for your help. The whole thing looks pretty rusted up so I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it very...

OK just had a look. The problem is that there's too much play in the idler pin (apparently) though I don't think it's too bad. He has chalked the L shaped metal thing (don't know what thats called), and there's a pin that attaches this to the lower axle beam. I see on the link above that there's...

Van failed on the steering having too much free play, but the guy reckoned that the 'steering idler' is worn. I don't really understand what this is and what is involved with repairing/replacing it. The guy has never worked on a camper before. Any ideas would be great as I'd like to try and do...

Thanks- I have got it back now!
