Could I have a set too please?

'bout bleedin' time! We've bean telling you for ever to get it doon to the floor. Stock is so old lady!!! Surprised it didn't fall over before. I think we're at about 1 to 1.5 beans at the mo on ours. Going to whip out the beanometer in the morning to check. Good job that you're at our place...

Hi Mate Have you got any spring clip thingies on your adjusters? Maybe they're missing and the adjusters keep adjusting themselves. Have you lowered it yet? Go on, you know it makes sense!!

Everything worked perfectly ok with the same starter and battery on the old 1600. All that I've done is put in a nice new 1776. That's what leads me to believe it could be the starter that is having trouble turning over the new engine.

Thanks for all the tips. I've checked out all the eletrics, everything is fine. I have the same problem as ginger_nuter, a new 1776 that doesn't turn over quick enough to fire. That's why I'm considering the Hi-torque option. Maybe a new standard starter would possibly be better than my current...

Hi, I'm considering getting a hi-torque starter motor to try and improve starting performance (currently very slow to turnover, regardless of battery used, pants!). Does anyone have any recommendations of supplier and or type? Cheers.

Sold already!!!

Hiya My 1972 Devon interior is for sale on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180254382113 Starting price is £200, buy-it-now is £500. As it says, this is the complete interior, including cushions. It does have a few marks and scrapes, but I belive these could be made...

There's going to be about 12-13 veedubs at least heading over from Dorset with Spirit of Air. Can't wait. I want to go camping now!

Thanks Steve, much appreciated. :D

Of the top your head, does anyone know the size of the studs on the starter motor? I think it's 10mm but I'm not certain. I could go and measure it but I thought I'd just ask you guys first to save me having to jack the bus up. Ta :D

I fitted some MWS polished Empi 5 Mk2's about six weeks ago. They looked great for the first few days. Now that they've done a massive total of 600 miles, they can only be descibred as knackered! :x I washed them regularly, but they've still corroded quite badly. The locking nuts have gone...

Most definitely not! It isn't just a coincidence that it's red stuff flowing through my veins. Born and bred L'pool, in Anfield, on the right side of the park :wink: so no blue blood here. Ah well I guess we'll just have to get our sixth another time then, no rush. It pains me to say it but...

My bus is called the Monkey Bus, which is called that cos I call my hubby Monkey boy on account of him looking quite chimp like, especially when I pull his ears out. :D
