I am still using a driveway frame tent from JK. 15 years old, has stood up well in many storms. Very stable. You can hang an inner 2 man tent or have large enclosed space. Two sides roll up plus the drive away side. Has a short porch on the front side which helps keep the rain off. It's...

Thanks everyone for your input. Work begins on Saturday! Shame as my carbs are running sweet since a recent rolling road tune up, will try hard not to mess up the mixtures. I already have an electric fuel pump, a fuel cut off solenoid sounds like a good idea, but would hide the issue. But it is...

Hello all, I noticed a very high oil level in my 1776 with twin weber 40 IDF. Carbs fitted late 2017 so not very old! Purchased from CoolAir. The oil had a very strong smell of petrol, did an oil change checked the levels all good. Took the van out for a shake down all fine, levels all good...

It's disturbing just how quickly E10 dissolves fuel lines. I try to buy E5 when ever I can especially if the van is going to be sat for awhile and only use E10 on a long run. I considered replacing the lines in the noisy cupboard with copper. My end of season to do list is getting long.

Humm, have you checked the voltage when you rev it? I have had problems in the past with an alternator which worked most of the time. Load does make a difference. Made it look like a problem with the coil. Hitting it with a hammer got me home from Cornwall. I have a 123 also, I have found...

Mine is the same as Warren, ignition on it charging else its isolated. I agree with creationblue deduction :-) . I do need to up-rate mine a little as the drain on my LB exceeds the charging capacity. But then I have a stupid amp, capacitors and subs.. What I would say about battery chargers, I...

Litesteer was straight forward to fit and works great. I have not found it to be bulky. What I would say is the ECU is mounted so any moisture will collect in it so bag it up! I did fit a new (refurbished) steering box first. Makes leaving a Cornish parking space a lot easier!

Gas works for me when camping without hookup, well when we could still get the 15Kg bottles.. Unless its a very hot day I can still make ice. I tend to chill the beer cooling device on the driveway on Mains before heading off. Lots of Beer and freezer blocks help keep things cool while on...

I have never had one, its on the list for the next non stock engine. I was worried about driving mine in the 40oC heat last year on a long run back from Ireland. Fine when moving, but when the motorway grinds to a stop my imagination takes over. I guess some considerations: a little more...

My engine bay is not colour coordinated. ;-) But I have used High Temp paint on the tinware near the really hot parts, anything else just does not last. If you are using a rattle can, put the can in a bucket of really hot water. Helps mix the paint, better adhesion and more force for better...

Afternoon all, Somehow I have ended up with odd indicator housing on the front, one has a separate contact for the hazard light (Passenger side) the other does not (drivers side). At the moment I carry an extra bulb and while it's not causing a problem it's kind of bugging me. It's a 73 Bay...

In the dim distant past I had a new screen fitted by autoglass, must have been an insurance job. Anyway it took two of them to fit it, I now know that was because they needed to force it into place. I did not know any different, but my wipers no longer have full contact with the screen. Years...

I purchased one from Just Kampers, was collection only! Fitted well and a lot easer to see through than the scratched one! If I have not been in a rush I might have purchased a heated one, I don't know if the heater elements are visible but would be nice to see out properly in the winter.

Body work! I have tried and while it looks good initially, fast forward 5 years and its look crap, the body work done by a professional lasts a lot longer. I will give most mechanical and electrical jobs a go. I have not touched the gearbox or linkage, this is a mystery to me. But that is on the...

I experienced something similar on my previous engine, turned out the oil cooler had worked loose, simple fix once the engine was out...

No complaints about the sound quality. I run an amp to power 4 6x9. Only one RCA output (front) which is annoying. But my amp has a bridge. I have purchased a sub which I wanted to fit today, but apparently I need to visit a Christmas market.. so the sub will have to wait.

I went with one from classiccarstereo.co.uk. works ok, watch out for the DAB aerial connectors, they are not all the same. I used an inline thing that is supposed to allow you to use an FM aerial for DAB but so far does not work..presently using a mag mount WiFi aerial..

I had a similar issue with mine when I was setting up dual carbs and a 123Tune. Mine was solved using the Tune and reducing the Ignition advance at low RPM, still takes a bit of cranking when hot (2-3 seconds), but starts. Starts great when cold.. I could probably improve the hot start using...

A TV Lift motor! :-) Please attach a pic of your interior.

Nothing to do with the Electrics, but Calor has done a recall on 4.5Kg gas bottles. No one has any stock.. So at the moment I am dependent on a hook up for cold beer and ice for the sundowners. I am not sure what to do about the gas. I could switch to another provider, but they have a different...
