Thanks to everyone who responded - via the forum or direct on the phone. And thanks to some carefully placed cable ties and a complete disregard for new noise levels, we made it to Kent and from there back to the Midlands yesterday. Possibly the cheapest loud kit on the market.
Currently on way to Maidstone and have lost tail pipe and got damage to box - a long way from home, anyone know anywhere in the area we could get one and get it fitted.....thanks in anticipation. Delilah.please call 07972 001246
New petrol cap arrived Thursday - and solved the problem. Until today when, at the end of a long journey we went to fill up, and the new cap failed. Won't lock/stay on. So that's going back tomorrow. Sigh.
Can I... finish work on time, pack the bus, start it, fill up with petrol, drive from South Derbyshire up the M1, M18 and A1 and reach Darlington in time to watch the start of the Olympic opening ceremony? Or should I have started last Tuesday?
Exactly what happened with mine - have gone for a different make and will see how that goes. Cured (maybe disguised) the smell of petrol in the garage - started drying a season's garlic from the allotment...
This I can confirm. And it doesn't take much time. I started a similar thread a few weeks back (thanks for all the advice) and I think I'm going to have to take one of the suggested options. The Bug Pack set-up (to both carbs) looks neat, I just need to confirm if the filler neck is stock or...
I'm beginning to think I have the same problem - there's a smell of petrol around the bus (especially near the filler area) even when it's standing in the garage. There are no leaks anywhere on the system. Not long after the bus was on the road, I had to put the seal back on the petrol filler...
I think a beetle silencer or stock bus one is about as tucked away as they get. I've just replaced my 4:1/silencer with a beetle one - I like the twin pipes - better breathing and they sound good.
Can you recommend one?
Read this thread before the van was on the road and thought it funny; after six weeks on the road I now recognise it as hilarious. :lol: :lol: And very familiar...
Can't tell from the pic but clutch developed some sideways movement while we were on holiday. When the movement became significant it required a quick pit stop. Garage mechanic replaced bolts (which had become loose) and recommended either nylon replacements or a tack weld for added peace of...
Took a trip to North Wales to pick up a 42-year-old, six-and-a-half foot cactus. M6 was a nightmare but who else can claim this road trip?! Pictures to follow (once I've removed all the cactus spines).
