Lots of places in and around Burton, including Newton Solney, Repton, Willington, Melbourne, Ticknall. Relocated here some years back - it's hard work. If you need any advice, happy to chip in like all the others.

Bear with me... I'm already blowing oil all over the engine bay, so... No, don't go there, I need far too much help. Need to do some homework.

Thought long and hard (again) about why it stopped just a few miles from home following nearly 600 miles of trouble-free motoring on holiday. :( Being taken away tomorrow for someone else to answer the "why" question - and fix it.

OK, so that's two options. So, the CB Performance oil breather tower requires connection to the air filter(s) on one/both carbs as well? Yes? Now comes the question which shows why I'm desperate for the newbie mechanics course, but why can't I run a pipe to a standard oil filter fitted remotely?

Holidays permitting, pick me up down the A50 and we'll travel down in convy.

And it'll fit with the twin carbs set-up?

If I'm not on holiday, I'm in. Should give me time to figure out why I'll need a strong liver to deal with sucking air through teeth... :)

1641cc, twin Webers, oil breather on the oil filler neck. It's throwing oil spray everywhere and, while it isn't the end of the world to have to clean up after some trips, surely there has to be an alternative? I'm mistaking oil drips (from the spray) for oil leaks and think I may have assumed a...

It's very comforting to know I'm not the only learner mechanic idiot out there. We may may need a self-help group...

Filled up with petrol ready for the big drive to Cornwall on Saturday.

They were trying to tell you it's: "Betws-y-Coed". :D

Drove back from our first camping trip in the bus. Went to Rutland, had a great time and even had two days when it didn't rain - normal service was resumed with heavy rain from six this morning. Lovin' the bus, really enjoyed camping, can't wait for summer to arrive...

Since you moved the cabin insultaion, my gear change has been pretty darned good.

Thanks - just let me know if you find 'em.

Drove across the East Midlands more times than I can bear to recall. And, on day six of ownership it rained again. A lot. (No offence - but good to see the puddles in Parkgate!) However, I found second gear several times, had several people congratulate me on the bus and two bikers slowed down...

No idea on age of seat but can could recognise right one on a pic.

Sun visor holding clip - not sure it's the right name, but it's the block on the headliner that retains and releases the visor. Is there one out there to fit a 68?

Oh, the romance is already leaving...

Found the elusive second gear a couple of times yesterday. I can't begin to explain how chuffed I was. Went out - briefly- in a "normal" car today and crunched every gear possible.

First successful repair - right indicator not working (front); took bulb out, looked at it, wondered "Where can I get one of those from on a long Bank Holiday?" put it back; it's now working. Brilliant. But still raining.
