Alex - thanks, great answer, will be filling up every 200 for a while... Trikkie - two great links, thank you. I like the method of having an access panel, good article..... other than you have to remove the fuel tank first to cut the hole, which in itself is an engine out job!!! Made me...

First of all, I've finally got an mot on my van, it's off it's sorn (nice feeling getting the free tax disc!!)...... thank you to all that have helped in my many (daft) technical questions..... but here goes with one more..... .... The only thing on my van which I've not managed to correct is...

Hey - that was the most annoying job I've ever done on my van!! I did it with the roof off (I'd replaced the belows) and dismantled everything (ie taken the old seal out). Aligning the roof to the aluminium outer was a sod!! For me it was a two man job and took around 4 hours of cursing! My...

Good evening all..... Ok, well my 1971 Devon is up for an MOT this week after 3 years of renovation.... My question is, where should I be focusing on in terms of festival / gathering..... I bought my van as an engineering and renovation project (to save me from the tv soaps)....I've never...

.... carrying on the subject on dim lights, got now to the point of knowing what's working and not by swapping a few over (while I wait for my 'mega bus' delivery to arrive).... the blue full beam light is rather dim. I checked voltage of the connections to the bulb and it is showing 10.2...

.... and I only posted this after searching eBay!!! - cheers!

Ok, so I've established that a couple of instrument lights are not working...... can you buy the little plastic holder and bulbs from anywhere, as it looks like the little metal earthing tag is corroded away.... 1971 bay. Thanks in advance...

Cheers guys, that a what I needed some straight forward advice...... think I'll invest in a VDO gauge to match the sender.... if anyone wants a cheap TIM gauge it will be on eBay shortly! Thanks again...... advice more useful than the front wheeled tractor!

..... can anyone help please...... before I go out and buy a VDO gauge that gives me the same problem?....

Hi - there was an oil pressure in my van since I bought it (1971 Devon) but it wasn't wired up..... eventually got round to doing it.... And it's not working - help please! It's an electric oil pressure gauge 0 to 100 psi - make TIM. I fitted a VDO dual sender which works with the idiot light...

Just a big thank you to those that answered my question on curtain track. An area to note for anyone reading this in the future is 'holes at the top'..... bends easy this way..... bends very badly and will make you curse if attempting with holes at bottom! I did it in two pieces with the meet...

Thank you for that - chrome look it is then.... Are there any comments on suitability of: two pack... Powder coated.... Or a DIY spraying??... what results have been had by others befor me?

Decided to have my original wheels blasted and cleaned up (1972 crossover bay - Devon). Would the wheels have just been steel or coloured (white?)..... if steel then after shot blasting how should they be finished? Regards

Thank you for that piece of advice..... have now got one on order. Cheers

Thank-you for your replies... a.) Where should I find the engine code? b.) If it is a type 3 engine, in practical terms what does this mean? - especially is there an oil pressure sender that will fit?

Ok..... well this is my engine: .... with a single carb on it now. Have I got any options now, or is installing an oil pressure switch not possible in this vertival alignment and single carb operation?

Hi..... looking for advice on putting in an oil pressure gauge.... actually the gauge is in, and then came to putting in the new oil pressure sender unit in the engine bay to replace the oil pressure switch - ie this item...

Thank you for the advice.... will try again with the silent gloss aluminium track. Will be doing it in two pieces so will have the join behind the rear view mirror. Just to confirm then that the track will be immediately underneath the sun visors Just above the windscreen and then hence half an...

Hi... nearing the end of my Devon renovation and got to the simple task of fitting the aluminium curtain track..... :evil: .... Ok help please cos I'm getting frustrated and annoyed at my failings!!!.... In particular I'm struggling with the fron two pieces around the bay. My question if...

Hi, I'm putting back together my Devon interior (typical 1971 early bay Devon stuff) and am looking at the Swing Out Cooker and the hinge to the fixed piece of timber to the bulkhead. My question is if a Devon owner could share the specification of the hinge: 1. Guessing it should be a...
