    fire suppression systems

    After a lot of reading I haven't heard of an instance where one has gone off and put out a fire. They wouldn't be large enough to put out a persistent fire. I fitted a Firetec in the hope that it will give me extra time to get out. Replace fuel filler hose, fuel hoses and add a fuel cut off...

    Track Rod replacement

    On the left fixed track rod, you can see a horizontal white line between the rod end and the crack ends where that cable is in the background. Yeah the alignment is tricky because my driver's seat is sitting at an angle so keeping the steering wheel straight might feel odd. Just ordered a...

    Track Rod replacement

    Discovered today that I have a cracked near-side track rod. Looks like it might have been over tightened. It also looks as if it is a different length to the right hand side and is a different style. I have a standard stock set up so what length should that track rod be and what part am I...

    Wee White Westy

    Sneaked in a trip to Cliff House Camp Site near Dunwich on the Suffolk coast. If you saw this site's website you'd run a mile, but it's a great site if you want to camp in woodland, with a beach on it and a bar full of Adnam's ale! A few splitscreens drove in, and a few other newer campers...

    does anyone know who bought MCJ's spare U-haul box ?

    What are the odds of getting one though? They look something which were rented and returned, any boxes 'lying about' must be stolen!

    Bus values 'through the roof'? really?

    That's probably why you don't see them on the road, they are valuable museum pieces. You see it in the classifieds, baby on the way, we can't justify owning it any more. The camper is perfect for a young child, we have a three year old, I took her to outdoor pools, got her changed in the van...

    Bus values 'through the roof'? really?

    We were having a chat with a couple who bought a T5 camper and I reckoned it would be easier to sell their camper in 25 years time compared to ours. Many buy our model because they remember it from our childhood, but when the kids of today grow up and can afford something, they will remember the...

    Standard Pop top westy height

    I was just looking at this a second ago wondering if I get can underneath those beach barriers. 80,12 inches for a westy, 76,38 inches for a tin top.

    Lite steer - Fanbloodytastic !!!!

    Once you pull apart steering, horns stop working. Mine doesn't work despite best efforts and a few other mechanic's horns don't work either! I had a late bay steering box installed, but it is still heavy when parking. Might be worth giving them a call, but I can live with it.

    Show me your exhaust system

    This is my Bluebird with a 1776, the website states up to 1600, but when I spoke to him he says that a 1776 will work great. I like mine although I had to wait months. They are made in batches when enough orders come in, so check actual date before ordering. I imagine a lot of people will say...
