    hard starting when warm

    I’ll second that. One of the very best mods to do to your vehicle. It could also be a sign that your ignition switch is nearing its end. The hot start relay may save it for quite a few years but the replacements aren’t filling anyone with confidence. Is yours hydraulic tappets ...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    Looks real nice, and it looks like you did a much better job of organising your weather than we did at Busfest. Not really sure but I got a funny itchy feeling between my toes so I might just be getting some webbed feet. It wasn’t too bad in all honesty but not as nice as yours looks. As far as...

    New member with a new bus

    There is an event section on here that we mostly blurb where we’re going or doing. Like I said, I have one on the twentieth up at Lutterworth, a very chilled out affair but not much going on for the family and there’s a Chrimbo Cruise in Bristol and Somerset but I’ll bet there’s stuff happening...

    New member with a new bus

    Nice one Trev, glad you’ve joined us. We seem to be nearing the end of the show ‘season’ right now. Not too sure what’s happening over your side of our little world but over on the West coast there’s a VW camp out almost as far west as you can go at Weobly Castle on the Gower I believe that’s...

    1969 Portugese Panel Van

    Be interesting to know where you’re going with the engine considering the influences you might get from these two well known individuals. So the possibilities are endless. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,, Looks a great team for sure :)

    Splify 67 built uk panel resto

    Maybe you’ve left that battery flat a once or twice too many times. They really don’t like being totally discharged especially for a long while, as you already know. I’d try a capful of fresh down the carb just as a little encouragement to get him flowing and firing up, once he’s fired he’ll run...

    How long have you had your bus?

    Oh,, the original post of how long ? I’m not really very good with time I’m afraid but not as long as you’ve had yours I know that. Guessing only I’m thinking somewhere in the region of fifteen years, maybe a bit more and maybe a bit less but thereabouts. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,I’ll find my log book...

    How long have you had your bus?

    Won’t be long and we’ll be trying to organise some sort of 60 years of bays type of meet up and gathering somewhere. The fifty year thingy that Graham organised was an absolute pearler with busses coming from all over the place. It’ll be here like tomorrow or soon as you blink the way that time...

    Busfest

    Different type of slow bud, they’re going steady as told to them by their other halfs so they don’t damage their crockery with pictures of splitties on, they’d be in deep shtoock if any of their ‘rare’ plates got smashed. Bays are a tad different as in slightly down on ponies in them noisy...

    Sliding door rubs on rear wheel arch

    Great, and thanks for that. I’m wondering what could be the thinnest thing you could fit, I’m coming up with 3mm foamex as thin / light / cheap. It’s white and the green is just a protective layer like cling film. :) Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,I used loads of it for ceilings etc. :)

    Front camber

    It’s so long ago that I messed with this stuff. But I remember the concentric nut and I’d marked it and I can’t remember if the mark had to be towards the outside of the vehicle, I’m pretty sure it was. When I had it apart, both the concentric thingys had marks in them that you could see fairly...

    CB Radio

    Don’t key the microphone once it’s wired up until you’ve set the antenna properly. VSWR needs to be set really. A lot of the newer stuff claims it’s pre set and that’s as may be but I’m old and I’d still check it first. Never use / key the mike without the antenna connected either bud...

    Front camber

    Might be right and might be wrong but I’ve only ever set my camber to max and my toe in for the wheel alignment is one or two mill but no more. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,and that’s fine :)

    CB Radio

    Don’t key the Mike until you’ve checked / set your VSWR mate. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,I’ll do it for you if you like, just listen for a bit maybe :)

    Then you will be seriously lost as I only drink bottles. Pop me a text in case I don’t have your number and I’ll text you as soon as we sober up on Saturday. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, Or Sunday. :)

    Chrome spray

    A couple of years back, one of my pals was going bananas about this different product but I haven’t seen him much to catch up with him. He was using chromed effect sticky back plastic for a few different things like light fittings etc. You can buy it in sheets like you buy paper. The other thing...
