...I struggled to clear one I bought on Ebay. I got refund when proved it was blocked but still spent hours trying to unblock it - various chemicals/petrol, very stiff wire in drill etc etc . Nothing worked for me. In the end pretty much gave up, but last ditch attempt was to chuck on very...

No - but they are cool to the touch. The constant vaporising of the fuel does have cooling effect, (like aerosol). The smaller tubes on the manifold are meant to divert exhaust heat to under the carb to keep it warm and prevent icing, and these do get blocked with soot. Maybe your's is blocked...

I'll check the exhaust, but is it anything to worry about - I can live with it, unless it's advance warning of something worse to come....

Is this normal. After years of running well the bus has started back firing when taking foot off gas and coasting in gear to slow down. Doing research it seems an air leak is most likely culprit.... I have checked tappets and points - they were OK. Before I attack the carb (never done...

...things do seem really complicated with this old analogue technology, my fuel gauge swings wildly at certainly times, and looking at how they work it's baffling (heaters & vibrators!). Needless to say it still swings madly,

Thanks Sparkywig Yeah I follow the logic, and have been considering hot start relay to preserve my ignition switch, but don't really understand how it can be temperature related, the circuit should not be getting that hot hot start relay - a project for the winter...

Anyone come across this... I have a relative new battery that is fully charged. The bus always starts immediately when cold, and the starter motor turns engine at normal cranking speed. However - when engine is hot, if I stop and start the starter motor can hardly turn the engine, feels like...

don't think it can be right - cos it means your leisure battery is probably doing nothing even if connected... ...and you would potentially drain your starter battery with fridge/lights and leave yourself stranded, which is one of the reasons for having a LB in the first place. I don't think...

I always wondered what that little brown connector was for.... Roof warning is bulb on far left next to cigarette lighter sensor switch ...neither of which function atm - we tend to use the public to remind us, the few times we've pulled away with the roof up....

I contacted them - it sold immediately...

..I had similar problem and it was the slave cylinder, wheel spun freely when cool, but binded after a few miles So when I jacked the wheel up it spun freely (had time to cool), but after a few miles wheel got very hot (smelled smoke in cab). New slave cylinder sorted, when playing with the...

...if on the other hand you mean the hammocks themselves, I bought some from "Proud to Pop". The picture of them on website looked great but when they arrived they were made of some modern vinyl plastic material, whereas the originals were canvas/cotton. Before I ordered I went to a local...

.....This is the quality from Transcend... Footage shows what happens when you drive through a car park height limiter with a bike on a roof carrier! I was hoping to see more and at least get £250 from You've Been Framed, to maybe part cover the costs of bike/car/roof rack/bike carrier damage...

We just got back from La Rochelle.... We camped a few miles from LR at: http://uk.campingleverger17.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Not sure I'd recommend it as it is near a kennels and you can hear (distant) dogs barking pretty much the whole time, but apart from that was...

I used something similar, but without colours and you don't need the mains to 12vDC convertor (you can buy cheaper without it) - just attach direct to 12V via a switch (and fuse). works really well, though the adhesive backing was not much good, had to use extra glue. Kicks out loads of light...
