    Insurance for a daily driver...

    Does anybody have any recommendations for who to use for a daily driver? Ours isn't a daily, but we do want to be able to park outside the house occasionally as we don't have a drive and for the classic car insurance companies this would seem to present a problem. I've never found this to be an...

    Wiper arm assembly

    Would that be true of LHD and RHD or reversed accordingly? (mines the latter)

    Wiper arm assembly

    Yes all split, cleaned greased and reassembled. It's not just a case of rotating the arm on the spindle though as the sweep from top to bottom is correct......

    Wiper arm assembly

    Right I've had another play with it so let me redefine the question. The wipers are adjusted so they pass through their sweep no problem, but when they park they do so constantly at the mid sweep point as per the picture, not at the bottom of the sweep motion/base of the screen. So the...

    Wiper arm assembly

    I'm stumped. I've had the wiper assembly apart (ie. the arms and spindles under the dash between the motor and the spindles) reassembled it now the wipers seem to park quite erratically. I was expecting this as I forgot to mark the position of the arm when it came off the motor so I was taking...

    Wiper jet seals

    Does anybody know whether the wiper jets are the same shape for the one year only '68 versions and the later black jets? I need to replace the seals and looks like I'll have to buy them complete just for the sake of not being able to buy the seals separately... Just for reference this is what...

    Storage available in the Bath/Trowbridge area

    Need to dry store that project you won't be making a start on any time soon or just bought another 'project' that you need to hide from your partner so they don't throw you out the house? I have space available to store a couple of additional vehicles. The building is a typical steel structure...

    Anybody looking for a lockup in the Bath area?

    Hi all, I'm having to move out of the barn I'm in now so I've been looking around for an alternative storage space to keep a couple of vehicles and some kit. It's an expensive thing to contemplate by yourself and the size of most of the units I've seen would accommodate more so I wondered...

I need storage for up to 3 vehicles, with power and a door tall enough to drive in a pop top camper. Going to have to move out of my current place over the next couple of months so no...

    37 days to go....

    The van has been back with us a couple of weeks already and it's coming together, I'm overdue a few pics on this thread so here's a few from when we went over to see it for the first time. The telephone pics are a bit grainy but you get an impression of just how damn flat and shiny...

    Good places to vist on the south coast (east of Brighton)?

    Thanks for your feedback everybody. We had a fantastic time, very much assisted by the amazing weather. We found ourselves in a little camp site in Alfriston in the end which despite the facilities being very basic was as cheap as chips and perfectly located. It's a great little village with...

    Good places to vist on the south coast (east of Brighton)?

    We thought we would head east instead of predictably heading west into Cornwall for a week, mainly because we realised that we have no idea of what's beyond Brighton and it would be nice to go somewhere different. Just looking at Google maps to see where we could visit isn't helping, so would...

    Colour change but can't make up my mind

    What about painting the front clip a pastel lilac with a gradual fade into burnt orange down the side panels merging into a lime green chequer fade into rear quarter panel with the silhouette of a pouncing snow leopard depicted on both sides featuring an airbrushed Arizona sunset in the...

    Wanted: '68 Dash top

    Are these definitely from a '68? ie. with all the long channels on the same level and not a raised step for the outer (or inner? I forget which) air channels as per the later dash top? Did you get the pm with my email address?

    Sorry to have gone quiet but there hasn't been too much to tel over the past month or so....we made it away and got bloody soaked, the day after we got totally sun fried, the day after that we got bloody soaked again so you get the idea. It was all good though, even a rainy day by the seaside is...

    37 days to go....

    Thanks all, credit really goes to my bro' who chipped in a huge amount of effort for nothing more than a couple of pot noodles and provided most of the bad language promised at the beginning of this thread...... I hope I don't look that rough when I'm as old as him :mrgreen:
