Not sure as I wasnt driving but smell of burning and black smoke was reported. Cheers Darren

Hi Can anyone recommend a Garage around the Edinburgh area please. The fan and the alternator have become disconnected according to the AA and he is saying the engine needs to come out. I am at a loss to understand how this has happened as the engine is only two years old. Any help and...

Yes I only live a few miles away so know the area well... You were spot on at £200 per seat which isn't bad at all I was quoted double that elsewhere. Am going to VanJamboree next month so will keep my eyes peeled for some seats if nothing comes up beforehand. Cheers Darren

Been to see Tony Archer and he was really helpful. I have decided to keep the seats till I can find a set of original seats, I will get these upholstered and then sell the ones that are currently in. That way the van stays original(ish) and so do the Rover seats as they are in good working...

Thanks everyone they are great seats with lots of support and comfort. I want to match them to the ones on the back that have been reupholstered already but been quoted £350 to £400 each!!! Will try post a pic of them. Where could I get them done for £200 as I am based in Yorkshire and therefore...

Many thanks

Hi I have a 1970 and it has had its front seats replaced as per the attached pic. I would either like to re-upholster these or replace with a set of original seats. So my question is can anyone recommend someone who cold re-upholster these and/or know of anyone that has a set of front seats...

Ok so it turns out the generator strap had snapped and was just hanging there. In addition to this one of the four bolts that hold the backing plate was missing (the awkward one). Now had the strap welded so will attempt to refit and adjust without rubbing. Wasn't entirely sure the importance of...

Hi I bought a 1970 with a recon engine bought by previous owner. It sounds like the fan has started rubbing on the tinware especially on tick over. When I apply some leverage on tinware it does go off and is less noticeable when driving. Just wondering if there are any suggestions while the...

Result! After changing the OSR wheel cylinder we discovered the nipple ws broken off and the clamp holding the wheel cylinder to the back plate was sheard off. So changed the wheel cylinder and bled the system old fashioned style getting rid of all or most of the air. Then adjusted the brakes up...

Thanks very much I will let you know how I get on. Pretty sure the snapped nipple isn't helping, I have an eezibleed kit and if all else fails a new master cylinder. Fingers crossed and if she behaves will be going for a picnic on Sunday... :lol:

Much appreciated thank you

Dear All I have a 1970 low Light non servo with drums all round. After replacing the front shoes, cylinders, flexible hoses and brake pipes i am struggling to bleed the air out after an hour of pushing the pedal and my pal going all round the van. We haven't been able to bleed OSR as the...
