    Heater switch on dash!!

    Mine was in the engine bay, opposite side to the battery. Came out to make way for second battery. Ducting ran to the same side through bulkhead, next to fuel tank. You can't miss it - looks like small jet engine...

    Heater switch on dash!!

    Can't remember what's on mine from memory but it had an Eberspacher originally and had a timer switch in the same place, which ticked. Only used it once 'cos the heater sprayed juice everywhere when I did. If the switch has a huge body behind the mounting panel, then probably heater. If...

    What did you do with your early bay today

    Popped over to a recommended bodyshop for a quote on repairing a couple of holes. Was very encouraged when he looked underneath and told me it was a good one (a couple of other people told me that five years ago when I bought it but it's nice to know it's still a good one). Was even happier...

    upgrading single port engine

    Yep, done all that. Stock SP with twin 34ICTs, dual quiet pack exhaust, electronic trigger and flamethrower coil and leads, 1.25:1 ratio rockers, home-flowed heads and went from 30bhp/58lb.ft to 55bhp/85lb.ft at the wheels as well as curing an inherent mis-fire. Once it was all set up on the...

    sound systems! what u got?!

    I've got a pair of components in the front doors off the head and a pair of co-ax speakers in the rear side panels with a 10in sub under the R&R bed, all running off a four way amp, bridged into the sub. Speakers in the sides in the back mean rear seat passengers can enjoy the sounds and make...

    Bodyshop recommendation

    Can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop in the Bedford/Milton Keynes area? Found a few pinholes in the bus and would rather get it sorted properly than use my sausage fingers to ruin it forevermore... Thanks, Jim

    Picked up a load of furniture from my mum's including a couple of sheets of ply and even overtook a couple of lorries on the way home. Lovely day for an EB drive...

    What did you do with your early bay today

    'Investigated' several patches of bubbly rust which subsequently morphed into small areas of fresh air... Bugger. Still, better now than in a few months... Let the weld-fest begin...

    Nice white over cream/beige with a sunroof on a trailer, facing backwards, on the back of a late Freelander on the M1 southbound last night passing Northampton around 7.30pm. Was fair tanking it...

    What did you do with your early bay today

    Stood on a box and noticed far too much flaking paint and rust on the roof for my liking (bit of a short-arse...). Add it to the winter to-do list...

    Bird Rebuilds 1776! Job done, thanks for the help folks!!

    Can't be exact and can only speak from personal experience but switch from single to twin 34ICTs on mine gave 11bhp/14lbft at the wheels while high ratio rockers gave an additional 8bhp and 5lbft at the wheels. The headwork gave an extra 5bhp and 5lbft at the wheels, bringing the lot from...

    what are me options

    My girlfriend bought me a recon from Elite three years ago for Christmas and it's been brilliant. As Zed said, a couple of bits missing - thermostat bracket for example - but no complaints at all. And incredibly cheap, picked the bus up and fitted it and everything. Subsequently messed about...

    acc socket

    Yours looks identical to one I fitted on the underside of mine - is it a marine version? Anyway, I went with red +ve and black -ve and everything seems to work.

    Even less important for exhaust ports, as the pressure differential driving the gases out is huge, compared with inlet which is only atmospheric...
