PM on its way - cheers Si!

Hi folks - as you may have seen on the other thread I have had some Dormobile sink-drain stickers reproduced to replace the generally worn-out or missing originals. Let me know if you want one - £2 each delivered by Royal mail in the UK. These are decent quality vinyl prints in red on white...

Hi folks, got a few stickers printed up! Sad I know... Let me know if you want one - £2.00 posted! Rich

oops double post

I'm certain I did this without removing the dizzy - using a 1/4" drive socket from memory, you can get them with a 'wobble' drive which improves dexterity a bit... (And after the exact same situation... http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71056" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Puts lots of things into perspective doesn't it? Awful situation and well done for doing what you could, hope you find out that it was a positive outcome.

Don't look great do it? :-( Sorry to hear that dude, someone must know what other brass bits there are in there...

i seem to think that the indicator telltale bulbs have to remain standard bulbs too as the resistance of the bulbs forms part of the circuit that enables the 'blinking'.

Have you blown any fuses or distirbued any earth points while you've been tinkering? (Sorry if that sounds too obvious but I've finished up rewiring tail light boards before now only to realise I had popped a fuse!))

Personally, the engineer/ traditionalist/ hate-to-throw-anything-away-ist among me would re-use absolutely everything original that he possibly could that wasn't bust, worn or shabby or a throwaway part by design. Partially in my mind it's cos the more I've looked the more original I realise my...

I rescued various bits of that black egg-box packing foam from various crates at work which I fastened behind the panels and inside the sliding door with carpet spray glue, seems alright... Have also had my roof carpet lined which helps a bit and looks fantastic...

However, if you get your bus on a trailer, then park the trailer on the road - the trailer doesn't need an MOT, regardless of what's sitting on top of it... Just so long as the bus isn't touching the road ;)

Lots of E10 ethanol fuel in France.

How near is near? I wouldn't know about any 'VW-related' attractions, but Wicklow is an interesting coastal town, Powerscourt house and gardens very pretty and relaxing, and a big waterfall (highest in Ireland) to look at, (near Enniskerry), and Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains are lovely for...
