    Sliding door adjustment.

    I've been tweaking away on my sliding door trying to get it to sit right. No matter what I do I just can't get it to pull in at the bottom back corner to line up with the quarter panel. Anyone got any hot tips?

    Tailgate won't stay up.

    How the hell do the rods meant to work? are they meant to be under tension or do they catch somehow when the door is up. Mine have never worked and I'd like to get them right before I have the roof lining done. Sorry if this is a silly question.

    Door seals

    Hi guys, I installed a set of German quality door seal a while back and many of them are now starting to fall off. I used a spray adhesive, I'm thinking perhaps this wasn't the right substance. Any advice on these? The sliding door hatch along the bottom is a bad area as it seems the glue is...

    Droopy tail

    My tailgate wont stay up, I have the exact right length of stick which works well but I feel I'm letting my bus down a bit. Can I add tension to the rods, do anything at all with me or do I need to replace them? I have some lates laying about at a mates, could I nick the rods from one of them? Lee

    Hey guys. I had a stainless 2 bow from lime bug on the front of my Devon. Unfortunately it was stolen :( When I first put on the rack I had to bend it in across its length for it to line up with the gutters. This sprung load actually ended up cracking my gutters, granted this is probably is...

    Alternator buggered

    So my spark tells me my alternator is buggered. Something about the wires being soldered before and now there's not enough length or something. These things came with dynamos right? So how do I go about getting a replacement? And is it going to mean dropping the engine??

    Wanted earlybays in disrepair

    My friend runs a body shop in Aberdeenshire and wants to buy up t2s to restore as running shells to sell. His plan is to give his guys something to work on when business is slow and save a few buses at the same time. So if you have any total rust buckets or failed projects give me a shout and...

    Weed eater, dropped spindles and air shoxks

    Roof rack too big?

    I bought a 2 bow ss roof rack and I'm starting to think its too big. If you stand at the front of the bus and look at it, it's bent along roughly the same line as the roof. Both the bows and the rails. I had to pull it down to get it on the gutters eek. Is it possible I've been given the wrong...
