    Oil smells of petrol.

    Check how much oil you take out as well, this may give you an idea of how long it has been doing it. My fuel pump went on the motorway and i stopped as soon as the red oil pressure light came on, and there was a big puff of blue smoke as the cylinders flooded - :shock: When i drained the oil...

    Revealing OG paint

    Before After Like Carlos, it was just LOADS of time. Stanley blade where possible to get the thick white paint off, then painstaking polishing with 400 - 1200 grit wet and dry Take your time if you think it is worth it

    Sunroof drain tube question (again)

    Sadly I no longer have my bus, but after four years of playing with the sunroof on the drive I got quite good at it :D My bus didn't have the lifters, without Graham at Midland Early Bay I would never have know about them. So, what you need are : A bracket from B&Q that fits this...
