    Another Dormobile restoration :)

Sounded like she was running on 3 cylinders so pulled the leads and confirmed only firing on 3. Narrowed down to distributer / electronic ignition conversion so now have...

    Door handles recommendation

    I got C&C ones all coded to the ignition key - the quality is great and the coding service was spot on. Only one I had any issues with was the rear hatch lock where the barrel seemed slightly shorter than the original, but a litle bend of the release catch sorted it and works spot on

    Had the same issue with mine and ended up crumbling into the engine. Was very close to getting it out with a thread cutting tool as suggested. Fingers crossed for you!

    Dormobile roof lining

    Hi, can anyone show me how the Dormobile roof lining above the bed and around the roof cap is attached? It's been so long since I took mine off I can't remember! Is it held on by the curtain rails or is the wooden lining attached first then the curtain rails screwed on through it? Any pics and...

    Dormobile poptop

    Hi, I got a proud to pop canvas for my Dormy after much deliberation and was a really good fit. Fitted it myself with a couple of mates and only took a day including a lot of cleaning up and sorting out of the original fittings.
