Hi guys, I'm in the process of replacing the clutch on my bus and just checking if these sliver clipsat the bottom of the photo are the retaining clips that need removing before fitting? Cheers

My bus has been having issues with difficult gear selection for a while, especially first gear. Back in the winter I went to pull away at traffic lights to find I had no drive in first or second gear. Third and fourth still worked fine. When I got it home I then lost third and fourth too...

I dropped my engine out today after having issues with gear selection. Here's the thrust bearing!!! :shock: The clutch has only been in about 2 1/2 to 3 years. I haven't removed the clutch as of yet.Do you think it will need a complete replacement clutch or just the thrust bearing?? ...

I've had my clutch in for the last 3 years and it seems that the release bearing is wearing already. Gear selection is also getting worse and there is a wurring sound when depressing the pedal. When standing still in gear its trying to move especially if it's in second gear. Despite already...

Hi, I'm after a hub cap for my 68 please. Lost one a while ago but just need something fairly presentable for now until I get myself a decent set all round. My others are the cheap sunny climate ones which have a bit of pitting on anyway. Cheers Rob

The main beam light on the dashboard hasn't worked for years and now it comes into the mot. Ive fitted a new bulb and the only time it comes on is when the dipped beam is switched on!! The light doesn't change at all with the main beam activated. Any ideas?

I'm trying to get some new shockers for my 68 for the MOT. Like a tit I ordered post 8/69 ones from C&C. These are slightly thicker so the thread isn't long enough for the nut. C&C don't seem to have the correct one but JK do 67-71! Before I have to pay lots of postage to get a quick delivery...

I've found that I have two snapped bolts into the drive shaft behind the rear wheel. Started to try to drill them out but they don't seem to want to move. A bit worried that I might damage the threads for bolting the cv joint on to. I was going to continue drilling hoping they will move or fall...

My old Kadrons are in desperate need of refurbishment, can anyone recommend someone or somewhere where I can get them done please? Cheers

Hi, I'm running a pair of tired Kadrons with my 1641 but it seems the fuel consumption is getting worse. There is play in the spindles and some slight weeping of fuel on one. The performance doesn't seem that brilliant now either. As a complete novice with carbs what is the best way of dealing...

Just wondering if anyone has got an original Testwood Motors dealers sticker of Southampton in their bus? My Dormobile came from there new in 1968 and I've been trying to find out what the original dealers sticker would have looked like. I recently found this one but can't work out what the...

I thought it would be good to get a gallery collection of our Dormobiles on one thread. Here's mine to start with... Who's next?

I've bought some year dated mud flaps from C&C for the rear of my van which have come with 'L' shaped brackets. I assume these aren't standard as I can't see how they would fit correctly. Has anyone fitted any of these new flaps and have you got any pictures of how they mount please. Thank you

I've bought a pair of seals to go between the bodywork and the headlights as mine keep filling up when it rains. However I can't see where they would fit as they are really small and don't seem to stretch too well either. Any ideas please??? Thanks Rob

Took my van to exhibit at Martin Clunes Buckham Fair on Sunday. Whilst driving there I heard what could only be described as an electrical shock type popping coming from the front of the van. Parked up and went off, came back 10 minutes later to find this...... First thought was someone had...

Just seen this in my local paper :cry: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/12977303.UPDATE__VW_camper_van_destroyed_by_fire_at_Studland/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; real shame, but luckily everyone was safe.

Hi guys, I'm wanting to fit early style steel wheels on my 68 but have had later hubs and disc brakes fitted. I tried years ago to fit a set of 14" with wheel adapters but the calipers were fouling on the wheel rim. If I could find some, would 15" splitty ones fit ?

Hi guys, Anyone know the overall height of a stock Dormy? Just trying to work out if I can get into various car parks near me. Most are reading max height of 2 metres. I know I clear the 2.1 metre barriers after lowering my ariel, but haven't had the nerve to try anything lower. I have...

Merry Christmas to you all. Hoping Santa brings everyone all the parts you need!!! :D
