Hi all, I think this can be done but am currently struggling. Is it easier to just take the engine out? Phil.

Has anyone fitted a direct operated (not remote) servo to a RHD bus? I have no servo atm or mounting bracket/plate on the beam. There are a few articles about people replacing old ones with newer Brasil units & some who have fitted remote units e.g. VW Jim units. Also all the replacement units...

The unexplained noise on the drive today turned out to be the bus deciding it wants to be lower - at the front at least. Unfortunately it turned out that the adjuster grub screw had sheared. M14 - not a baby. Glad I wasn't hammering along at 50!! Another job :? :?

Refurishing my louvre window & noticed that all the components have a smear of jointing compound placed across the joint. I suspect it is to seal this point to prevent water ingress. The material used is very hard which also suggests to me that it is also an adhesive. It's light grey in colour...

FOR SALE. Much loved Fletcher Bravo 17ft6in long speedboat with Mercury135bhp V6 outboard. The trailer, wheel lock and winch are included in the price together with a ski pole, ski rope and mono ski. It has an under floor ski locker for storage and a walkthrough windscreen for easy boarding...

These are very tight & actually measure 0.2 mm OD greater than the hole in the hub housing. I checked the original, destroyed, bearing I removed & it was the same size. I presume that the pressed metal outer race will compress slightly upon insertion to leave a tighter fit. I pulled the inner...

On holiday here & Guys at FBI ordered in some brake shoes from their local supplier to save me trogging across town. Thanks guys.

As per title. Using the grill for a wee while the other day & the whole unit got quite hot. i.e. The whole white bit & the knobs too. Is this normal. It was lit correctly i.e. It was not burning from the jet but at the burner unit. Sorry if this should be in Technical or Camping. Phil.

Hi, has anyone got a pair of bog standard door handles lying around? Finally got round to tarting up & fitting some door cards I bought ages ago, only to find out that my handles don't line up with the holes in the cards. On closer inspection, my old crap door cards had extra holes cut in to...

I mean the rear view mirror stalk. The covers over the rear hinges. Round hooks on B pillars. My roof lining, & everything else adjacent, have been painted white with a vinyl emulsion type paint. I've been removing it with paint remover & don't know if I've also removed any base paint too...

Does anyone have the diameter for the outlet pipe connection at the bottom of the reservoir. The one which attaches to the pipe which runs down to the master cylinder header. I'm thinking of running suitable hose instead of plastic pipe with a special seal at each end. I don't need the ID of the...

I have a Jan '71 bus & the headlining is off white with dark dots all over it - rather than perforations. I expected to see holes but it actually looks original as all of the interior trim is covered in this to a standard worthy of VW. (Not the same standard of most of the other "work" carried...

2002 Elddis Avante Firestorm 524 – 4 Berth Large end bathroom with wardrobe & separate shower. One non-smoking owner from new. Pleasant red & gold upholstery – not the typical dowdy patterns usually found. (Blinds always closed when not in use to protect from fading). Blown air heating & hot...

I have just broken one of the clips on my 009 dizzy. Has anyone got one or know here I can get one? Thanks, Phil.

About to refit big end bearing caps. Bentley talks about early nuts, which used to be locked by peening, & newer nuts. It says to use new type nuts if your old ones have previuosly been peened. How do I know if my nuts are old or new ? :? Are new ones nyloc type? Does anyone use loctite -...

My oil pump drive shaft is damaged as is the slot in the camshaft gearwheel where it locates. The damage is at one end (driven end) of both sides of the shaft. It would almost appear that it is too short for the job & it is being forced out. However the pump is the correct 26mm for the 4 rivet...

I'm thinking of removing the wheelwell to create more space in the engine bay for my leisure battery & eberspacher fuel tank. I recently saw this bus at Back2basics. It had had this done to it & looked quite neat. I only thought of this once I'd got home & looked at the pics - otherwised I'd...
