Bought one today.

Never been to a meet so I’m in Swansea and would go to the midlands.

That is some serious heath Robinson stuff there. Awesome

A good thought. I may need to

😂😂 I have started but decided against it.

I think I may have messed about too much with the lifter now. Opened it closed it possibly mullered. I will give it another go at the weekend. I changed My other one a few years ago and had no problems

Cheers for the reply. Sounds simple when you say it. I will try when it stops raining.

so I ive been trying to get a new lift channel and rubber fitted to the van drivers window. In principle it’s a simple task in reality it’s Uber frustrating. Any tips please.

Lucky escape there mate. If it’s not coming out could be ok but can you trust it ever again.

I’m 55. I’m at the stage where I first parade and last parade the van. which basically means check the oil check everything is where it should be give the tyres a kick, check the brake fluid before I go and when I get back from a journey.

I had to change my ignition barrel last year. Massive faff. It’s not been the same since. Barrel pops out now and again plus I have to turn the key in one go. Ignition switch is also probably on the way out. I’m thinking of a push button start with a cut off key somewhere. has anyone done this...

So haven’t used the van for a couple of weeks. Jumped in today put £20 in it and went for a drive. 55 down the bypass, engine lovely and quiet, planet rock on the radio ran like a dream. This normally means something is shortly about to go bang on I’m going to coast to a halt at some point and...

So after reading the thread on grinding noise from steering box. I thought I had better look at mine. I’ve not touched it EVER. So decided to clean it up before topping it up and this came out of the gunge. I take it it’s a part and serial number plate?

Easy fix. Sometimes you just have to walk away have a brew and a think.

Are you running a 009 distributor? If you are that pipe should be blocked off. If your running an SVDA then there should be a pipe running from the distributor to the carb.

pontardawe. Near Swansea. Although the van spends winter in Cardiff

I would hate to think what I’ve spent over the years I know I wouldn’t get back what I put in. as I say I’m not selling although I did have a wobble during Covid. I see busses on sites and not just EBay that are priced high and are not selling. Cheaper fixer uppers seem to be doing ok though...

I was going to sell mine at the height of the staycation during Covid but her indoors wouldn’t let me. I would have bought another at a later date. I’m now thinking if the prices really drop I may buy another and start a fleet.

Just thinking aloud really. Are van prices falling what with the cost of living, energy prices and fuel costs has the bottom fallen out of the market.
