Hi After fitting mains hook-up I am left with a spare fuseway,I will be using this to supply the interior lights so in your opinion what's best to go for ? Some small domestic lamps, some 12v lamps( using some kind of transformer ) or some sort of LED set-up; ideas on this much...

Hi people, Quick up-date,don't be too hard on me........... but after trying several suggestions and getting nowhere;have now sent the bus away to be checked out ......... watch this space for the verdict. To be honest I am suspecting the worst :|

Hi guys Not had a lot of time,but managed to do the oil and have a good mooch around checking for any debris that may have been sucked up. Still starts but with a fair amount of smoke that seems to die down but returns on acceleration.Going to check timing tomorrow............ I'll...
