    Map of Air cooled garages {Wales}

    A few years ago there was a map floating around that someone created that showed all (?) the air cooled specialist shops around the UK. Does anyone know of a recent version. Of particular interest would be garages in or near Pembrokeshire....? I found this, but its rather old, and the only...

    Fuses on split charge leisure battery setup

    My old setup worked fine, with an original regulator off the dynamo, and a direct connection between motor battery and leisure battery controlled by a relay off the regulator. I had to replace the mechanical orginal regulator with a new solid state one. The new one is not able to delivery...

    What is this steering box from...?

    I bought this from someone on "here" yonks ago as a spare as a T2 early bay right hand drive steering box - but it seems the number indicates it's something else. Anyone know what it is from - google doesn't show anything for this number... Correct Part Number is 214 415 049F not 214 415 131A...

    1968 Dormobile, New MOT, price reduced

    Argueably the best year and model. 1968 was the first year of the baywindow so has some interesting features left over from the split screen, but better engine, brakes and steering etc. Being right hand drive your children don't spill out of the sliding door into the road ! As a Dormobile it...

    Anti roll bar bush

    Whilst doing a pre-MOT walkaround I noticed this... It looks like a very simple job to replace - not even needing to remove the anti-roll bar. Is this the case ? I am nervous about leaving the bus in an undrivable state so I couldn't drive to a repair ship to bail me out if needed. Assuming...

    What's it worth...?

    I know its a piece of string question, the time has come to sell the bus, we bought it for family holidays and it was fantastic for that. but now the kids are both over 6 foot tall and object to sleeping in the bunks... It's pretty much unmolested, always starts, no smoke or strange noises...

    Stock exhaust question

    When reversing my tail pipe hit a kerb and is now lose. As the exhaust is otherwise in good condition I am wondering if I can just weld the tail pipe back on. There is no sign of a break on the outside so I was wondering if the pipe can just be welded to the outside, or if it was originally...

    30a v. 38 amp regulator ?

    Looking on Ebay and other suppliers it seems there is only one type of regulator comonly available, and it is marked as 30a only on some sites, and 30a and 38a on other sites... My dynamo is 38a. Would a lower rate regulator burn out, or just deliver less current to the battery/bus, or does...

    multi-car insurance

    Has anyone found an insurance company who "properly" offers multi-car insurance. They all seem to claim to offer it, but in reality the premium on the second car is only discounted by 10% or so.... As you can't drive two cars at the same time this doesn't seem much of an incentive to change...
