Not that I have personally seen...I ended up just changing the complete unit as the glass fell out

Thank you...I'm just going to retreat to the land of stupid again

OK, hopefully a simple question - my engine bay is missing the two silver corrugated hoses that go from the fan down to the heat exchangers. I'm 99% sure my heat exchangers work to provide heat and the rest of the system is ok. Will these being missing be the reason why the heat is not reaching...

Dub aid and bug jam as both on my doorstep, and possibly volksworld although might not have run the engine in by then and not sure if a stint down the m1 and m25 would be any good for it

Never seen the brackets before? I assume they are used to keep the seatbelt vertical so the inertia system works?

Hoping to get a lot more use out of the bus next year since the little one came along. At the minute, the R&R has two lap belts fitted. but I am wanting to change the nearside belt to a 3 point so that I can put her child seat back there (I have all the factory fixings). Can anyone advise...

*Sam* - whereabouts between MK and Northampton are you?

Think I might come to this. We move from MK to Towcester in a couple of weeks so this is ideal for our first meet of the year

I was having this debate with myself earlier in the year. I came very close to selling as we have not been getting much use since the little one came along plus it was kept outside due to no garage which I wasn't overly happy with. Now we are moving to a place with a garage, I have thought "why...

Thanks for that info and prices...definitely food for thought

Thanks for all the advice guys. It is a matter of if I don't get it done now then I'm not sure when I will be able to, and I think I would rather try and upsize the engine now. In the middle of a house move and have a 1 year old, so money needs to go in all directions!! I think I can get what I...

Doing some investigation, i think the machining of the engine will cost approx £300 and a 1776 engine rebuild kit will be about £800, plus my guy's time to strip it all down and put back together etc, so I may be able to keep in the £2k limit. The only thing that i may need to do though is...

Thanks for that, and I agree, hills can be a right PITA and takes the enjoyment out of going on longer distances. I'm not bothered at all about top end speed, I just want to be able to cruise consistently. I was thinking along the lines of a 1776, but I was wondering if my current engine could...

Unfortunately my 1600tp has given up and will need a complete strip down and rebuild. It's not been bad since I have had the bus but always felt a little sluggish. Question is, should I get a full rebuild on this engine in the hope that it will be 'back to normal' and reasonably powered, or...

Think I have been lucky with all the stuff I have ever bought, although there are some gits out there. Whats your guy done? Make sure you make good use of the ebay reporting system

Just ordered mine...give the bus a bit more character when it arrives

Failing that, and assuming you have some spare cash and there are still some about, get the new plate now and then just buy another plate from a site e.g. One ending in 'L' etc

My bus won't be on show on Sunday now as the guy taking it wants a quick getaway at or near the end [PENSIVE FACE]

Thanks all

That could be my sticking point, as unfortunately it's not garaged
