    europian road trip

    Enjoy the trip - did it a few years ago and had a ball 8) Forget about joining the CCC just for the discounts as it`s cheap enough anyway + they want you to book in advance , not something I do to be honest .... :)

    Kent to bandol in a t2

    Brilliant trip - I love that area and have driven down probably a dozen times , mainly to watch the racing at `circuit Paul Ricard` , up in the hills above Bandol . Steady 55-60 all the way and you`ll have a ball ! It`s worth getting on the peage south of Lyon as it gets twisty on the RN and...

    wanted: poles for a devon torvette 1969 original awning

    Pretty sure you have a MOTENT day awning .. Can`t seem to post a picture but it`s an elongated `A` frame across the front with 2 guy lines pulling the canopy taut. It attatches to the van with an awning rail fixed a few inches above the gutter , just above the side door Very simple , very nice...

    More engine queries please.

    My guess would be the choke is still activated when you leave the van to idle , leading to sooted plugs and the engine dying . Don`t forget the stepped cam will hold the choke on until the engine is hot enough and the throttle blipped , then the cam spins around to its normal running position ...

    Flat spot

    Two points really .... I ran a 009 for 20 years but never could get it spot on - best improvement was to set the quadrant on the accelerator pump to maximum squirt . Second point being I fitted an accuspark SVDA last week and it TRANSFORMED the low to mid-range . No fiddling with the carb ...

    Underslung LPG tank

    Having a clearout - i`ll never get around to fitting this so someone gets a decent underslung gas tank to play with ! Good condition with NO rust and and gas tight - it`s still holding gas . Great if you`re running a fridge or propex - will save you a good few quid and pay for itself in a...
