All that welding on the engine lid end and something else goes wrong. I noticed the brake reservoir was dropping a little bit, topped it up to see brake fluid just pouring out onto the drive. Am I right in thinking both ends of the res pipe have those rubber inserts, I did the top end 5 yrs...

Hi picked up a spare engine lid ages ago, cheap and welded on a couple of new patches so not perfect but will do whilst I take off the current lid which is not original and maybe repair that one. So here is the question the screws holding the hinge in place are rusted to buggery, has...

Hi don't need any replies but if you have a van backfiring on decclerration and it has been generally running fine, Check for air leaks in the exhaust, Might have been fixed but now the side lights have stopped working, so fuses for me next! One things fixed another falls apart!!

Hi bought a new rear bumper from jk with new irons. Put it on (left iron nearside?) but it hangs a bit low. Is it better with original irons or just a bit of bashing into place. I never had the out rigger bolts in place on the original but you can see its just a little bit low to fit...

Hi repairing a spare door welding in a few holes and finishing with filler. Had the quarter light off and changed a window mechanism before. Any advice on removing the door lock and window surround furniture and transferring onto my newly repaired door. I expect I'll need a new door seal...

Hi Had a whole lot of welding done to my van, cab floor and lower windscreen. Linked to that surprise surprise jacking point and some chassis work. Stereo now doesn't work unit does and speakers do so a fault in the wiring. Halfords checked this for me but now indicators oil and generator...

Just started welding, with the intention of repairing the cab doors and sliding door. If the sills on the near side need doing a professional can do it. Where do people recommend to source their parts from, or are they all similar and will need the final finesse of a hammer to tweak them...

My bunk bed material is worn and suffered from mould, time to renew. Looks easy in terms of the metal work but how is it attached to roof at the sides is it just a matter of removing the screws inside the bunk cover, all thoughts welcome as a search revealed no threads on this
