Thank you. This seems to have very good reviews and I like the audible and visible alarm option.

I'm going to have an engine bay fire extinguisher fitted to my Early Bay. From some research so far, the Air Cooled one looks decent. I like the visible and audible alarm! Does anyone have any experience of these of any other recommendations, please? I've searched previous posts but the...

Tie rod sorry, not trailing arm! I think the tyre was probably on it's way out but I'd put the vibration down to the steering joint wear when actually there were two things going on. Back safely now anyway, thanks for your advice. 1822 miles and a worn tyre and some joint wear isn't bad. I'll...

Problem solved, or diagnosed. Passed a tyre garage and took it in. FNS tyre had become deformed. Also some slight play in the trailing arm centre bush.

With the wheel on the ground there is a little movement side to side. Looking underneath and rocking the wheel the play appears to be in the hub as opposed to any visible movement in joints etc. Same amount of movement when jacked up.

When I say wheel in hub, there's about 1mm of movement.

It has some side to side play but not top to bottom. Looking underside theres nothing apparent that's moving apart from the wheel on the hub. It's not graunching at all, just a quiet knock. To be fair, it's a pretty original van with 65k on clock. It is probably the original running gear!

Apologies if this appears twice. I posted it earlier and had a reply but I'm fooked if I can find it again. I'm in France on a three week trip but 700 miles in I've got a knocking noise on the FOS. It's a rotational noise as opposed to constant. It's not loud or head turning but just worrying...

Some photos of the original books that came with the camper along with a handwritten log of all the overnight stays the original owners spent during their 44 years of ownership.

Thank you for posting those pics Lee C. Nice to see them. Yes, Ron was reluctant to upset Ryan. I hope to get to a few shows next year.

Sorry to post re a different subject but Clem, do you know what size speaker I would need to fit under the dash under the perforations, where I'm presuming an original single speaker would have gone? I'm looking at dual voice single speakers to fit in the same place so i dont have to cut any holes.

I'm new to this so would be guided by someone with much more knowledge but as I understood it, the dash on the early bay models reflected the exterior paint colour rather than being all black? The clips; I'm not sure about. The interior certainly doesn't look refurbed in any way. I can only find...

The original owners sold it in 2013 when the 80 year old wife found it too difficult to get into the bed anymore! It was then owned by someone else for four years who has six! I saw it at a show and got chatting to the he owner who had a split for sale. Went to look at that but he'd had a better...

I've just bought an Early Bay and the roof is in good condition. No splits and chips or bad paint jobs but, the Dorma roof could do with a clean outside. It's a little dull with some light grey spots. I've tried Feracla but it gave it a shinier finish without really cleaning the engrained dirt...

Purchase the van in question. All original interior, original fabric and carpets and curtains even if they're a little faded, and nearly all original paint. One or two areas touched up as rolling repairs. Original engine, dorma roof, one key fits all, all original glass still etched with reg...

Hi, I'm currently looking for an early bay and have found one that has done low miles and is all original. Original paint, interior, engine etc. In top, top condition with a Dorma conversion. RHD. What would people say value wise for a van like that. I appreciate that it's difficult to give an...
