    Progress Pics - Dormobile X-Over

    Apologies, Life got in the way. I have been doing a few bits including Electronic Ignition, Fuel Lines, rear seat belt points added, purchased a new whole front from Busfest. Just need a competent VW Welder to get that on. But it's a big job as everything needs to keep it's alignment. Fixed the...

    Steering Box

    No worries, I know some Steering boxes are marked with a white pen mark for alignment when re installing. I was thinking I was missing something with Penrite. Happy New Year

    Steering Box

    I got some stuff from the guy in Northampton who refurbs them N2 Engineering. Guessing it might be the stuff if it's the go to gear.

    Indicator Cancelling help needed on a 72 Crossover

    I still have it on the to do list but the wheel maybe off soon as I need a new front support panel and want to tidy up the dashboard(spray and clean) whilst it's off. So will make sure it's fixed up when it goes on. Thanks

    Dormobile pop top pvc material tape

    I did a little experiment on this subject. Before and after pictures then the video of my findings. The video is too big but the long and short of it was that £1 shop super glue was the best stuff. The other thing tested were Stormsure adhesive, double sided sticky tape which is a great quick...

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    I think I will do this too when I am changing the oil. Are their specific seals for them?

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    So the. Here's the oil pressure, 950 lower reading, 2500 rpm second reading and 3000 3pm third reading. Probably not the best oil pressure guage. What I did notice was that the temp on the dipstick was less than the oil pressure guage input. See pics

    Sorry for the long post. I have a stock engine with Electronic Ignition and a new fuel pump after a recent failure. New oil and I have checked the oil pressue with a guage. The guage was showing 19lb on idle after driving to the guy who tested it for me which was only 2.5 miles away so the...

    Gears sticking in 1st n 3rd

    Seems strange, I would perhaps look at the plate adjustment in the cab to see if you can stop it doing this. Along with making sure the bushes on the road underneath are good.

    Gears sticking in 1st n 3rd

    This pin is sprung loaded from memory and should be pushed into the socket where it stays tight. It does require it wobbling into the socket before being tightened. Maybe the cause.

    Fridges

    Thanks for the info, just pondering to buy a Coolbox or go for a 3 way fridge for my bay window Dormobile. The only problem with a fridge is I have limited depth. But if I planned a cooler bob I could accomodate it on the rebuild of the original units but adapt to make an area if that makes...
