    Viva Skeg Vegas

    So the last few years have been somewhat uneventful as far as shows go, thank you for that Covid, but my favourite of all in the calendar, Viva Skeg Vegas is back on and I'm dragging the bus kicking and screaming (runs like a sack of shit and pissing oil out like it's an olympic event...) all...

    Wiper blades

    Hi folks. Can anyone tell me the length of wiper blades on a ‘68 model year bay please. It’s just so I can pick some up on the way home, rather than going to the bus to measure up, then going to the supplier only to find they have closed... Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flywheel 'O' ring.

    Sorry if this should be in 'Technical', but wondering if the flywheel 'O' ring is available separately from anywhere? Buying a complete gasket set that I don't want for the best part of twenty quid seems a bit excessive for one 'O' ring... :roll: Much thanks in advance. 8)

    No electrics.

    Trying to sort a problem on a mates late bay ('76 Riviera) and would appreciate any help/advice. The tale I got was that it wouldn't turn over, just getting a click from starter solenoid. Battery is a 2 year old Bosch and fully charged. On my first turn of the key we got the solenoid click and...

    Throttle cable grief!

    Throttle cable snapped and having right grief trying to fit the new one. Once it gets close to the gearbox end it just stops dead. I've tried filing the end to a dome, attempted several times to use the old one as a draw wire only to have the tape break every time. Having worked in the...

    Rotor arm - never seen this happen.

    Bus had been stood for a while, took a bit of turning over to fire up initially and continued to be less than good at starting until I got a chance to have a look at it yesterday (when it refused point blank to start.....). Wasn't in a position to turn it over and check for a spark at the plugs...

    The bus has been parked on the drive for a week or so, needed to move it this afternoon to make space for fixing the brakes on the daily. Literally took my breath away when I opened the door........ Windows wound down and slider open for half an hour, much better. Bloody murder though...

    Great service from BAT

    Somehow I managed to misplace my cab screen cover so ordered a new one from Bromsgrove Auto Trimmers. That was last Friday, the 24th at 3pm. Knowing they are very busy, I asked if there was any chance it would be ready for Friday 7th June (2 weeks). "I'll see what we can do" was the reply from...

    A mate has a '76 bus, 2 litre with factory EFI. Number 2 injector is loose, looks like a large sealing ring has broken causing it to float around. I'm presuming the large and small injector seals listed in Heritage catalogue refer to the one that is broken and one on the tip where the injector...

    Stepping back a few years, how it should be!

    Have just organised booking camping at Stanford Hall, and with one exception, what a refreshingly old school process it was! Yes, there is a website and it is necessary to download the booking form. From that point onwards, it is like a step back in time, send a cheque along with an SAE to 'The...
