rusty old nail to sow's ear

After last Sunday's journey home in the dark and rain with a choice of any 1 in 3 of wipers, indicators or lights due to a charging fault. It was electrical fault finding day.
Charging fault sorted after repairing damaged generator light cable and faffing about with those stupid dash lampholders...
Side light fault sorted as well, so on another roll decided to replace sliding door roller and guide block. All done and then dropped sliding door while trying to refit.....

oh f*ck :lol:

You got an electrician it then Wig?

Oh and did the door survive?

Just

:tongue0013:

It was caused by some twat ramming loads of celotex into the front panel and straining the connections behind the dash....

Oh and did the door survive?

Well, the top half is OK. :lol:

It runs freely and shuts properly now, but is absolutely rotten.

 

[sparkywig]

Well, there's your problem....

No wonder the sliding door was a bit sticky. :lol:

 

[dubscum]

:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

mine came out like that

only problem now is the door slides freely so it keeps closing on me while im half in half out getting in or out it use to just stay were you opened it too :lol: :lol:

 

[sparkywig]

Mine does that now as it doesn't latch open, need to park perfectly level or facing uphill. :lol:

Found this from the VanWest cruise earlier this year.

At last, got the cooker unit finished.
Fitted some double roller catches to stop the lid flying off, the rear of the unit doesn't touch the seat bulkhead with the removable hinge so can't fit the fixing rail.

All ready for the Twixmas camp.

Well, that was a bit of a let down. Site was small and not "all-weather" pitches as advised.
The levelling chocks sank during the night, and it took the best part of half an hour with the assistance of a Welshman and a seatbelt (don't ask.... :lol: ) to extricate the bus.

Didn't bother with the awning as it was so waterlogged, back still hurts, so only stayed the one night and came home for New Year's Eve.
Back to the Tudor Arms this year hopefully.

What size tyres you running Wig? Forgot to look earlier

Just

 

[sparkywig]

I've got 175/55/15's on the front now that I fitted the 4.5" wheels, much better ride than the 155's.
Smaller rolling radius though, so the speedo's even further out. :lol:

On a serious note though, the speedo reading over means that the agreed value mileage limit is very close this year. :?
