Thanks Doods, im totally impressed with his work, got rid of every swirl known to man and brought the colour back out into the front with a great depth! just got to get it filthy now camping in a field :)
 
Still using the bus, upgrading some electrics and batteries, keeping the smile on the face :) Solar panels working like a dream to! best thing ive ever bought tbh!
Great looking bus, looks very well maintained?
 
What make are the panels and wait did you get them? I’m interested as we’re off to a festival in the summer with no hook up.
Hey dood they are these https://www.justkampers.com/products/solar/ its the folding 3 panel one, lets me to keep both leisure batterie and starter battery charged for as long as you need it, it has 2 handy usb ports on the monitor that will charge your phone and laptop. Pop it on your roof rack, connect it up and your away! never get a flat battery again...result!

Thanks man, I’ll look into it as I need some.
 
Engine out time! new clutch cable and seals, tightening up everything. Also fitting a new hub n backing plate all ready for the season :)
 
Engine back in and running. Just got to get camping now lol.

Seat springs to fit, next on the list :(
I’m having a spate of little problemos now , just after I got it running nice and stopping too. Now it’s a noisy alternator. Trying to fix it without slipping the motor out.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,after several years fault free. :)

I feel your pain! ive been meaning to sort the seat springs out for ages, but hopefully sorting this week :)
 
So after much research i fitted a bluetooth battery monitor on my leisure battery, as i wanted to know what was going on with it, whilst away and also for a quick check when chargeing either on solar or at home. I went for the Victron Battery sense.
Its bloody perfect! it sticks to the side of the battery and lets you know via their app what the temp is of your battewry and how charged it is etc. also you can see what things are going on when in use etc. The temperature is also a good have as well. Its "always on" so will use the battery but it soooo minimal its all good. happy days!
