Re: Proplex Heater Q

Camping Gas, full bottle and not desperately cold ambient temp.

I do have a propane reg and spare bottle so might give that a go

Proplex Heater Q

Anyone know anything about these. Mine was pro-fitted 10 years ago and has been v.reliable. However, now it won't light. I can hear the igniter clicking but no heat at all. I am fairly positive gas is reaching it as the taps are all in the right place and cooker/fridge work fine on gas Any ideas? Dave

Re: fitting a bunk over the cab seats

Yep. I fitted the JK one. Suits my young lad fine, but make sure you order the right size canvas.

Bunk Bed Canvas

Any ideas of where I can get some decent canvas from to make a custom cab bunkbed?

Fuel Pump Hose - New Pump

I've got a new fuel pump for my 1.9 1989 Petrol Watercooled. It is the JK model It all fits fine apart from the feeder hose. The new pump has an 8mm pipe but the original hose is smaller, closer to 5-6mm hole. Can I get a 6->8mm joining fitting from anywhere as Halfords only seem to stock 8mm hoses ...

Re: Sump plug stress

Thanks took your advice and they sorted it out on the spot with PTFE tape and a new washer. That's why you use a local independent garage

Sump plug stress

My sump plug got cross threaded and I popped it into garage yesterday to be helicoiled. They have done this and plug was in nice and tight last night, but this morning I noticed a few drips of oil seeping out. My guess is they have not changed the washer. Problem is I have to leave for France in a f...

Van Tippers

Has anyone every tipped a high top (ie and Autosleeper) using a van tipper
I need to do my brake pipes and a mate has a tipper. But he has only used it on his bay and bug, we are not sure if the centre of gravity will be in the right place for a high top?
