i recently purchased 5L of Mettalic Silver 2k acrylic + 2.5L hardener + thinner from this seller on ebay: "e-buy-paint-equipment" Seemed very professional and its what it says on the tins :) btw the whole lot cost me £80 (including free gravity fed spray gun) I havent sprayed the whole van...

Many thanks if you can help ~
btw, v.g job on the interior, and give you mum a pat on the back!

yup dont mind doing a little guide. What for though the LED or Cathode link?

hey i purchased a set of 4 of these from ebay a few months ago. Merc SLK standard alloys. Theres loads of them and they are cheap because a lot of merc drivers seem to go for upgrades on the wheels when they buy a car. They are aluminium coated with laquer. My set set me back £46 with fairly worn Mi...

To be pedantic, the fluorescent lights i've ever seen in campers are all cold-cathode types.

^^ you werent wrong though fluorescent tube lights are cold cathode

hi, i'll try and explain ccfl's : ... to cut a long desciption short http://www.answers.com/topic/fluorescent-lamp on a small fluorescent tube (the ones we know as ccfl's) it takes a small amount of voltage to start the arc required to get the tube lit. The invertor is always required because due to...

ccfl - yeh if you look at the bottom of my last post theres a link some some very cheap ccfl's on ebuyer.com + these same devices are stocked by many other companies (not relating to computers). but for about 3-4 times the price.

Ok, I am glad I'm not the only person who has eulogising about LED lights. Perhaps I can cut back on the amount of research some of you guys will have to do  I have to confess since I was a kid I've been fascinated with torches. So you can probably understand that the first thing I did when I got m...

woo- any chance you could supply the pdf/ psd / image that you used to get that vanimal sticker made? Or did you order it from elsewhere?

Lovely finishing touches btw

Thanks for the quick reply, although i'd love to go for a full chrome set i just dont have the funds. I'm gonna have to go for steel spacers (10mm = £12) and chrome bolts/studs. No drilling whatsoever requires or adjustments to the rear hubs?
Cheers

hey, thought audi alloys needed the centres machining? I couldnt find a place that would do it for a resonable price so i went and bought some Merc SLK (2002) alloys from ebay for £46. Im pretty sure i need 10mm spaces on the front (as mentioned above), longer studs & bolts all round. Anyone kno...

Valid points
"few thousand miles" = 2000

Ah yeh ive yet to master the skill of driving behind myself, so i'll have to ask a friend to do so for me. Ive pulled the throttle cable whilst standing at the back of the van before and dont get any smoke.

hi, i have a related problem. Ive had my van for about 5months driven a few thousand miles and its never given me trouble thats not my own fault (lack of fuel!) It does seem to use a lot of oil though, ive used x2 containers of the stuff. My engine is not smokey ..ever .. and ive never found any oil...

The Van is running! cheers for all your help. I wasnt sure how to safely clamp the fuel hose either side of the fuel filter without it splitting, so i got a friend to put his thumb over the end of the tube.. im sure this is not the way to do it but it worked. Instead of pouring fuel into the carb ag...

Many Many thanks for the úber quick responce, i actually purchased new oil (mann) & fuel filters the other day from gsf (very helpful guys in plymouth) so i guess im going to try and slide under the van and change the fuel filter this evening. I hope my fuel pumps ok though, otherwise thats a...
