I've already got an stainless can it was on the van when i got it, it's just the manifold that need changing but i'll be getting the garage to do it as i'm worse than useless with anything mechanical

Thanks for the replies, thinks i'll go for the stainless ones from brickwerks.
Take i'll still need the cast exhaust elbow, i could see a stainless version of it? Brickwerks don't seem to recommend theirs so i might get it from JK.
cheers

I've been to see the guys at balmuir and the van should fit in with 2cm to spare so I've booked it in for next Wednesday, don't really know what to expect, never been to one before.

I was given a Lucas 643 battery that had been hanging round work for a few years, i don't think it had ever been used. I got it home and put it on charge using one of those charges from lidl, i think it's supposed to be able to recover old batteries, after 2 days on charge the charge said it was ful...

I looked at that, it's a bit big for my van, unless i could fold it round the front of the high top

fair enough, i'll stick with the gas for the fridge, but i might still use the solar panels for the leisure battery if they are any good

I've got the old rm212, and i was hopeing that a 270ah battery and 2 50w solar panels would run it I was looking at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50W-Mono-Flexible-solar-panel-Car-Boat-can-walk-sit-/270726541128?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item3f088f2f48#ht_3574wt_1139" onclick="window.open(this.href);...

Hi, I'm looking at getting solar panels when i get my leisure battery, i want to be able to run my fridge off it plus led lighting, laptop and any other gadgets i can lay my hands on. I'm thinking about getting the Elecsol 270 and the plan is to put solar panels on the roof of my high top, i thought...

I've towed a really old heavy trailer full of junk to the tip a few tips and it performed really well, i've also towed my boat and i could hardly feel that at all, still can't get used to reversing.

Hi, I've had 15.2 mpg (in my 2.1dj high top with twin webers and an after market exhaust) for town driving over the last few weeks which includes warming the engine in the cold snap and 24 mpg cruising at around 55 on the motorway and A roads. From what i've read in this post i think it's about aver...

Hi, I'm also planning to do this job over the next week or so and i've found this thread really useful, i'm got to the interior of the panel and i'm don't think it looks to bad,but what is the best way to cure the rust thats there, do i use rust killer then vactan or just vactan, after i've done tha...

Thanks, Can anyone suggest a decent what heater as well?
