Re: Jack Frost Crash

No luck. The only one related to body work was fully booked until 2012 !!!

Re: Turning knocking at speed

On another note I bought some rear bearings from GSF too. But the outers dont bloody fit. Is this the norm? I was lucky this time as on inspection the bearings were fine. Where do gents in the know buy their bearings?

Jack Frost Crash

Right I've had an accident and need to get a reputable garage to fix the damage. The front nearside around the indicator is smashed in and pinning the door in place slightly. I'd be looking for a specialist anywhere between bedford and coventry as I live in one and work in the other. Can anyone sugg...

Re: Turning knocking at speed

Moving the tyres round sorted it. I replaced the wheel bearings too. They were knackered, looked like they'd been installed badly.

Electric fuel pump and overfuelling

Hi, I've just fitted an electric fuel pump and adjustable pressure regulator after my mech pump got buggered (don't ask :x ). Now the van won't idle and bogs down whilst accellerating. I am assuming this is down to overfuelling, however I will be checking this with a CO meter. I have used a gauge an...

Turning knocking at speed

Hi,

My Aircooled camper has developed a knocking that can be felt through the steering wheel at some speeds when moving / turning to the left. Any ideas to know where to start looking? I have had a quick look underneath and all seems to be solid.

Cheers,
Daniel
