Two tones at the same time is perfectly fine. Lots of cars have those from factory. But two tones sounding in alternating sequence is very very not allowed [emoji3]

If you have a friendly mechanic, you can just ask them to whizz it off and then back on again (a bit), drive home and get to work. Even better if you take them the 46mm socket. I just used a Halfords pro 3/4 breaker bar (£30, lifetime warranty) and a scaffold pole to retighten it, just using the 'st...

Dear slowcoach, Ten years on (!), would you still recommend this product as a protective coat for an elderly fibreglass poptop? Many thanks for any advice. not ten years! although it does say i joined 10 years ago :) i did this in february this year. Yes id definitely reccomend it- i didnt find any...

Are we talking about this fridge? https://www.justkampers.com/jkr50-fridge-freezer (That Google share link won't work for me here). A new fridge has been on my wish list for ages, but my current, rather tired and shabby 43 year old compressor fridge refuses to die. Just measured up, and my one is 45...

Very very common indeed, unfortunately!

Yikes. Sometimes as you say, have to just suck it up.

Clutch master shouldn't cost that though, unless it's a gold one !

That's the best one that's available

Yeah some easy movement in the mounts with a pry bar, more than I could assume should be there. New ones ordered from autodoc so just waiting for them now. Thanks all [emoji1303]

I used a plastic shampoo bottle, to make a boot shaped cowl , slit down the side to slip over the boot. And around the shaft. Taped in place tightly and was fine for several weeks till I could fix it properly [emoji1303]

Thanks guys. The overflow tank is fitted now. Took me a while to be able to test drive properly as when I tried the heavens opened and turned out the windscreen wipers had stopped working. Long story short that issue turned out to be my own silly fault because I'd wired up the X relay wrong when sw...

Ok interesting. Bite point is fine, nothing unusual there.

Gearbox nose bushing is new, the 2 engine rubber mounts I can't speak for. Are those the ones you mean? I'll look with a pry bar. Thanks

I've got a fairly repeatable judder when pulling away in 1st or second, at low ish revs, particularly when it's cold, or not been running long. Seems to go away when it's warmed up. Using higher revs clears it. All other behaviour is normal. It's actually been doing it for ages, I just adjusted beha...

you can fill the radiator using some 4mm washer hose syphoning from a coolant bottle on top of the cab, as long as you remove the bleed screw, don't lose the washer if fitted and have them to hand when it is full, works really well - Dai taught me that trick :ok Yeah I've had some interesting contr...

If it helps any guage paranoia, mine reads approx 3/4 when warned up, and has done for years- it's normal for this van. I've an rjes converted loom too. It sounds a lot like you've a lot of air in the system, if it's not coming out the radiator bleed when hot. Get the overflow tank fitted and filled...

Sucking in air every time you do a warm up & cool down cycle (which you are currently doing) could certainly hurt your cooling ability. Very worth fixing as step 1 [emoji1303]
