Thanks for you replies! It is a 1989 water cooled 1.9 petrol engine. Think I've sorted it, replaced all fuel hoses while at it, didn't look like anything wrong with the seal so just greased it and poped it back after a good clean. It was all black gunk around it. Didn't smell of petrol though. All b...

Hi, while doing a check of my fuel pipes etc before going away in the van, I found that the seal on the carburettor needs replacing as it's leaking (good job I did the checks!!!) what's the seal actually called? It's the seal between the top of the carburettor and the plastic air in take that sits o...

Never done a refurb either so i wouldnt know mate

No problem. Off the top of my head your prob looking at around £15ish for a 8x4 ft sheet. Not all branches have a cutting service but if the one near you has then they should be able to cut it to what ever size you want.

I work at a builders merchant (Travis Perkins) and we sell it. There will be one near you as the is a Travis everywhere! Go on the website, there is a nearest branch thing on it.

Thanks for the info

I'm going to change my hightop for a westy pop top. I have already got a westy roof but i just want to check i have everything i need before i start doing it. I have both rear brackets and the front one the roof clips to when closed, and the 'H' frame. Is there anything else i need? Also how do fit ...
