Hi All Thought I'd share what happened to us in France this summer. The clue is in the title - the 6mm copper pipe that comes from the exhaust probe into the engine bay was cut through by the tinware where it enters the engine bay. This had obviously happened over time with the vibrations of the eng...

I have an Elite re-con 2,0 air cooled. They are not the quickest - expect to be vanless for a couple of months! No complaints about the engine though - still running beautifully 2 years and 2 european tours later. I have no idea about the history of the donor engine. They are much much cheaper than ...

Hi

Just bought a Royal Traveller 2 awning, second hand. Does anyone have a manual they can scan and post?

cheers

thankyou hacksaw, that makes sense

Hi Looking at an elite recon engine due to knackered cylinder head and general ropey old engine. I know I'm being a bit of a numb nut but what exactly is the surcharge / exchange unit thing? Does it actually cost an extra £150? Do you have to pay it and claim it back if they can recon your old engin...

now now, the midlands aren't short of a piece or two.

oh and many an hour of my life has been wasted around J9 of the M6. I have relatives in Crewe...

stop touting for business Pete!

you have PM by the way

oh and I wouldn't attempt this myself! Just wondered if anyone had heard of such a set up.

Can you run a propex heater on the gas thats in the lpg tank (for the engine). Its a Gasure conversion. Also would it then be possible to run the hot air from the propex through the van's ducting for proper de-misting / cab heating? 2.0 A/C my heat exchangers are knackered so thought this might be a...

Update:

didn't do anything, didn't leak too bad (and it rained. Alot). Moral of the story: Don't get your knickers in a twist.

yep, that sounds like a good option. Thing is I don't have time (away on Friday) plus I barely have enough spare cash for beer let alone thermo wotsits...

Ok I know it's never going to be completely waterproof unless you replace it with some kind of nautical millenium uber-fabric that costs an arm and a leg but I saw this thread on a forum about soft tops: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=8&t=219434 They talk about Thomson Waterseal ...

rozzo, thanks for the reply unfortunately it was already stinky before the oil mis-hap. The engine bay is a bit smelly so if it just sucks the air from in there it will stink I guess. Worried about exhaust fumes though. I suppose I will have to get it looked at. I've pm'ed you my address for that di...

just saw the pic...no it is not cream, not at all...
