There is a O-ring on the shut off valve, mine was leaking from there and going under the flo...

Re: Need new rims

Campervanculture are also selling steel wheels to replace the originally supplied Mefro versions, maybe worth a look?

Thanks for your reply plasticman.

Re: Front lower panel rust repair

Thanks for your reply David.
I will have cut the left and right side seam joint with an angle grinder but how would I rejoin the new panel there?

Syncropendence 2023

This year was truly an adventure. The weather made for a very challenging environment, picking the right line crucial. There was lots of failed ascents and interesting descents! A smaller turn out this year; I feel this only helped create a closer group. On the Saturday there was a full days driving...

Re: Huge thanx for SP

What a great weekend, thanks to everyone who helped organise and plan the activities. John Lucus, thanks for coming to the recuse and cutting away the Oak tree so we could simple drive out of a tight spot! The new area was excellent and really opens the vastness of the area we have to explore. Hope...
