Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

Not a huge amount of news. The LPG is fully serviceable and working great. loving 59p a litre for fuel. Sold my BMW and bought a Mini Cooper S (the older supercharged one) with the remaining funds put aside for Van stuff. The leaks at the rear are still there, I need to track them between the inner ...

Re: Atlantic (factory?) sunroof leaking

I have the same brand sunroof in my Dehler Profi High top. I've emailed Bristol Sunroof Centre for advice, but if any clever egg here has a suggestion, that would be awesome.

(Holy thread resurrection!!)

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

I thought I saw the van for sale again ? No mate. No way! Love it too much. I thin the listing was off and on for a number of months as the pervious owner was in two minds to sell. He'd gone abroad for an indeterminate time, so did so reluctantly. Where have you seen it listed recently? Sent from m...

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

Picked the van up from Shaun at the Dub Doctor. Wow, what a difference. So much smoother. Still a few bits that need tinkering, but I'm really happy with what's been done so far. So glad I got this done, the coolant hadn't been changed for god knows how long, it was somewhat brown in colour. Not con...

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

So literally minute after posting, I heard back from N B Restorations. Their work on Facebook looks awesome, once I know I have the van back from the lpg chap, I'll meet up with them and hopefully agree a price! Very excited!

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

So the bodywork guy has got cold feet. Feels the job may be too much for him, which I appreciate him saying before he starts any work, rather than part way through! However, as someone who is looking to go full time as a bodywork guy, it's having the confidence to take on a challenge that can mean y...

Body Shops South West.

Hi I'm in Yeovil, looking for a good body shop within reasonable distance. It's a fair bit of work, but not a full restoration. Did have a chap lined up, but he got cold feet. I've messaged N B Restorations, awaiting a reply in the near future. Just keen to hear of any recommendations particularly f...

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

So on Tuesday, I dropped the van in at the local specialist, The Dub Doctor. I've met Shaun, the proprietor a couple times. Very passionate and knowledgeable chap with a very good reputation. In fact when I was driving my van home from buying it in Yorkshire, I stopped to see a friend in Sheffield. ...

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

Thanks guys, appreciate the replies. Replacing the sparks, leads, cap and rotor has worked wonders, easy cruise to Exeter today, felt like a different van. I'm doubting the alleged 3k miles service, I think I'll tell the specialist to do an oil and antifreeze service, just so I have an accurate line...

Re: The Rage-storation: I Shoulda Bought a God-damned Harley!

Plans Next Tueday it's in with a VW specialist for a once over. It eats miles but I want to know about any impending doom. There's a strong smell of petrol, I though it may be a rusty tank or knackered breather pipes, but today I've spotted the filler neck where it meets the filler cap is broken. I...
