The Granadas will fit if you get the centres bored out slightly, doesn't take long with the right equipment, had mine done by a local blacksmith who does other type of metal works too.

Syncronauts have a good basis and have built up experience on running events over the last year or so, as Russell says, if it ain't broke, dont fix it.... just a bit of tweaking needed as always with anything. Its a pity that most events now are surrounding by ego-wars, backbiting and eyescratching....

Hiya Marcel, sorry didn't get email, will send you pics and info today.

Rupert, the Me! isn't a link, you should be able to get through on the other link if you are a member as its in the vehicle for sale forum, but will send you stuff anyways.

Karl, sometimes these things happen, or don't happen, s'est la vie, we move on.

she's very cutey but.....noooo, its got to have pictures of cute collie puppies to get my vote.... oh and a syncro doing something spectacular.

The CO and HC levels are healthy for a good running van on carbs however the CO2 level should reach 12-13% on a correctly running engine and the O2 level ideally should be below 2%, I think there may be an air leak on the exhaust side eg manifold, gaskets or silencers/pipes, the lambda figure is sho...

Tut tut tut, All the vans are Type 2s. the old bays and roundy ones are T2s, the bricks are T25, (or T24s) Type is different than T.

Ive just had to replace the rear ones on my syncro, they were the same as the 2wd ones, new inners and outers and seals cost in the region of 50 from gsf.

Thanks Andy, thats brilliant.

Ok, stupid question coming up here, are the single'double cab tanks the same as a syncro van? Are diesel and petrol the same?

Hiya, petrol? diesel? maybe they are the same? May well be interested in this and pick it up on my way back from S-P in a week or so if thats ok?

Same as the rest I believe, I dont think the sliders come out without the rest of the edging but I could be proved wrong.

Lift the rubber inside, jam a wooden half-a-peg under, lift a bit further along, another wooden half peg, keep going, push, and make sure someone is on the outside to catch.

Isn't the Dales do on the 22/23? thats what I read on there anyway.

I wasn't really aware of the bearings being that bad but ..... the hubs etc better not be knackered, if they are then I'm just giving up.

Well done on the MOT Clive, you must be well pleased.

The bearing were badly shot, the guy couldn't even tighten them up for the MOT. Wheels wobbly and too dodgy he said.
I hope the other bits don't need doing having got this far!
