cool....much better watching someone do something than trying to understand it from a manual.....maybe we could get videos on wiki in here

shop around a bit, I got quoted over £2k for some welding recently - I mean a LOT of welding - I ended up paying £600 but that included new brakes, tyres and a load of other stuff as well. Still a lot of money but far less than the original quote so its worth checking out some other welders in the a...

That looks brilliant. Gonna be stripping mine out over the winter, so its good to see it is "doable" esp if as you say you just "gave it a go" which is what I will be doing (jigsaw at ready - stand back :lol: ) I have a mate who is a carpenter said he will give me some tips if I ...

The brake fade was extremely scary th...

This happened a couple...

tis a white van that was washed with something red

I'm going for a new interior and wondered if anyone has ordered kits from camper shak and if so how easy/difficult were they to fit?

thanks Kev

Dropped the wheel today to see if the knocking was caused by the fan...it isnt...the fan is ok, spins freely , its not bent up and there is nothing fouling it. Found that the source of the problem is actually the radiator moving because one of the support brackets is rusted through and the other is ...

thanks I will try these once I get back from pilton

I have an intermittent knocking from the front of the van....happens usually after a long journey, the van doesnt overheat but starts to smell "rubber hosey" then this hellish knocking starts, if I cut the engine it continues for about 30 seconds then stops. When I restart the van the prob...

I think 2 hours is too long for this job, have never had them done on the van but have had them done on various cars and I honestly dont think any of them took more than an hour.
