I called shotts last week and they said they didn't have any T4's....i'm too busy at work to go shopping really. We're after a LWB now but are trying to source a velle 'cos it'll have better interior and swivels etc making the conversion better. Like hens teeth they are. Have given up for a while - ...

Autoroof

In a way he did actually 'cos i'm about to give him a motor when i get round to it. I got the roof of a donor and put it on my tintop, but with the electrics removed. Had it been fitted i'd have seen that my spacing of the sliders attached with 80 rivets each or something was about 20mm out on each ...

Well wullie that's a good question! Going mid December most likely but still not sure where. I'm a snowboarder and do a bit of ski mountaineering gubbins as well. I've spent loads of years in Chamonix but it's a bit to cool now for an old timer like me! So far we're considering Mayrhofen and St Anto...

Petrol engine question

I'm looking for a T4 for various reasons, don't really want to part with my bus but as i'm heading to the alps for a long time i think more economy, driving comfort and especially the safety of abs and possibly 4wd would be sensible. I've seen a nice westy multivan syncro but as it's a petrol with 1...

Fitting them all is quite easy. Danbury autoroof probably the hardest but even i managed that. Electrics doesn't work but it might one day.

The bearings were done less than 3k ago - or so the last owner said but he said lots of things that were "Balls". I'm going to have a poke about now- yesterdays rain has abated and now i'm only at moderate risk of being drowned like a rat! Who'd want to live here?

Radiator fan usually kicks in on slow just as the needle passes to the right of the led. Never heard mine on the fast setting. The usual issue is to make sure it's properly bled but saying that mine's run about with air bubbles in lots before and it's been just dandy. I would check the fan thermoswi...

Could be dodgy fuel cut-off solenoid or did you replace the fuel pump with a duff one? That's what mine did when it was dying.
