Re: installing solar power in a westy

That is how I would use it, although my leisure set up would just mean one Anderson connector onto the starter battery. My sterling charger recognises that and charges the leisures. I can appreciate the nickability of them, but I think mine would only be used during extended stays or very hot place...

Re: Clutch woes.

I removed the gearbox. Everything inside the bell housing was covered in mud/clay dust. Previously I had thoroughly cleaned inside the bell housing but I hadn't spent as much time as I should have cleaning the fly wheel. :oops: Everything is now spotlessly clean. I fitted an new thrust bearing as th...

Re: Adventure Overland Show,Stratford Racecourse 26-27 Sept 2015

Nice to meet you all. Thank you for making us feel very welcome unlike the show staff, who were rude, stupid and aggressive. (I was very close to levelling the tall one). Loving all the pics and films. See you again soon, Leo Anna Joshua Elvis Rosie xx It was good to meet you and your family. My bo...

Re: Clutch woes.

I had a look to his morning. There doesn't appear to be excessive wear. The push rod is at minimum adjustment. Rob has also mentioned adjusting this. Do you have any tips on how to adjust it as it seems impossible to get a spanner on it. I welded a pair of long sockets together, through sockets wor...

Great weekend for all of us. Thanks to everyone that was there.

Last nights food was simply amazing.

Lloyd, there's a beetle near me that's been sat on a drive for the last couple years. Let me know if you want the address.

We aim to be there early (for us) tomorrow as long as the clutch issues doesn't become any worse.

Re: Clutch woes.

So...... I have changed the slave cylinder and I'm happy that it is air free. Taking another look, I'm not sure the biting point is actually that low. It appears to be more the case that the pedal becomes very, very stiff as it nears the bottom, giving the feeling that it's all the way to the floor ...

I'm hoping to make vegatable samosa's (vegan). I'll need a bit of practice before I commit. :oops:

Re: Clutch woes.

Fluid was last changed about 4 years, 50k kilometres ago. As you said it may be worth bleeding it just case. Strange that all was well until I changed the clutch. But maybe I somehow damaged the slave cylinder whilst doing it.

That's what I having been considering. I'm hoping it's something simple like this as I really don't want to have to take the gearbox out again.

I haven't bled as it isn't leaking and the fluid hasn't gone down.

Clutch woes.

After an off-road event in my Tdi westy syncro I had to replace the clutch. Basically the bell housing filled with mud and water and the clutch slipped to the point where it wasn't drivable. I fitted a new Sachs clutch, LUK spigot bearing and thrower bearing. Since then the clutch has had a very low...

Re: Westy LPG regulator leak

Okay, thanks for the help.

I'd best order a new roof canvas too, to make the shipping cost worthwhile. :D

Re: Westy LPG regulator leak

Thanks. Maybe a little tap might help then. I'll try later.

Could this be the result of filling tank whilst valve is open?
