No pics, but it's a simple one. here's the thread:

Number 31 on here keeps falling off:

the plastic seat in which it resides is badly worn, so the nylon ring that is 31 just comes off after a few gear changes. I've changed the nylon ring for a new one, no difference.

Inspected the brakes today as the nearside front was whistling constantly. Calliper is sticking, one badly worn pad and one "as new" pad on there, so replaced that, fitted a bigger, stronger hose clip to the oil line that popped off, took the seat covers off and washed them, and also fitted the Smiths heater we have had stashed away for a year and a half to the Moggy Minor and serviced it.

Quite a productive day, still no further on with the gearshift issue though! :lol:

I'd also like to know whatever came of this as it was an interesting effort
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!

If I remember it went how we predicted - not longterm

There was an excuse about how the van/ engine setup was separated not related to the van
Divorce/ illness/ money ect cant remember exactly

How do, Julian? I'm still driving the Caravelle that you once told me belonged to a mate of yours. It's just had a back-to-bare-metal resto. It's hard to believe it's been nearly twenty years since I bought it.

Does this ring a bell? I also came to yours to buy a factory P/S setup for it off you.
