After reading some of the posts on here by people, i know she is maybe new,excited and learning lots but how about 'we' make an effort to help and be constructive as opposed to destructive?
Just an observation not a critisism

Thought she was looking for a seat not an interior. Now who is being destructive then? Cooper is going all over the place like a jumping bean with misinformation and misunderstanding. Yesterday she couldnt get a window winder off and now she is talking about solid shaft de couplers ..... that is an observation!

You send them away to be repaired, either to Brickwerks or to the guy in Switzerland ....

Jason aka motfailia has a caravelle for sale that's really a breaker (so I've heard) and that has a velle rock and roll rear seat in it, go and flutter your eyelashes at him, just make sure Pauline doesn't spot you

You wanted a Syncro and got one

Now you need a new VC then it's a "working" Syncro....

As for legality of rear seats - if it says "motorcaravan" on the V5 then anyone can sit in the back, seatbelts or not afaiK.

(I do not, necessarily, condone the transport of un restrained rear passengers - for their own safety or mine)

Please read previous answers on various threads, but basically it's a refurb item - you send in yours plus a few quid and get a replacement....

Your being arguementative when there really is no need.
I was offering assitance instead of pulling words/sentances apart. I would IMHO advise against fitting just the seat as it would look quite silly without the panels that wouldnt fit anyway being a RHD. thats the only point i was suggesting/offering.
Youre right though, shes young and excited, thats not a crime. Heaven help the server if everyones threads were as lengthy as hers.
I just think some of the posts on here have gone from being good natured to some being quite caustic.

I agree! got to say old coops there has done ok to hold on this long and now has got a van...i did doubt it would happen but it has...lets just embrace the fact?

What type of recovery straps/rope systems do you use?

Why? is it stuck? horses for courses when i comes to it but genrallly when your stuck your dont have much choice as its normally at home!!

Cooper ..... rule one for offroading

Never go alone .....

Very true!

My mate got stuck in deep mud had to get the tractor to pull car out. If i had a recovery rope i could of done it.

So hence i am going to buy one and need advise on which type to get.

just flat strap type i reckon for that as a rope will take up space....are you not crippled with 2wd anyway tho?

Just did a shoddy job of tinting the window at the sides and back. NEVER again.

I fancy a roof rack buy cant have the one that fits on the gutter as i have a pop top.

Can anyone tell me what to look for (type in) so i can find one that attaches o pop top.?
Cheers
