Ie replacing the original vinyl ones not putting on some dodgy 70's sheep skin ones. Picked up some EB replacement covers from Spirit of the 50's at Stanford Hall this year. Any advice or threads would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Nick & Zile :)

Just had my van set up and rolling roaded, its putting out 76bhp at the rear wheels which is I guess around 100 at the fly wheel about right for my engine spec. However not long after this was done (and after a bit of a thrashing) I have noticed a intermitant stuttering between around 2200...

Eh up Araon (and anyone else who has been away) Did you have a good holiday (limited EB action noted from one of your posts)? Regards N&Z

Thanks for everyones input re: Rebuild v's Roofcap we have on balance decided to work towards a rebuild. The Camper Shop can supply the majority of parts but I've still got some questions on this (this could run and run this one!). Our roof springs are really tired anyone know of a source for...

Hi folks wondering if you could help us out. Would really like a fully restored roof but finances may dictate otherwise, I hence ask you feed back on the alternatives as water is now pissing in (with the roof shut) Mainly through leaky bellows and the roof vent I think. Is this conversion any...

Hi all, can a van that has been previously fitted with a Devon pop top be fitted with a Dormobile type lifting roof? Or is the Dormobile roof shorter? One of the reasons I ask is that I really could do with the headroom. :) ! If this is a possibility anyone know of a Dormobile type top for...

Does anyone know where I can replacement Stainless steel wiper blades from? Also beginning to think I imagined it but I could have sworn I saw a mag review of a stainless/ chrome sliding door sill cover but can I find it anywhere. Any ideas Cheers Nick

Hi all any recommendations on Awnings, there is only the two of us so the awing will be primarily used to increase living/ storage space and (very0 occasionally as extra sleeping space. Regards Nick & Zile

Can anypone recommend an engine specialist in the Midlands (esp near Leicester). My 1776 is way down on power and I need to get it checked out. All the ones I know are in the South, South West or North. Cheers Nick

Are the officially quoted figures for a 1600cc the power output at the rear wheels or at the flywheel (eg 50 for a late model motor). Sorry to pick your brains again guys. Thanks in advance Big Nick

Got to replace some tired rubbers on our 69, got some good quality replacements from Machine 7 (nice guys by the way) but whilts I figured they would be a push in replacement (like my old 63 Bug) there appears to be some adhesive involved on the ones currently fitted is this the norm, if so some...

Teething Troubles with our recently purchased 69 that has not been used extensively for a while, started her today (after a week) ran for a few mins but the genny light stayed on. Could this be down to low charge or could this be more expensive? The van runs a split charging system for a...

What does the dash switch on its own on the right side of steering column (on a right hooker) it looks like a light swich but mine at present does not appear to do anything! (note to self must get manual). Forgive my ignorance. Regards Nick

Hi all another question I'm afraid, does anyone have any experience of these, are they effective, do they add much to the all up weight, easy to fit etc. Many thanks in advance Nick

Hi guys are thee any differences in the sliding door and engine cover on the 69 model year and other early or late model bays. I need to source some rust free panels this year so need to know what to look for. Thanks in advance Nick
