My winter project is to attempt to restore my wardrobe / cupboard units in my Westy. The previous owner thought it would be a good idea to cut a couple of 6x9 speakers into wardrobe which I want to remove and fill - then re-laminate/veneer the unit to hopefully make it look like new.... or at...

My van has just started to develop a bit of bogging (if that's the right term) when pulling away, where I go to pull away and it doesn't want to go, I have to dip the clutch and go again, it seems to be when warm but runs smoothly otherwise. Is this the timing or something else? I'm running a...

Hope this is the right forum. I've been looking at various options of increasing my storage space in/around my van for my trip around Europe. I was wondering what people use (if anything) to store stuff on their roof racks and keep them dry(ish)? I'm considering getting something along the...

Has any one used a Fiamma Bike rack cover with their bike rack? Just wanting a bit of advice as the Fiamma website says not to use it if your bikes sit above the roof height of the van? I'm thinking if its tied down enough it shouldn't be a problem... Any experiences?
