Re: Non-Starter
Are the plug leads going to the correct plug. Maybe the condenser. Where abouts are you. I've got a 72 austin van.

Re: Steering rack gator
I did take the track rod ends off, forgot to grease it, but all looked good and well oiled up.

Re: Steering rack gator
Well I thought I would post this here. My mot is due end of the month. Adviseries were brake flexible pipes on front and steering gators. At least every thing I was doing was in the same area and doing one helped doing the other. Got the track rod ends off no problem, didn't even have to use the for...

Re: Wall of Death
The spinning tennis ball lifting the brick impressed me.
I've just built a pizza /bread oven, got me thinking they could build a dome above the wall now that would be worth watching

Re: Teardrop trailer project for sale Devon.
Not particularly helpful BMC. I'm a man who's made a mistake, can see that and am trying to rectify it and give someone the chance of having a better starting point than nothing for a teardrop before I burn it. 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't grumpy. Had to meet him sooner or later. Fairplay, why £100. W...

Re: Starting handle how to?
At this years National Rally, part of the planned branch challenge was to start the club car on the handle and drive it thought the cones. The first person managed to put it straight through the bottom of the radiator :o Always lift the bonnet before you fit it so you can see where your putting it!...

Re: Advice before buying a van
Neil is totally right. I bought mine in 1999, it went on the road 3 or 4 years ago. I didn't know how good my van was until I had had it 10 to 15 years. Mine hasn't yet done 50k, and the chassis hasn't seen a welder or paint or underseal http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy37/diggerjones/ThorntonAn...

Re: Fitting 'buddy seats' in van/pick-up
