I need to hear more about that 306  smile

Interestingly the 306 was the first thing i noticed as i loved them cars. Well apart from my two as they were 1.9D but my works car was a 2.0 Turbo and it got driven like it was stolen 24 hours a day for two years with only the regular servicing for a leased car and took it all in its stride. I was reading about the dash cam but in my head it was like a Charlie Brown Cartoon when he was on the phone to his mum big_smile

I put cheap 20 odd quid reverse cameras in my camperbus and work van but more just for reversing rather than security. As they are not for security they are on the outside and less need for keeping the glass clean. They work well and only had to replace a camera once as water got inside the lens but as yet the replacement has bee good. I have a nextbase recorder for when i go on larger trips if i ever needed recordings for legal reasons.

Interesting, I could do with this to fix the leaks in my roof that I would never in a million years track down

Does it clean off? If it doesn't leave a mess I could just pour it into the roof rack gutters and let gravity do the rest


I never had to clean it as i used it on the inside where a fiberglass roof meets the steel sides of the bus. As it was getting cladding i just left it but, It is a white liquid that you can wipe away excess with a damp cloth and any dry spills can be washed away using white spirits.

This picture. I am not convinced this is the issue. (Yellow arrow) Why is it still dry but under the intake its wet?? My thinking is white arrow. This seem could be leaking down into the cab. For the sake of 15 quid get a large bottle of Captain Tolley. Its a very fine white liquid that gets in the smallest of cracks and expands as it dries making a permanent seal. Park one side into the kerb to allow the liquid to get deep into the corners. Run a bead along the seal and give it half an hour and give another bead. Give that a few hours and stick the other side in the kerb and repeat.

I now own an LDV Convoy mate. They are prone for leaks what i have cured with great success. For fine leaks this stuff is the dogs bollocks

You should have two rubber hoses at the top of each side of bulkhead. Make sure they are not blocked as the water will fill up and come in through heater vents.

Hi another question

cookers  whats everyone using 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UALXY6Q/ … _lig_dp_it

been looking at this and running it on a couple of Gaz bottles .

Anyone used it  will be used in the vav  but will build in an extractor and open a window when in use  .

thoughts please  .. Ta

I had one of them. Its been rebranded may a time over the years and mine was Go Outdoors version (Identical) Worked well on Calor gas but the grill is pants. Never used it in the van as i had a three sided awning what was used as an extra room (Kitchen) and if a warm night living room. Shop around as i paid 10 quid for an as new version.

#111 Re: General Discussion » MOT Pass! » 2023-04-21 22:14:01

Still booting myself for not buying that at the time. I wanted a turbo so much but i was just learning to weld and it looked way beyond me at the time.

Only 10 minutes? Those are rookie numbers

It really is driving me mad. Just now i am working my way up the floor, Bubble foil then thin ply but rather than buy a sheet of ply i am doing it with of cuts as i go. When i cut the bubble foil and put the scissors or Stanley knife down next is screw the bit ply down. Do you think i can find the bloody scissors/Stanley again mad

You got the ovel fuel filer housing with the ring clasp. Aftermarket ones as renowned for being crap to get air tight. I would try and feed the engine from a jerry can. If it fires up OK then you have an air issue. Also bleed the piped from pump to injectors .

Its hard having all that extra space you know. I am in the middle of a refit and struggling to find a location for the diesel heater. On the bright side i did put my drill down then spend the next 10 minutes looking for it again lol

Hi ya Casper,

Just a quick update on my posting on a wobble thought to be rear suspension etc…?

I found that a rear tyre had gone out of shape…!, so my trusty old van is now driving about like a new un…

Many thanks for your helpful advice…, which is what lead me to check the basics first..

Happy days. Pays being a tight Jock at times. big_smile

#117 Re: General Discussion » Steel wheels » 2023-02-17 21:43:15

Does seem an odd one. Only other thing i can think off is a tyre on squint? Look to make sure the rim line is even all the way round the wheel. See line under tyre size...

Rattle gun distorting the wheel?? Jury is out on that one as surly it would never properly be balanced or the balance machine would tell the correct weights to compensate. however this is a reason to test the spare on each corner as it may pin point what wheel out/warped.

#118 Re: General Discussion » Steel wheels » 2023-02-17 21:13:47

Ah not a Rolling Stones album post then  tongue

Have you took the spare off and swapped it with each corner? It would be rubbish to buy wheels only to find out you have a Buggered tyre or a weight missing on a drive shaft. Also would a low speed wabble not just be detectable up the steering making me think the issue is front wheel related. If correct try swapping both front to back and see if it goes away or characteristics change.

Long time for me also. Last time for me was my Honeymoon in Amsterdam some 20 years ago. I was a heavy smoker and went to work in Bradford in the 80's. Whatever year the big fire at Valley Parade. Spend over a year there wasted and came home. It was like a switch was turned on and i could not mix it with Booze so one had to go as i would me puking by 9pm so apart from sharing a Jay a handful of times i have never missed the stuff.

From what i gather you can get Bosch and Lucas ones but i will presume you need Lucas. They are the same what was in the LDV Pilots and i am sure i only paid £30 for a new one from this guy   https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/400convoy?_t … 3561.l2563

Or a "bus". Although I believe you get a free pass, your Convoy look like an ex-bus

Yeah it was a bus running round the Welsh Valleys for most of its life. MOT this Wednesday and if it does not pass i will be calling it anything but a bus  tongue

#123 Re: General Discussion » Sorry to be getting rid of my Dispatch. » 2023-02-04 23:59:53

Nowt wrong with going larger. I did it a few years back and bought an LDV Convoy. Remember VW comes with an idiot tax. Anything with VW embossed is double the price and if you start calling it a Vee Dub ill drive through to Livi myself and poke you in the eye with a blunt pencil.

I did run my old Lucas on biodiesel to limited success, I think you'd get away with 50:50 but it's hard to know for sure

I don't think anyone on the forum runs a Lucas on veg oil

Not pure no. I was under the impression you ran yours on a mix with the Lucas pump but unsure the percentage
