Trust me my wife decided to have a clear out today and guess what I came across, this is totally coincidence, this is a picture of me heating up some cellulose paint prior to spraying something or other. So much for health and safety in those days 🤣, however here I am safe and sound at 70 😊...

Thanks, interesting. Yes about 30 years ago I had a drip fed old cast iron waste oil heater that I used in the garage and I remember now it was a sod to light as in the winter the oil was so thick it would not drip fast enough to keep the burn pan alight, so I'd have to light old rags soaked in...

Would be interested in a link to that. Phil

90 days before my license was due to expire at 70years I sent off my D2 and D4 (This was to keep my grandfather rights) on Sept 11 it arrived at DVLA Swansea by Royal mail special delivery signed for. I then sat back and waited the ten weeks that they were claiming it would take due to the...

I've got an xlwb Ducato 130 that I've had from new 2014, when I first bought it and test drove, as you noticed it sounded very road noisy but drove just like a car. However once built with all the internals and externals complete it then became very quiet and at 3325kg bridge weight ready to...

I've been running a Honda 10i for 17 years Changed the oil once in those years and not touched it other than put petrol in, its economic, virtually silent compared to any other generator I've come across on the many sites I've been on. OK it doesn't run my microwave, but it runs everything else...

We're at Dare Valley Country Park for the long weekend 😁.Phil

What's happening lads seems that this forum change has silenced everyone?? Phil.

Further to previous, I asked my sister in law what she had put on her joining application for C&MC she said "I just put down Camper van " no make or model just Camper van. Phil

The main reason we joined is for cheaper ferry crossing which is considerably cheaper and the use of their CL network and as mentioned the local rallies though you can join a rally at the other end of the country if you wish to, the rally fees are cheap much cheaper than camp sites and can be...

Belay the last post my wife has just reminded me that her sister has just in the last 8 weeks joined the Caravan and motorhome club with her Mercedes Vito self build camper van and no such question was apparently asked !! I've just checked the New members site and it's down for maintenance so...

I suppose because we've been members for 35 years it's possible that the question was never asked I don't know, our membership just continues 🤔. Phil

Things have changed dramatically over the last year or so with the Caravan and motorhome club, as you say they used to be very choosy as to who could join but younger folk are now getting control of the club. We have been members of the club for 35 years and I have to say that we initially used...

Do you mean they will not insure you as motor caravan Dave, or are you saying they will not allow you to join the Caravan and motorhome club, if that's what your suggesting this would be incorrect they are even now accepting tents even. There is no designated criteria for what is classed as a...

Same here, I've had 8 cheap g4 style led main and reading lights for 7 years and not had to replace any of them also strip under locker leds, I changed to the type of leds Dave is using in my previous van 16 years ago and they lasted at least 6 years and were still working when I sold the van...

Maybe you could advise a price for this water heater Craige as I can not seem to find it on the Internet. Phil

Yes I realised that Craige, and it is something that I would be interested in in the future 😄. Phil

I found this very interesting. Came across this by accident, nothing to do with Craig's links I was looking at welding aluminium utube vids and this was one of the follow on links. Phil

Yes I did say that I couldn't say about Lavaner, but unfortunately the experience I had has put me off Ali Express for the foreseeable future, it must be really upsetting for genuine traders using Ali Express but the few are spoiling it for the many and there does not seem to be a controlling...

Nothing to do with Lavaner other than they use Ali Express, last year I decided to go for one of these Chinese Android GPS map/radios and went for the Ducato direct fit replacement, the cheapest I could find was on Ali Express can not remember the company now but I ordered one from them and put...
