Brilliant news

Now, now lads, lets not have 2 of this sites oldest and most respected members have a right royal tit for tat, lets just agree to disagree please?

The risk of any installation such as the one Dave is suggesting is that in a hurry it is oh so easy to forget to do the obvious!

That is the very best description of the current state of affairs!

EXACTLY, well said there Phil............. It doesn't bother me either as mine is correctly registered as well. However the DVLA's stance might have been brought on by so much absolute dross being presented to them over the years as well as, no doubt, truly dreadful applications! Phil

There must surely be a way to end this stupidity? As we both know, our own 1st builds were successfully re-registered as a Motor Caravan, so what has changed? However in current state of political and economic turmoil, it is highly unlikely that any approaches to the elected representatives of...

I will leave others to reply to your question about the flooring, my concern is with regards to your van. The Iveco Daily is a brilliant van with superb, strong mechanicals, however their bodies are more than somewhat prone to the dreaded rust bug and one of the worst (and oft invisible) areas...

Phil; I too dislike killing any living creature with the exception of rodents, mosquitos, midges, blue bottles, house flies and crane flies. As for spiders and their webs, if they can resist the suction of my powerful Black & Decker rechargeable portable vacuum, then they can live and even if...

My lightweight build has proven to be as good and strong now as when I originally finished it back in 2015, it also cost me next to nothing in real terms to produce and it is as strong as the proverbial Ox! I built a total frame work out of 25 x 50 roofing lats with all the joints being easy to...

Just like the rapid advancement of Hydrogen as the most sensible form of low cost energy, the World is I am sure going to see some truly eye opening advances in technology over the next few years. Hopefully each new invention won't be blocked, as it has been in former years, by the likes of BP...

I have just seen this:- https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/12/13/significant-breakthrough-this-new-sea-salt-battery-has-4-times-the-capacity-of-lithium?fbclid=IwAR0Y7YDB4em3L_VdCYlKB5HMys2So4ySe6LcXFsE2Vuz71fcxDZTBqo2oYE

This kind of thing doesn't surprise me one little bit as those darned Chinkies are not only capable of manufacturing some of the World's best products but also some of the most dangerous that look exactly the same! :mad::mad::mad:

I have just seen this very low mileage, very low price Merc. 811D for sale on a FB group which might be of interest to someone looking for something different https://www.facebook.com/groups/372385169760630

How's about the dogs danglies or even the dogs bo**ocks?

I was reading this reply by a member with the name of "Thistle" to a topic on the sister site Wild Camping and thought it was so relevant to members of this Group: - ___________________________________________________________________________________________ "Ah well that's a category I know...

Can I presume you mean Mileage? As my dad always used to say when considering buying an old car/van, it all depends on the condition of the general mechanical parts and most importantly of all, the body. The trouble with older Iveco Daily vans is that the bodies can and do rust and rust in a...

Phil; we used to split our sides when touring through France, stopping on Aires when at approx. 17.30 hrs every single French van there would turn on their TV' s and the dishes (like your new one) went up, with them all swivelling this way and that, just like a set from Strictly Come Dancing! Phil

Personally I had no problems at all with the DVLA, but I have followed a great many stories about people who have been experiencing a total brick wall of DVLA ineptitude allied also to an almost blanket zero interest by their staff!! Just like it has happened within the insurance industry where...

A subtle and generally great improvement and well worth the time and effort.

A Luton body is far easier to build a conversion in as the sides are very square (upright and straight) and they are generally taller, hence giving more usable internal height. The down sides, as far as I am concerned are (a) they are slightly more wieldy to drive and navigate through narrow...
