Lovely originals, bikes of my youth, solid thumpers, you knew you were riding a British motorcycle in those days not like the mobile sewing machines of today, 40 year olds think that Honda and the likes of Yamaha's are classic bikes but have never in the main ridden a real oiler like a true...

Just spoken to my wife who deals with this every day in her job ( Property management and commercial/ private lettings) and she says that the previous owner would have to sign a letter to say that they agree for the service invoices to be passed on to who ever bought the vehicle, if they do not...

I agree with Dave on this Phil, as with the service invoice comes customer address and usually telephone number too, so would I presume come under Privacy laws. But then so does the handbook and service book so are they not now allowed to be passed on with a 1-10 year old car either. It's a...

Your right I remember when if the car engine broke down you got out a role of tools from the boot and 90% of the time you were on your way within half an hour, not any more even the AA or RAC can't help 90% of the modern computer brained vehicles now, yes I do yearn for the old days in some...

For what reason would you spend ,£287 just so that you could change a parameter on your van when for 30years if I needed to change anything I'd wait till either I got home or I walked out to the van and changed it manually for nothing. Yes if you already own the equipment and have paid £200+...

Game changer it maybe Dave but at that price I think I'll stay with changing it in blue tooth range, I really can not imagine when I'm desperately going to want to change any settings while I'm away from the van, innovative but a costly gimmick. 😆Phil

Thanks Nabsim, one never knows 😄.Phil

We've booked into a campsite In Cornwall on 9 Aug, as we live in Wales we wondered what will happen if we get stopped coming back into Wales after two weeks on the Darkside if our First minister is still procrastinating over whether we can move further than 5 miles from home, let alone having...

Wife said she had to deliver some paperwork this morning so I suggested I took her on the Bonneville, was only 10 miles there, so off we went and ended up doing 55 miles round the country roads in the Vale of Glamorgan, beautiful, warm sun, quiet roads had a great ride out for the first time in...

Its unnerving how many folk are not aware of axle wieght limits, most people see 3.5tons and assume that if weighed on a weigh bridge or VOSA hidden road weighing bridge that so long as they are within the max weight limit all is fine, it is not actually fine, if you exceed axle weight limits...

Sorry Phil ( Millie master,) I've sort of hijacked your thread,🙃.Phil

Not to worry G as I say I had the Sundance for ten years and loved it, did 48 thousand miles in it mostly on the continent but nearly every weekend in the UK and never had a scrape, we motorhomers tend to drive more slowly than the average driver, still not progressed to a trilby yet though 😁...

I have to say I saw a program once on the survivability of someone travelling in the back of a coach built motorhome a few years ago, they did a crash dummy test with a well known make I can't remember which but the end result was horrific, at the time I had recently bought new a Swift...

Yes Euro, Sorry I forgot yours was not a conversion done privately, but of course it does relate to those of us who bought a van and converted it. Phil

I read something like that also but my last post from .gov was made In 2010 and mentions nothing about the 2007 edit, so who do you believe in this instance, it's all a bit murky and pretend illegal as I have never yet come across any direct information saying it is defo illegal, it all seems to...

Just come across this, "Converting a van to carry passengers in the rear" .gov This is an extract. Side-facing seatbelts Our advice is that passengers are safest in a forward or rearward facing seat equipped with a lap belt or, preferably, a three-point belt. Although side facing seats, with...

Hi Eurobiker, yes if you look at construction and use regs the side facing seat laws on seat belts is nebulous in the extreme, it is almost as though they are trying to make it look as though its illegal but realise that there is infact a loophole that has not been addressed and are just hoping...

I find that a lot of the better brands have a screw on cap for after use, however once opened regardless of manufacturer or product there is then an accelerated shelf life, which even when well sealed at the nozzle can be short in so much as a week or three let alone months. Phil

I think the only thing I would change is provision for a third travelling seat. It hasn't really bothered us but there have been occasions when we would like to have taken a grandchild with us. We have travelled with an adult on the back bench seat as it seems to me to be legal over the age of...

I think you'll find pneumatics would not have the same support qualities as air is compressable and oil is not so you would be walking on air as they say. Phil
