The evidence is a service check sheet from the garage with relevant boxes ticked. Now, whether the items have been checked or the boxes just ticked is a different matter. It’s the paper evidence that’s required. Some unscrupulous garages will report defects that don’t exist to generate business...

In the uk new vehicle servicing can be carried out by any vat registered garage as long as genuine parts and correct oil is used. Also, you’d need to have evidence that all aspects of the service and checks were carried out. This will not invalidate your vehicle warranty.

Any decent quality silicone spray should get things sliding...

One old double strip lamp on the ceiling that won’t get much used, assorted wall lights all led.

Moon gazing hare...

There’s one on each side on the rear quarter...

Had a couple of folk asking about the hare in my avatar. It’s a sticker from hippymotors.co.uk. They’ve a lot of interesting and different designs and are very good to deal with.

A great vehicle and great value in reality. As noted above, all the right mechanical bits. You have to wonder how much it cost when it was built....

It is on the side of my sprinter! Moon gazing hare sticker from hippymotors.

So, there you go, the Beast in all her glory! The overhead lockers in the bedroom ripped out of an old caravan. Shower room not finished, hence no photo. Cooker just stood in place, will be secured. Cushions still awaiting their covers. There’ll be a curtain between the hab and the cab. Floor...

I see there’s talk about the forum being quiet etc. Well, as a newbie here feeling my way around I guess it’s up to the likes of me to throw in some new content. The van isn’t far off being finished now. But, before I show it off to the world (ie this forum!) I should give you a bit of...

Thanks Phil, I feel a bit of a fraud, still building and not using! This weeks delight is a dose of labyrinthitis, the delights of old age....

Remember you can check mot history for free online at the dvla...

I’m new on here and just been looking through your build, fantastic! It’s so refreshing to see a van that isn’t grey with grey and a splash of grey. Well impressed, keep up the good work!

The roof job looks neat, amazing what can be made from other people’s throw aways. Looking forward to seeing it progress, good luck and ten out of ten from the environmentalists!

I took the factory supplied plywood floor out of my sprinter two years ago and left it outside, not one sign of any rot or distortion, amazing stuff. A neighbour took it a couple of weeks ago to make a new floor for his rhib. The last time I was at Cabmasters in Lancashire he had a huge pile of...

No bother, the ice went nicely in my gin....
