A few weeks ago there was a thread about it being quiet on here. Ever since the number of posts and the general activity has gone up by leaps and bounds and it is only by our forum being active and hopefully far, far more active, that it will gain in popularity. So @reiverlad , go on man grab...

With regards to pipes and the life of them, I have a question to ask. Just like with tyres, flexible gas pipes like the one you have just purchased @Red Dwarf which have a date stamped on them, they should be changed at recommended intervals, however if the pipe appears to be in excellent...

@reiverlad that read was a good one........... But why not from now on go and grab life by the balls and start your own thread, that way more people will see it and you will get far more answers. TTFN Phil

Doesn't it hurt having to chuck away new stuff that has passed the use by date! I am in the process of packing up my garage in readiness for yet another house move and I have undertaken a very long overdue clear out of quite literally hundreds of £'s worth of screws, nuts, bolts, springs etc...

@wildebus Dave; Back in the days when @Squiffy and I were members of the SBMCC forum we were fortunate enough to have as a member someone who went by the name of Lister Diesel or rather Peter and he, just like you, was an electrical guru and had put up on their archives numerous basic wiring...

One thing for sure, I will still be here batting on this crease even if I have only done one build it is something that is so ingrained in me that I so greatly enjoy every single moment of being here. So Phil, from another Phil, keep up the good work and I for one will continue spreading the...

I am sorry to say but I share the views expressed by my old mate @Squiffy and @SquirrellCook , I always become suspicious when I see lengthy YouTube videos! I am on quite a few Facebook groups and I can't help but yawning whenever I see participants self publicising. Phil

Exactly Phil, 100% Phil

I have seen this kind of layout before and I know the person who built it ripped it out after his first few nights away as it so limited access. From a personal point of view, I honestly don't think it would be too long before the beautifully upholstered cushions started edging sideways during...

The problem is these days is IMHO that people have become accustomed to accepting substandard service or workmanship. It is bad enough that the motorhome and campervan manufacturers (sadly those that are predominantly UK based) have such appalling production and quality control standards. [If...

Does anyone know the legal position with regards to turning the gas off when driving..... or for that matter the insurance position?

I for one can fully understand your decision.

On my Renault Master, the sliding side door must have been opened a zillion times as it is an ex shop fitters van with over 100k under its' wheels and the door used to be quite noisy and quite stiff, however I now use a spray grease quite regularly. Normally before every trip away. I was...

I 100% agree @voyager The manufacturers are bad enough for allowing shoddy workmanship leave their (UK factories) passing the buck onto their mostly woefully dreadful dealers of which arguably about the worst is Brownhills! Oh so sadly it would appear from watching the various forums and...

Thank you for reminding me of my OP Trev., I am very pleased to say the Zafira my Niece ended up buying came from a garage just outside Ipswich, who, it would appear, are out of the very top most drawer of excellent customer service and honesty. The car she bought honestly was like new and was...

How on the earth, if it came to it could a garage prove categorically that "all aspects of the service and checks were carried out"?

As I have written before on this thread all the Master/Movano/Nissan?? had fully galvanised bodies from the 2004 model year onwards. One of the most important jobs for us converters to do when we cut holes in the sides or the roofs of our galvanised vans is to throughy smooth down the cut edges...

Your post above makes sense @HarryInHudds, I used to live in France where cars and vans simply don't depreciate like they do in other countries, most especially the UK. Because of this and as I preferred driving a RHD vehicle over there (as I felt it was safer to be as far away as possible from...

Dave; I did hear once that it was an optional extra to have Crafters treated

@HarryInHudds I know of a few Master/Movanos ambulances that have done over 500k on the same engine and gearbox, so my 'Millie' at 130k is almost still running in! Fuel consumption on my 2.5 dCi 100 is almost always in the mid 30's, however on one 5,000 mile tour of France I got it to nudge...
