Every day I have a look at what is up for sale on Car & Classic and just now and again something very unusual comes up for sale and this is one of them. I have never seen anything like this before and with a goodly amount of work it could become an amazingly practical machine...

Oh bugger, that sounds terrible Ken, I feel for you. Do I gather that you are not into DIY repairs by the reading of your post? And might it be that your insurance will not cover the repairs? It might be best if you could put up a few images of the damage so that we can all give you a bit of...

The other day I posted about my problems with a leaking rooflight and that problem has now been put to bed........................ However, like a total prat, I forgot to fully cover the shower tray when I was working on the roof, where I was using petrol to clean off all the old Stixall...

Chris, I found some kind of high quality mastic product in my locker this afternoon and it was still in perfect condition, so I have done as I wrote earlier and have used a combination of both Stixall and this mastic goo. Sorry to say that it took me all bloody day to do what I used to do in 10...

Do you have any idea how it is supposed to be applied David, brush or simply squirt? Phil ps. My roof is now back together and if any water gets through what I have just done then I will be amazed!! But I am now thinking of my other rooflights and mushroom vent.

But Chris, as an ex caravanner of the old flimsy type of construction for 30 + years, one of the pet hates of everyone I knew as well as myself was anything like a mastic, which surely Carafax is ?? The reason being that in time it dries out and then cracks, allowing moisture in. In my former...

When I built 'Millie' I was very aware of all of the dangers and associated pitfalls of fitting rooflights to panel van roofs that have strengthening ridges in them. I spent ages searching around various scrap piles at my local UPVC double glazing installation companies before finding sections...

Welcome aboard David, I hope you will become involved and start sharing your experiences. Phil

Beautifully built but as far as I am concerned a terrible layout and an appalling use of space with zilch leisure seating area and it doesn't look as if the front seats will swivel, so where on the earth would you sit. Phil

Some great work going on here

I need to change the orange flexible gas pipe in 'Millie' as it has reached/passed the date that is printed on the tube. So what should I use, some more of the orange stuff that more than likely will have been in stock for some time, eating into the time interval change date printed on the...

Do you have any plans to change the colour of your vanbulance ? By the way, I honestly think that is a cracking conversion and so very practical, have you blanked off the rear doors as well? Phil

If using the same name "Sprinter 1 cup" on the other forums, I can't find him over there

Well spotted there, no more replies from me until the OP has joined up to take full advantage of all 3 sites Phil

As I have been caught out in the past, I am sorry but I will never ever loan any of my tools and equipment out just in case they get broken...... But at times I have been known to offer my time and equipment to help someone out (just as long as my Mrs. isn't watching) with items such as...

I tried to design a similar type of wet room/loo for a paraplegic wheel chair bound friend and I found that although in principal it was possible we both came to the conclusion that it was, in such a confined space, practically impossible to achieve and that problem would be compounded ever more...

Sad but oh so very true!!

Check the fuse first Robert

Just like Phil and Nabism I had similar problems with dirty igniters and gas jets, hopefully all that yours needs Robert is a darned good clean, I also pricked out the jet using a very fine bit of brass wire. Can you actually hear the piezo igniter working which should be a click, click, click...

These days our house policy is that wherever and when ever possible, even if it costs some more, to never buy anything directly from China, added to the fact that whenever possible we won't now buy anything made in China which is of course bloody difficult to do as they have us all by our short...
