That isn't the kind of piece of kit that you can buy from Toolstaion is it?

Bootiful, I wish I was there sharing a glass or ten with you and your most beloved....

The brilliance of the EBC greenstuff pads that I have fitted to the Master, my daily driver Beemer and my little toy is that they make next to no brake dust, they also exhibit an exceptionally good feel, so as your local factor stocks their products, you might want to give the green stuff a try...

Phil; when it comes to brakes, I always buy any of my parts from a company called EBC, https://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk. Not the cheapest, but anyone you speak to there knows their stuff and they are widely used by people doing competition......... I have their pads and discs fitted to both ends...

And a tank that size carrying that large amount of water would need to have internal baffles

When considering the installation of a water system into any of our vans, unless an enormous fresh water tank is fitted, then water wastage should be avoided at all costs! I haven't calculated the different capacity/flow rate between one diameter pipe and another, but I do know that it is very...

As we don't ever normally do make any DD payments (I think prior to setting up this one with the DVLA we had only ever arranged one previously) and it isn't ever me that arranges anything with our banks but the boss who is, by the way, a very capable woman! Yesterday she started looking into...

Back in early March I entered into a new direct debit agreement with the DVLA for the continuation of the VED as of the 1st April, at the time any kind of Covid 19 isolation policy and the closing of all caravan and camping sites hadn't even been thought of. Then on knowing that all sites were...

When considering engine coolant, I presume this will have quite a high level of some kind of antifreeze diluted in it, if that is the case, then I am not sure how it will get on with copper pipes?

If my memory serves me correctly I used 8 mm push fit water pipe throughout my installation, the reason being that there is far less wasted water when turning on the hot tap as well as of course the ease of fitting it. As for people using copper pipe, apart from the cost, I would always be...

I honesty do believe Robert that if you ever do decide to fit some solar panels to the sides of your van that if they were a near full depth, like you see with glaziers vans, then they would be exceptionally accident prone, whereas if they were (say) only 60 cm. deep then they would be up out of...

Late to this thread, but if anyone is going to fit additional solar panels then surely they ought to be mounted in such a way that they are fully effective? So if this is the case, then if they are mounted to the upper sides of a van with their top edges level with the top point of the roof on...

Amazing this modern technology!

That is a gorgeous open water kayak, so classic in line, however with those sharp deck lines, what's it like to right after capsizing?

Is that a single or twin seat kayak? As usual from you, superb photography.

Don't get me started on the merits of physical fixings over adhesive................. Fingers crossed @Gav that your paint is well and truly adhered to the metal. But going by the amount of Sikaflex you have used there shouldn't be any problems and you will enjoy the supply of free electricity...

That's the strangest looking solar panel I have ever seen ;)

That's the strangest looking solar panel I have ever seen ;)

I built my entire 'Millie' project around the space needs of my beloved Spaniels of which we have 3. As for the floor, well I laid a 12mm thick marine ply floor over batons which were laid over 25mm thick Cellotex, then treated the entire marine ply floor to 3 coats of satin varnish. Finally...

No matter how hard we try to keep them clean I am afraid that 12 hairy paws make keeping the floor clean, at times, more than somewhat of a problem which is why the flooring I used is large section, heavy duty, industrial barrier mats that I then cut to shape and fitted. They don't stain, they...
