The side trims on a Renault Master (etc. etc.) which run at hub level on both sides of the van between the wheelarches, does anyone know how to remove them without breaking all the hidden plastic clips ???? My reason for wanting to remove them is because I spotted a small area of the dreaded...

From my recent experiences there are now some far better products than Waxoil that have far higher rust protection and access properties. I always used to use Waxoil during my Land Rover days and it always narked me that you had to keep re-applying it year after year. These days I have been...

I can't even begin to imagine what you are writing about Geoff as such my lips and typing fingers will stay well away from suggesting anything to do with avid worm infestations!! But good as the Transit might be in some peoples eyes, I for one would never consider buying one because as far as I...

That is a very interesting read Nick, and now I suggest you ought to be giving every consideration to the application you will be sending off to the DVLA, which, should be in my opinion reflect as thoroughly proffesional approach as your build and not some thrown together mish-mash of words and...

I agree with Phil, so often a converters attempts at constructing their campervans are nothing short of absolute amateurism, most especially if they are built inside an ex ambulance...... Just ask yourself if you have ever set eyes on a professional conversion that had bright yellow paintwork...

Driving around the country as I do, I can well understand and appreciate the DVLA adopting a far harder line when it comes to the re-classification of the conversions presented to them. I was only on Black Rock Sands last Friday and there were quite a few conversions to be seen, of which, I am...

I saw one of those fully converted for sale on the https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/ just a few days ago, it looked absolutely stunning and was nowhere close to that bonkers price!! Or there might be someone who would like to convert this one https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1129558 Phil

Thanks for that Gary, just as I had suspected, yes I know the screws....... it is the tightening of them that causes me so much concern!! Phil

I know these rules and regulations does make you wonder why the writers haven't disappeared up their own back sides!!

My job is all done now, it took me about 45 mins. to do everything. I was amazed how dirty all the fluid was that came out and by dirty I mean it was of a far darker colour than the new fluid I was putting in, but I was pleased/relieved to see that there weren't any small black particles in the...

As you possibly know Phil the MPK has two pieces of polycarbonate that goes to make up the ??? bubble thing that lets in the light as well as allowing partial ventilation when the panel is in the closed/down position. Unlike more expensive rooflights that you can see through, on the MPK's the...

Although it is very nice and beautifully made, what I can't understand is why someone who goes to these lengths and costs carrying out a conversion doesn't go for the best type of insulation, namely spray foam?

I have 3 MPK rooflights fitted to 'Millie' which overall I am pleased with as they do what they are supposed to do............ however.........., after four years used their insides are somewhat dirty and I would like to clean them. And there in lies a problem as there doesn't appear to be any...

Well said Trev.

With the exception of the Ford Transit which melts away even faster than a Merc!!

Welcome aboard Frayer, I hope you find your conversion as totally captivating as most of the reast of us. A quick word of warning though, as your van is a Sprinter I beg you to make certain you treat all the rust you will undoubtedly find before starting your build as sadly these mechanically...

I should have done this job a long time ago as the lack of a decent built in washing line has been causing us problems since day one of our adventures in 'Millie'. So yesterday, with both back doors open I attached a short piece of 25 x 50 lath towards the top of both doors, I then screwed in 2...

I totally agree with you Mark, just like so many official paperwork, the various Government departments don't appear to write with joined up writing! If you are nearly at the point of applying for a change of the V5 with the DVLA, if I were you I wouldn't even mention the fact that yours...

I am just about to change the brake fluid on'Millie' as it is almost 4 years since I last did so and that I noticed the other day that it was looking quite dark. My van is a 2008 Renault Master and I can't recall what the bleeding sequence is...................... my memory is suggesting that...

In all my years living over there I only knew a very limited Brit. ex-pats who actually bought new French cars and most certainly not one who bought a 2nd hand French LHD car, the reasons being that: - a. French garages by nature never discount new cars. b. French 2nd hand cars simply don't...
