Have you tested them. ;)

I had a Volvo 740 one owner full service history 99k on the clock. All the running gear had to be replaced, I bet the oil filter had a wipe round and that was all.

Funny as I’ve just asked a Mercedes dealer if the manufacturers guarantee would still be valid if I didn’t have them service it. To my surprise they said yes providing I used genuine service parts.

I'd be tempted to use talcum powder first as a lubricant.

I think Murky started life as a coach, before being used it was converted to an ambulance. The workmanship of raising the floor was appalling. The original parts had a thick coating of something that held back corrosion. I found when repairing it at least four layers of patches! I ended up...

Leaving the window open with the felt in place for a few days should help form the felt. I'm guessing you tried the windows before fitting them? If they were ok before I expect you've bent the window :(

I have the original build sheets for Murky and Betty ( T2/LN1 and Vario ) Both had the option for anti corrosion treatment, but never received it. Just been looking at buying a new Vito and it's not on the options.

Today I finished of one of my window demisters, yes I know I don’t have double glassing but this should do the trick. What I have done is seal the ends of some aluminium box section. Drilled some small holes in the top face close to the glass. In the bottom I have fitted a dog legged aluminium...

A touch more progress over the last couple of days. As the top coating of the roof was finished I was able to fit the last miasol panel. Extra space was left between these two for the shower fan and solar panel junction boxes. I had some other solar panels to fill the last remaining space. The...

I was once assured that the leak will stop eventually!

What I have found with professional/competent people is, once they have finished a large project or even sometimes a small one for the first time. All they can think about is how poorly they did it and how much better it would be next time. Seeing it as an outsider for the first time you would...

But you have questions and ask.

There are a few versions of "Buffalo Board" the name being a trade name. The genuine stuff is coated both sides and bonded with the same stuff. What they do recommend and I've never seen done is seal the cut edges. The boot floor in Betty is the same stuff and over 20 years old with no sign...

I have a piece of the buffalo board I use a a kneeling board in the garden, been outside for a few years now. No sign of rotting or delaminating.

Has it escaped? ;)

The only thing I know of like that is Phenolic resin ply. Buffalo Board . http://www.advancedtechnicalpanels.co.uk/products/buffalo-board-birch-plywood

Well then Dave, do you have any plans to personalise the exterior?

More goodies tuned up today from Wildbus. (Common Camper) Dave's new name ;) Thanks Dave

Just use the mains chargers that came with the devices, we always have mains for the fridge.

USB sockets, never really thought of having them. Not got any 12 volt ones either. Very good lighting in Murky, so I’m not motorhoming in the dark ages. ;)
