Looks like it’s been granted a stay of execution

There was a whole lot of carnage created by the global Covid situation. Shippers going bust, millions of containers in the wrong places. Many shippers would only move their own containers for ages so containers owned by individual companies were stranded. This may well explain how its initially take...

That was a nice easy fix, well done.

I have a side conversion, the water tank for that is behind the rear offside wheel with a filler cap on the outside just above and an overflow next to the sink drain at the rear bumper. Inside the tank is a submersible pump, when the tap is lifted a little switch inside sends power to the pump which...

I've just checked a lock barrel that I have from a tailgate I've stripped to replace my rusty one. There are only three numbers stamped on the lever on the end of the lock, nothing on the barrel itself. Clearly this isn't a drivers door barrel but I'd have thought they'd all be the same just for eco...

I replaced my rear Discs, shoes and pads a few months ago. Afterwards I was disappointed with the effectiveness of the handbrake so went through everything again to make sure all was correctly assembled and adjusted. Clearly the new shoes need to bed in to the drums but I checked the contact area wh...

The difference between the early and later 4x4 boxes is the wiring and encoder on the shift lever on the side of the box. Alacrity swapped my later box for an earlier one swapping the later encoder to the early box too so the wiring harness was unchanged. Top work and very reasonable too, highly rec...

I too have a good amount of rust around the bottom surface of the tailgate and have looked at the repair / replace question. The problem as you say is finding a worthwhile replacement many being just as rusty or dented, then there is the added cost of a respray to match the vehicle. For this reason ...

My van has a full side conversion. The water tank is housed in the dead space at the bottom of the unit, good in that it makes use of an inaccessible area so isn't wasting usable storage space, bad in that because it's inaccessible it was difficult to replace the pump when I needed to. The filler fo...

Mine certainly isn't coming from a leak in the rear heater, it's been disconnected and the pipes linked under the van. Like you I have owned the van for a good few years and it's only in recent times that it's been dripping from the sill. I think mine is rain getting in somewhere. I first noticed it...

I too have water that drips from the OS sill exiting behind the front mudflap. I used to park the van facing uphill and noticed it dripping after a run on a dry day and parked facing downhill. I havent been able to establish where it's getting in and am convinced there's too much of it to be condens...

I'd agree with Flanners, with rusty bodywork in my experience what you see at first is just the tip of the iceberg. If the MoT guy has picked up these issues then it's a safe bet that the situation is worse when you start stripping back paint, under seal etc. I don't do bodywork on other folks cars ...

I had the same trouble with my van. It turned out to be the motor that moves the mechanism. It didn't have the strength to fully move the the latch which I expect is the same small movement that you mention. I was expecting to see a solenoid when I opened it up but it is indeed a motor. I was able t...

Must be a virus or something. Mine too has recently packed up. My van has a full side conversion and the tank is buried at the bottom of the unit only accessible through the little door where the gas bottle lives at the back. I think when it was fitted the tank was the first thing in, then the rest ...

A siren type of horn, possibly leftover from a previous alarm.
