So we are still here and the van is fine. Nice new fuel pipe in and pump working again so panic over.......and petrol back in the tank where it is meant to be. Need to revisit how to do pics although no real great trips to post, this year been mainly an occasional run out to keep everything...

Oh wow do I like that, I think it is bigger than my house, when is the hydraulic lift going in:D

Take Radiator hoses if you have time to get some;) Like Panky says there are mods you can do to help vapourisation but given you can make tea while you wait not so bad in the short term:D. Ours squeezes in the garage I just had to raise the door height and it just gets under the roof now. If...

Nope, got a weber carb and electronic ignition but other than that standard.

Depends on the incline and wind direction we have overdrive and 55-60 is normal straight road flat speed, although it could be slower/faster based on the speedo accuracy. borrowed a sat nab once and it reckoned 72 on the motorway. On hills with a head wind I would describe speed as slow
