Water cooled I agree Jim :) I've not got one but I hear babies love campervanning, need to start as you mean to go on lol !

The Dyno operator told me that he got valve bounce at around 5500rpm so I may change the cam and springs for a few more revs. I'm thinking of using the cam from a standard Hunter (Iron head) as it has a bit more overlap and lift than a Commer. I reckon I can change the cam in situ by radiator...

On the standard setup the carb gets a bit too hot from directly connected exhaust heat - so keeping it at a steady 100 ish degrees by water heating allows the setting up to be simpler, as it does not have to cope with varying temps :-)

Hi Martin Do you have any left?? I mean stock, not just left, I'd like a right one too, Right?

I wanted to fit a SU HIF Carb and different exhaust to replace the standard Zenith, and was looking around a few scrappies to see what I could find when I came across a Leyland Sherpa of around 1990 vintage. Being that petrol models were fitted with HIF's I lifted the bonnet expectantly only...

We use it at work on fork lift trucks in arduous conditions, freezer stores and brine (salty) environments and find it to be very good indeed, its a super fluid, stays at a light viscosity and 'heals' should it get wiped off a small area. In short WONDER STUFF !

Bore/piston condition won't affect oil pressure, bearings will though. Mike

Thanks for tip off Panky, however neither the MOT man or myself could find it with an inspection lamp and the van on a ramp ! Does anyone have a photo of the location on a removed axle? Feel a right numpty after all the other work I've done on this van ! Passed MOT by the way

Hi All I went to top up the axle oil and got sprayed with hot ep90, pressurised due to a blocked breather that I have not found as yet! (I haven't looked too hard) Where is this located? as I have an MOT early tomorrow and will unblock while on the ramp of my friendly MOT man.... ! Thanks all...

Hi all, What is considered as a normal amount to skim from a Commer head to improve torque and drivability? And who has had Unleaded valve seats fitted? Do you think it was worth the expense over lead replacement 'jungle juice' ? Lastly can anyone recommend any particular firm to do this...

Reposted from the Imp club Facebook page... c'mon people, without these our doors will literally fall off ! I make opening vent seals for Rootes cars and am well known for the high quality and fit of my products...I have been asked many times to make the seals for Commer PA PB van and need to...

Has anyone fitted Central Locking to a Commer? I have been looking at kits on ebay and wondered what experience people have had? Is it possible to centrally lock the rear 'van' doors without too much butchery? Answers please.... Ockyrootes (Imp x 2, Commer PB, Sunbeam Alpine S5, Enfield...

Too late mate, got a rusty one to keep me occupied but will learn from the experience!

Anything by the Commerdoors!

All, I spoke to Silver Screens yesterday and they can make new for approx £110-120 in modern thermal material guaranteed to prevent condensation on inside of windscreen. The only snag is they have thrown away the patterns so they need an old screen to copy (would be good to get a van there...

Thanks for the tips guys, booked the ferry last night!! Now to make a 'to do list' for van work prior to June 25th!!

Hi All, Has anyone been camping along the coast and further inland among the mountains of northern spain? I'm thinking of taking the Commer for an adventure on the long ferry ride in June/July, if anyone has experience of this area campsites/road conditions etc I would be glad to hear them...

Hi All Does anyone make a fitted thermal windscreen/side window blind for a commer, like the quilted/silverbacked ones available for modern campers? Just thought it would be a good xmas pressy idea - for myself! Ocky Little did I know, prior to the Commer Welding course...

Outdoor Revolution on my van, very happy with size/stability & attachment, my only gripe is it's a bit tricky to put up (2-3 man job) Little did I know, prior to the Commer Welding course...

Hi Debbie, I do dream commers too but this one is real, thanks Panky for the praise, my Commer (should she have a name?) has been out and about a lot this year, 2 trips to Cornwall, a lot of weekend and one night breaks and of course Goodwood last weekend. I didnt forget my password, I just...
