Just been watching a Furious Driving video on YouTube and noticed a Commer during his walk through of a Volvo breakers! Not sure which conversion it is, but despite being rotten as a pear, may be a source of parts for someone. I believe this yard will be closing at some point, so don't hang...

Hi folks. I'm trying to remove the black dash rail from Tulip, but can't work out how it comes off. I've removed obvious bolts, but it still seems fixed at either end. Any suggestions? Thanks

Free to collector! This is Pootle's old engine that I myself collected recently. I've grabbed the bits I need, but I can't justify keeping the short block, so is surplus to requirements. Would like to pass it on to someone on here who'll benefit. Apparently it had about 60k miles on it and ran...

Hi all, long time no speaky! Hope you're all well? I'm still about, those of you who remember me; I've lurking quietly in the background. I've still got my Commer (Tulip) and am re-finding my mojo to get her back on the road after body work activity taking a looooong pause. Will post pics of...

Howdy guys, long time no habla. My mate who's more car obsesive than most told me about this pick up around the corner from that has come up for sale. It's the elusive pick up that Daytona found a couple of years back that I've not previously been able to locate for love nor money. Anyway, we...

Evening my Commer amigos, long time no habla :) A friend of mine has had these rubber mats in his loft for years and he believes that they were intended for his late uncle's PB minibus, but never used. Going by the shape, I can't work out whether or not these are for a minibus, but they are...

I got these off someone from here a couple years ago (his name escapes me - Simon?) but I won't be using them on Tulip. They appear to have never been used. The fella reckoned that they were specifically for an Autosleeper, but I'm not convinced. I haven't bothered working out what was what (cos...

Evening all, El Chambas here. Must be the cold (it's -2C in the garage!) or I'm being a bit dense, but I'm struggling to work out how to remove the lower part of my front smiley grille. I've got the top strip off and drilled the rivets holding the mesh in place but cannnot work out how the lower...

The good lady and I were travelling on the last leg of our camping holiday yesterday in Tulip when we saw another Commer driving towards us (the first time we've seen another Commer on the road outside of organised shows!). In my excitement I didn't manage to grab the camera off the middle seat...

Saw this on the BBC, some very cool retro ice cream van content including a bit of Commer ;) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14298754

There must be someone on here that knows a thing or two about concrete that can impart some of their knowledge[?][?] Basically in a weeks time I'll know or not whether I've been granted planning permission for the Tulip's new home; a garage at last that I can work in. I've removed the existing...

Just been looking through the Next catalogue which is typical of the fun and excitement I have on a Friday night. Anyway my hawk eyes spotted a little Commer lurking in one of the canvas pictures they sell. Take a looky here, it looks like the milk float model. Think I might ask for one in my...

I hate adjusting tappets; it’s such a pain in the butt imprecise job that needs to be precise! [}:)] On a regular sized car, I whip the plugs out and turn the crank with a spanner. If that’s not possible, I put it into 4th gear and push the car to move the rocker gear. As far as I’m aware...

Hi guys and girls. For those of you in the South East region, there's this cracking little show with a country feel that I've been going to the last couple of years. There was a really good turn out last year (500+ vehicles I think) with a real mix of vehicles, including agricultural and...

Morning guys and gals, just a quick question for you - Those of you with Autosleeper, what size gas bottle do you run - 4.5kg or 7kg? I think both will theoretically fit, but I'd like to go with the recommended/safest option. Thanks [8D]

Hi guys. I thought that it was about time I shared a few photos of the new love of my life with you; so here's a mega update. Some of you will recognise Tulip as Pixie's old van. I bought her several weeks back after we agreed a price that we were both comfortable with. Pixie didn't really want...

Hi guys. I'm after a set of four chrome hub caps in excellent/very good condition and don't really want to pay the £75 + postage they're going for on eBay! Can anyone help? Also, not so critically, I'm also after a pair of coil springs for the front suspension. If you can help drop me a mail...

Sorry if pic below doesn't display, Photobox is temperamental. Looks like the hardcore VW boys have seen the light! Not sure what's 'crazy' about the Commer - it's super low and got a narrow front track which is at the top of most VW owners to do lists!

Hi, hope it's OK to let you know about my friend's clutch & brake business, 'The Precision Clutch Place'. He's based near Croydon, but offers a nationwide delivery service. He's a great guy and a true car nut + gets excited when I talk Commers!! [^] He's able to provide re-manufactured clutches...

Thought I'd share with you a couple of front garden finds of mine. You don't see many PBs in people's front gardens. I've seen quite a few Spacevans, but have never bothered to photo them. Sorry for the poor quality, this was taken on an old digi cam back in 2002. Found this one in Croydon, I...
