ouch. saw this too late :(

It must have worked, since it has an MOT. But I have not heard it working, I´ve only had the van for a short period of time. MOT time is approaching very fast so I need to sort it out. :)

interesting! Barry, how would I do that? ie. with jump start leads straight from the battery? thanks!

Hi This is probably one of the easiest problems to solve in the commer electrics world, but I don't really know where to start. From reading other threads, I gather that it is a purple wire I need to tackle. But how is the horn wired up? I looked under the front of the van, and the horn seems to...

cheers guys, I'll grab a ladder and carefully inspect the whole gutter. If I can't find any holes, I'll grab the drill. lol

Hi there! Yesterday while checking for potential leaks and rust areas, I started thinking about the shape of the edges of the roof of my Wanderer. What's the thinking behind that shape? That 1cm wide groove that goes around the roof... The rain is chanelled to the lowest point of that groove...

well, gearbush replacement it is then! :) thanks everyone! I

the title of this thread sounds very much like what I try to solve, so here I go: The gear selection in my '67 Wanderer seems a bit unprecise to be. Perhaps that is only my impression, not being used to drive vehicles of this age. But what I think is a bit more worrying is that I cannot change...

Hi Colin I am very interested in a bench seat for my Wanderer. I currently have two independent seats on, which I would swap if everything fits. I'll send you a PM Thanks

interesting point of view this one... "with England being an open country for every sort of criminal from just about anywhere in europe". Most of the criminals that would open your Commer come actually from England itself. But that is just... another point of view.

Hahah gracias Andy. Yes, I'm the happy new owner! I'm sure the Canary Islands would be a great retirement destination for the van, but for now I'll make sure that rain stays away from it as much as possible! Isaak

I have used the below site to source tyres for a classic motorbike. Speedy delivery, plenty of choice and good prices. Not sure if suitable for Commers, but I made a search using the above tyre numbers: 185/70-15. http://www.vintagetyres.com/search?qs=[185%2F70R15]

haha I agree. I´d be scared to give the seller a call.

£1,371.00 Seems like a good price (for my inexperienced eye...). Although without having seen the van, difficult to judge in my opinion. Damn, not being able to bid comfortably is stressful. Will I ever find a Commer!? :(

Hi guys. I thought that the two hanging roof bunks were standard for Autosleepers? The one in the brochure does not seem to have them. Was it an optional extra? Do you think they can be found second hand and have them fitted? Cheers Isaak

anyone has an idea of the width of the rear door of this conversion? Interesting rear shape. Not exactly what we would call aerodynamic :P

A restoration project, but beautiful! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170926585776?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
