Hi all, time for me to try one of these! A friend at work used to go camping in a Commer, I think a Haylett Olympian. She remembers the number plate and for some reason it rang a bell but I could just be making that up! The plate was quite distinct at JSE 50N so likely quite valuable. DVLA...

At a tiny farmers market in Great Grandson and came across this for a pound. Quite rare to see this. Katy the camper!! Wonder if they know :)

Don’t see these come up very often Panky :) https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/2694-05-Apr-2025/9524~1-1990-citroen-bx-gti-4x4

Hi all, been a while! So happy NY if not too late. I’ve just started playing with fitting a EWP from Davies Craig (fan already installed). Doesn’t look like It’ll fit in with the current water pump and thermostat combo - I don’t have the most common one for alloy head motors. However in my...

I’ve probably asked before but wondering if it’s possible to change the cam with the engine still in the van? I’ve a short block with a better cam in but rather not switch the engines I can help it. Thanks as always

Just been for a day out at armourgeddon with Jo and highly recommend it - paintballing in real tanks!!! Paul - it might not excite you so much but for someone who’s never driven or shot from a tank it’s pretty amazing. includes a small Museum there.

Hi all, does anyone know if these old skool style exhaust gadgets go on a certain way round? One side is slightly more dimpled than the other but apart from that I can’t see much difference. Cheers Jim

Friend in London got a part snap of this today - new one to me with some strange panels

Currently in Sri Lanka and seems to be a big classic scene, mostly Jap stuff (which I love) but caught a couple of brits at a town we stopped in

Morning hoping someone can help. For spares I Ordered a couple of rear brake cylinders that said they were for all models up To ‘81. Looking at them the pistons inside have a large gap between them I suspect that’s for the arm to fill for a rear handbrake. As I don’t want to take the rear...

Managed to get the electric fan and sensor up and running well but while I was at it I thought I’d upgrade the charge wiring from the upgraded alternator to the remote relay/starter solenoid. The new alternator has the Lucas 3 pin plug (one thick brown wire to the remote relay and a thinner wire...

Been to pick up a load of bits today bit of a bargain price really so couldn’t resist. Chap who was building an engine but ended up selling his Mk3 Sceptre so all been sat around for a couple of years. It should let me build a good tweaked engine up off the van rather than leaving the van...

Wondered what that clunking and vibrating was on the way back from Devon! Amazed it wasn’t noisier tbf. Got lucky really as could’ve been pretty messy failing at 65mph

5:45am start but did well to get here in 7 hours from Sheffield in a Commer especially with 2 kids needing toilet stops all the time :)

Little gutted but fixable even though will need pulling a bit

Spent the last couple of days adding solar as the next couple of sites don’t have hookup available. 150w and happily generating even in the cloudy weather today, hoping should get around 42amps a day through it. Mounted a flexible panel to an aluminium sheet so can be removed and the rack still...

My doors don’t fit very well and have to lift them, I’m guessing there no new old stock out there so was wondering if anyone has ever repaired or found an alternative? Was hunting on Google and seems you can buy heavy duty blank ones to weld on for steel doors. Interesting to see if these could...

Seemed a shame to lose it after it’d been on the house for 100 years - recycled and a perfect fit :)

Brave enough, fancy another welding journey? :) my brother friends dad passed away just and has this in the garden, apparently it drove there ok but don’t know when, apparently no holes underneath but again I’ve not seen it. Open to offers
