Blue and white van spotted driving down to rock a nore car park in Hastings old town, in the rain. Came back quick so I guess the height restrictor is too low note to self. Good result virtually never see any down our way.

MOT due soon and just knocked off a Amber lens from rear light assembly. Part is Lucas L572 for the assembly as 1966 van. No easy spare available (£50 on eBay for whole assembly). Lens is intact I think it must have been glued on as there was only one stud holding lens on as far as I can see...

Nice new piece of paper that puts another 12 months on the road yesterday:D:D Got to finish the garage on the new house and then I can get on with some minor bodywork stuff this winter. Enjoy some sunshine first though I think;) No advisories either:p

Martin, sent you a PM on the webforum. Not done it before so just want to check you get it:p. Cheers

A friend saw this at Laughton Fair, anyone know it?

Anyone know a good fit for track rod dust covers? New for not I think I got one with small split. Also got a service kit for brake master cylinder but it is wrong, right one according to species buy washer internal diameter too big. A y ideas what kit I need. Got part number off cylinder while...

I have a new toy for xmas which I am intending to use on the van. It has a couple of areas where the paint has bubbled with rust underneath that I want to have a 'prevention is better than cure' attack on. I haven't done any work on the bodywork before and assuming when I sand/grind it there...

Just two quick questions:D. I think I need to either replace or refurbish my Brake master cylinder (I saw the MOT man looking at it and sniffing the grime on his fingers), no advisory but there is the possibility of some of it leaking very slightly (the reservoir is still topped up). Looked on...

Does anyone know if there is another commer very similar to ours located presumably somewhere around Battle/Ninfield (Sussex). I have now on a number of occasions been asked if I had a nice day out when the van has been tucked up securely. People swear it is identical almost to ours but I...

I snapped the spade end of the temperature sender when I caught the wire doing the brake stop switch[}:)]. I have got a new sender from Speedys but now the temperature gauge goes off the scale at the hot end once the van is running (it probably takes 3 mins or so from cold to get there and then...

Got a new set to go in. What gap do I need? :I

My brother makes cigar box banjos and I knew he has a video on Youtube of them to help sell them. Trying to find it to show someone I stumbled across this which he had kept very quiet. He is at a wedding all day today so I can't congratulate him on his fame. Let us know what you think, he is...

People at work got me this card for my Birthday, thought it might make a good caption contest given the amount of witty people on here............ [/IMG]

On the motorway on the way home there was a couple of lumps of something thrown up that smacked into our windscreen[B)]. There are two very small 'hairline cracks' in it. They are only on the outside not on the interior face. I haven't phoned the insurance to check if we can get it done (as...

With a view to our route up to Commerfest:p:D does anyone know how much it is to get a commer through the tunnel?

When I bought our van the bloke said not to engage overdrive below 40mph and only in 4th. Is there any reason I can't overdrive 3rd at say 35ish on those gentle uphill and twisty 40mph bits where it can't quite mange 4th (due to my lack of guts on the corneres etc)but 3rd is a bit noisy? I...

'Tory name' One doing the rounds at work. Find yours by using your grandads first name, your road name where you were born and your headmasters last name. I am ....... Percy Moy Cornell (not very Tory so maybe this doesn't work:I)

We have 102/100R 185R/14c tyres on the van at the mo and given they are getting a bit low on tread and look a bit tierd they are getting changed this weekend. Does anyone know if these are Ok I am a bit worried about the speed/load (not the speed bit obviously) as they are rated at about...

When reversing onto the drive the other day I pulled the outer sleeve of the gear knob off. Ours resembles the 'truck stop' on a pair of roller boots (and is bright green). Does anyone have a picture of what one should look like. I did see Panky had adapted a nice one he found at an...

Still haven't come across any Commers out and about but did see this the other day. Sure I have seen Sunbeam and Rapier dotted around the site:I Number plate is cool:p [/IMG]
