mmm... looks pig ugly to me too Chamba... and has the look of an ambulance alright. And they always put me off with the thought of what/who went in them!?!!?[xx(]

Great vans... especially the white one:p:p I see you live in Launceston... funny how so many places from the UK were used in Australia, I live near Launceston, Cornwall.

By the way... do you have a gearbox with o/d kicking around by any chance Martin??

I did, but my local garage owner, who had a commer in the 70's suggested 80/90???

Thanks, need to check the variables. Thought the gearbox oil was an EA 80/90??

Cornish Commer! See you at Lanlivery show on Sunday??:p:p

Panky,MM,CR etc... I have been away camping on Dartmoor over the W/E - fantastic! Anyway, the g/b whine isn't that bad at all... can certainly live with it for the time being. You can't hear it at all when moving along, just a subtle whine when ticking over. Anyway, I mentioned my o/d had...

where abouts in Devon?

Would be great to see 'CORNISH COMMER' or ???? - forgotten your name? But you live near Totnes!! lol - How about it??

Thanks John. The V8 looks SO cool! - u gotta cruise her around Newquay one day! - heads will turn! Don't get me wrong, we love our Wilma, but if she had needed a resto, what you've done would be the 'look' I would want:p:p What have you got planned for the interior? Ray

Love the van john... gorgeous!

Straight to the point..... thanks Panky. Well, will have to live with it for a minute, if I can. But will try to source a replacement, as you may remember it is also cracked, so perhaps has done alot more in its former life than 'Wilma.' I think MM said he had one..?? Cheers

I shouldn't complain really... have had 7 years of trouble free Commering...... till now!!! [:0][:0][:0][:0]

gearbox bearings![:0] - what will that mean then??[xx(] The noise isnt too bad, but assume it will only get worse??

What a dork! - oh well sorted now. Although I must say the manual isn't clear... and it looks bloody awkward when fitted... Anyway, next problem.... the o/d has stopped working.. yes, it bloody has! Took her for a spin in the sun and engaged o/d.. great, and then it dropped out of o/d. Got home...

you have a picture of everything don't you... well that's it then! cheers... not doing it now though...zzzzzzzzzz

Well, that makes me look a proper t*@t...:I Although why is this side of the slave flange not smooth? - it is definitely cast flat on the other side?? - plus the diagram in the manual looks that way??? Ah well... don't care if this works. Thanks Mr.P:)

Will have another look though.... Although the other side was not machined flat..?

No.. thought I checked that, it bolts on the 'front' side doesn't it???

What an epic job this has turned out to be....[xx(] Next problem.. Have fitted a new clutch master cylinder and a new slave... bled system, great clutch pressure - ideal.:) The only problem is the slave piston practically comes out of the slave bore when the clutch is pressed and then locks...
