    Oil Leak

    hello

    Hi Commervanfanners, I've not been around very much recently - what's new? Jessica is still live and kicking (off the road for the winter though) and got lots of use this summer, only one night away though. cheers Rupert "Not tonight love - I'm varnishing me roofrack" www.littleyellowcar.co.uk

    Hot starting problem

    Right gang. I need some more help I'm afraid. Jessica has an ongoing problem being difficult to start when hot. She's had the SU conversion which is much better now I've set up the needle and spring properly, and a leccie fuel pump so plenty of juice, it's just that after a decent run she's...

    Clutch fluid gone

    I've just started having a problem with Jess, All the clutch fluid seems to be disappearing! I can't see a leak anywhere, the slave is pretty new (about 3 years) so I'm guessing a new cylinder is required? Is it an easy job? Rupert "Not tonight love - I'm varnishing me roofrack"...

    Hoooofin great roof rack

    Hello I've just put a GINORMOUS roof rack on ebay if anyone is interested. Won't fit over a pop top and looks silly if you put it sideways over the cab roof.... so probably one for the panel van owners out there, and you have plenty of space in your vans for stuff so don't need a roof rack...
