    '76 Autosleeper

    hello everyone, it's been a long long time since I last posted in Jessica's thread so I thought I'd give you a little update. Well she's been used and abused, but about a year or so ago she started having some reliability problems which I eventually traced to snakeskin :( after much mucking...

    Dolly The Autosleeper

    I bought an engine which had an SU conversion done on it which looks just like this! the guy I bought it from said he had to modify the engine lid to get it to fit so he added that to the pallet of stuff I bought. It turned out he had welded a Morris Minor hub cap into the engine lid which...

    bleeding hydraulics

    they are great - I've used mine for the brakes and clutch. I found the problem renaultvation is talking about the hard way! It shot fluid all round the engine bay, and split one of the rubber pipes at the front too (good to know it needed replacing though!) Rupert "Not tonight love - I'm...

    Beetle/Campervan Crisis Needs A Rival

    I have watched those programmes - I quite like them but they have very little content, lots of " after the break", and "catch up on what happened before the break". By the look of the reader's rides section (Panky 150 pages?!) there's far too much going on in the commer scene for the tv execs to...

    Don,t try this at home !

    I've had a very similar problem with Jessica. In the end I completely stripped and cleaned the fuel system. I know you know all this stuff already! I spent a few weeks trying to start Jessica before I realized it was water coming out of the fuel line not fuel! I really want to know what the...

    Nice one beachboy, I'll give it a go! I seem to remember doing a similar thing with the minor. Had her running just now and discovered that she won't run without the choke fully out - so it looks like I have some more tinkering to do. New fuel pump is brill though. It's great to have fuel...

    Hi Gang, I'm back! Sorry I've been away for so long, work/family/facebook and general other stuff got in the way which combined to create a massive loss of Commer MOJO. But now the summer is here! (well spring anyway) Jessica is trying to come out of a winter of hibernation but is in need of a...
