Had a request to use the bus on a wedding last weekend and i was very proud of how it looked and ran, with 11 passengers and a tin bath full of booze on board we clocked up just over 100miles on the day.

My latest project in the realms of Commer insanity is the restoration of a 1957 TS3 Td199 engine. Parts for these early TS3's are unobtainium and i am having to build it from literally bits and pieces found laying around in scrap yards. Does anybody out there in Commer land have any piston...

Hi All, I have the Weber carb on my bus that has started flooding the motor at start up. I am puting a kit through it and changing the suspected needle inlet valve and wanted to check float setting. Does anyone here know the correct float clearance? Thanks,

Hi All, Haven't been on for a while, We bought a new(very old:rolleyes:) home just after XMAS and it needs a lot of TLC so all my spare time has been on the house and the Commer has been left neglected for the last 6 months. I just finished building a new garage/workshop for it so hopefully...
