maybe check that the wiring isn't touching metal somewhere. Had the same thing in my van and was paranoid my batteries were about to die (just before driving over the Pyrenees!), with the battery light coming on whenever i turned a corner... turned out the plastic covering had worn on part of...

check out this special bodied 'Fineline' van for 1 ton commer chassis - perhaps a full size replica project for Martin? brochure says: 'Body framing is of Walker-Welded steel construction with external panelling in steel or aluminium. The one-peice leakproff roof and front scuttle unit are...

aon insurance are pretty good - they do a van insurance for about £80 a year (third party fire and theft) and i think about £120 for fully comp. this'll be different for a camper i expect tho - depends what you tell them what it is... surely a PB van converted to a camper can still be classed as...

i wrote a letter to Colin Hope, address: Renault VI UK ltd Boscombe Rd Dunstable Beds LU5 4LX tel. 01582 47 11 22 this might've changed now, but i think the number still works. they've also got old brochures, etc which they'll copy for you if you ask.

you could try contacting Renault Trucks in Dunstable, Luton, who should have a record of date of manufacture - did this with mine hoping for the free tax (since it had been registered in 77 for use in the RAF) - came up as Aug 10th 76, so no luck unless they go back to 25 years and older. (i put...

i had a similar discussion with someone the other day about my Perkins and whether or not it has glow plugs... 'it wouldn't start without them', which is rubbish because my engine definitely does not have them. it had one of those 12v pre-heaters in the air intake (heats up and then squirts a...

how are things going? got any pics you can post?

here's a link to the Commer Club de Nederland, who mainly run Walk Thru's, but also several others, including PB/PA's. http://www.commer.org/ (click on 'foto archief') its in Dutch but there's some pix of their (immaculate) fleet (click on 'foto archief'). met them several years ago on the...

managed to get the van sprayed up ready for Spain (tho no time to finish roof) - below is a pic early the next morning after: a mate did a piece on this on his blog - you'd think we'd have better things to do in the...

Hello i've been running a walk thru for 11 years now and would be happy to help you out. if you want to find out the year of manufacture (should be earlier than the first use and could be the difference in getting free tax), send your chassis number off to: Renault VI UK ltd Boscombe Rd...

some recent pics chopped out quite a bit, as you can see from these pics taken a couple of weeks ago, but welded the basic framework in now. completely ripped out the back MOT due in a week or so... might have to wait a while on that, but reckon i'll be ready in a couple of weeks

just started some major work on my van, i'll post some pix when i can. been given a crash course in welding by my work neighbours, 'Porschemode', who strangely (for mechanics) are decent human beings. anyway, got a bit carried away with my angle grinder and have cut away the driver's step, plus...

looks like you're doing a great job - did you do the respray yourself?

Just started ripping out pretty much everything I've built into my van over the last 10 years - cooker unit, sink unit, shower, cupboards. Decided to go minimalist, with just a seat/pull-out bed and small hob and sink, freeing up the space for people or gear. But prior to this I'm stripping it...

Here are some pics of the Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) conversion I built into the fuel system of my Walk Thru. Not amazingly clear (!) but shows the major components... if anyone is thinking of converting their diesel to run on veggie oil and needs some help/advice then feel free to contact me...

Just caught this new site from checking over the Car Survey site (which I posted on way back in 2001!).About time we had something decent on the web for Commer van enthusiasts... Have you seen the Commer Club de Nederland site (http://www.commer.org/) - they're very up together and have loads...
