Looking for a Commer-lover/mechanic/craftsman-Am a very proud owner of a beautiful 1967 Commer but need help!

-It has quite a few serious leaks, including through the pop-top, around dashboard and, it seems, from underneath. - General weatherproofing.

-The brakes failed completely last year and were repaired but quite a botch job and need some attention.

-Also a couple of minor problems like the bumpers have been "bumped in" and need to be repositioned/pulled back out and the hinges on the back doors are about to give up the ghost.

Past experiences with everyday, modern mechanics/garages not great-not familiar with "Commer anatomy" and getting parts often problematic - maybe someone here might be able to help/point me in the right direction.

It is currently sheltering in a garage in London but can be driven(possibly)/towed anywhere if anyone can help.

Hi Laura,

There's a few people on here who can help you out with that. I'd suggest Tim ( Commeracer ) Martin Maltas or Woolfy. Surely a few others i have missed out but those names spring to mind;) Tim is closer to you than the two Martin's mind you. Welcome along by the way:)

I too must apologise as I missed your debut on this wonderful forum. I'm a little out of the way from you so can only offer virtual help and support. Most mechanical spares can be had from Martin Maltas or Speedy Spares of Brighton and our own Woolfy does a great line in replacement panels. Water leaking from underneath sounds ominous - maybe a bit of welding required:I The water getting in through the dashboard could either be a leaky windscreen seal ( available from Martin) or the heater drain blocked, there is a drain behind the front grille commonly known as the 'bulbous end' that often becomes blocked causing the heater to fill up with rain water and (in the worst case) rot out the heater box. Try clearing out the drain and see if it cures the problem.
Welcome to the Madhouse:D once a Commerfan - always a Commerfan[^]
