Percy the Highwayman

Charged up tghe battery and Percy started first time a couple of days ago.

Just go to stick some tax on him and we should be ready for another 6 months Commering.

Paint is holding fine..disppointed some of the cheap chrome has rusted though (not the Commer grill surround though!:D)

Welcome back Adam, been a while mate. Like yourself i started the van up for the first time in a while the other day and he fired up first turn of the key bless him. Just need to get my clutch woes sorted and we too are out there again. Can't wait;-)

Thanks guys.

What ive got planned for this year...

Get the overdrive working properly would be a start- I think its the solenoid. Seems a waste having it there but not using it.

Finish off the last few remaining areas of paint.

Tidy up the cab- mainly wiring as its quite messy under the dash

New wood panneling around rear door as the seal isnt the best and has got in a bit

Bit of a theme with the wiring under dash's it seems. I went out earlier and had a look at mine and it does look a bit spaghetti under there i must admit. I'm going to follow where some of these wires are going tomorrow when i get home.

I think it was messed about a bit when the overdrive was put in, not to mention modst of the buttons on the dash dont do what they should[8D]

Bit of a trek for us:I

If Percy proves himself before then I might take a chance on getting there and back in one piece[8D]

I'm sure we are all taking a big gamble mate. If you come up the A1 and join the Commervoy i'm sure you will be in safe hands if you should break down;-)

If Hunny managed it last year for a 'Commerland' visit without a hitch pre-resto, then there's hope for you guys [8D] Although this time we'll heed 'hill unsuitable for caravans' warnings, no fun losing braking and accerating from 30 to 50 through hairpins - we still have nightmares [:0]

Maybe I shouldn't be scaring you - we could always arrange a Commer-voy from Norfolk ?
