Re: Non-plastic Fresh Water Tank

We carry 150 litres on our boat, all of it in plastic and no ill effects, at least not from the water:-) It's all kept out of the light and we try, as far as possible to ensure that the last filled is the last used but human error often creeps in so some of it may well sit there for a year or more. ...

Re: Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller - several aliases?

since Pete seems to want some sort of reply all I can do is repeat what I've said before. I'm not arguing for or against this man but I do want to see evidence. if that evidence can be collated and set before the appropriate authorities then I hope justice would take it's course. I have to say,thoug...

Re: ADVICE: Do these toilet tents last/work

we've something very similar on the boat as a shower cubicle and it works well, although guy ropes might be helpful if you don't have the benefit of a mast to fasten it to. The only downside is trying to get it back in the bag. There's a youtube video which shows it being done with the greatest of e...

no, not a Terzo, not sure of the make but it's the same as this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-Bongo-Ford-Friendee-ladder-/331543961627?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d318f601b (I didn't pay that much for it, though) Thanks for the suggestion of the tubing, I'll give that a go Regards, Br...

Fitting rear ladder

I've just fitted a stainless ladder to the tailgate. Many thanks for the advice here about removing the spoiler BTW. I'll need to trim the spoiler a bit to refit but that's no problem, When I picked up the ladder I was struck by it's weight and wondered about the ability of the gas struts to cope. I...

Re: Glow plugs, such thing as "service interval or .....

a smear of copper tease, finger tight, then a quarter turn, no more. Not, as a friend of mine says, tighten til it cracks, then back a quarter.

Re: Mr HAYAT-Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller

Mine came with a receipt for a recent service and written across the top was Cam belt not replaced. I promptly had it done. looking at your list, Simon, the question arises, and was raised by Colin some time ago, why, if you have a text as evidence, haven't you gone to the police? Threatening behavi...

Re: Mr HAYAT-Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller

what I'd like to see is the evidence, and I speak as someone who was, for more than 20 years, a magistrate. I've said here, and elsewhere that I'd rather his practice was altered, I don't like one day auctions , for example, but I wait to see real evidence of criminal activity. The only evidence I h...

Re: Mr HAYAT-Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller

What exactly do you intend to do if you get an address? I've no idea where he lives. I lived in Bristol for part of the 70's but I don't recognise his street. I can tell you where one of his vans is, though. It's sitting in my drive. Did 220 miles today, ran like a sewing machine, beautiful. I know ...

Re: Solenoid valve 18-741c u/s is kit important?

Which one of the two is it? Looking from the door, the left one is number 1, the right, number two. Number 1 should give vacuum to the FCD from cold to about 20 C, number 2 continues to do so until working temp. Number 2 will kick in again if you put the aircon on, raising the idle to compensate for...
