Safe park and ride for Central London ?

Hiya, I’m heading south in Beryl the Bongo on Wednesday to visit Chelsea Flower Show. Staying at hotel in Central London but looking for some local advice on the best and safest places to park overnight.

Re: My Insurance Renewal 2019-Beware Folks

Just renewed Insurance with LV as part of multi-car policy - £198 fully comp, protected NCD, 5000 miles per year. No breakdown or replacement vehicle. Previous brokers (Lancaster) who were doing policy with LV, were quoting £390 plus £50fee!

Re: Rust above gutter line on side of roof ?

Thanks for that. Been having some arch and sill work done on my beloved Beryl by Bongo Spares in Sowerby, and how to do the smallish roof patches was a discussion point. I believe they have ended up sanding, kurusting and filling .. I'd be a lot happier if there is waxoyl inside too ... otherwise it ...

Re: Rust above gutter line on side of roof ?

Interested to see how these previous roof repairs are bearing up after 2 years .... Any comments? I've had rust spots like that along the spot welds in the gutter (treated them with jenolite then primer and spraycan - not ideal, as all done outside, in a tent :~) but also a couple of holes on the ...

Re: How much for a full respray & rear wheel arch replacement?

Interesting to see the respray/rust/wheelarch discussion from 2015... How did all your repairs/resprays turnout? Has the rust been held at bay?

I spent last two summers trying to keep on top of the first bits of rust here and there. Gutters (spotweld points) were stripped, jenolited, primed and ...

Re: Fitting a fuel computer ....

Thanks for all your comments and advice folks. Keep them coming ..... Yes, I know the simplest thing is paper and pencil :wink: but I fancied a wee project to get my hands dirty and understand some of the workings a bit better. Still pondering if I can get some kind of basic usable info from the ...
