Adding Uv dye to a 2.0lt petrol bongo

Hello I am seeking some advice. Recently I posted with regards to a coolant leak. I was hoping it was due to the rear heater matrix and my coolant loss at the time was less than 4 litres and the van never overheated as only went around 5 miles gently and the coolant hoses/ pipes were only warm to to...

Re: Great campsite in Kent

Hello Flanners
It really is a pleasent campsite, from previous experience the amenities suffer less from graffiti and abuse in adult only sites.
We will be there over the May bank holidays, you are most welcome to say Hi should you be passing.

Re: Storage cupboard

Hello Janie
Thanks for the link, they are the same ones as the plans I bought, maybe I should reconsider making them.

Re: Storage cupboard

Hello.
I bought the plans off ebay. They were £10 and detail how to build them with measurements too. They were emailed to me.
I have just checked and they are still available, if you type in this number 173292146205 in the search tab you should see them.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Re: Storage cupboard

Hello Sotal
Thanks for your reply. We do not have children and very seldom carry passengers so the restriction is not really a concern, but I appreciate your advice.
I did purchase some plans but after costing it all out I was hoping I might be able to purchase some already built.

Storage cupboard

Hello all
I am seeking the storage cuboards that run along the side of the van, at head height. My van is unconverted but I would like additional storage that this would give. My van is a 2001 model.
If anyone has one or knows of any please can they let me know.
Many thanks in advance.
