I've done two 6 week trips and a 2 week tour through france in July/August. Thats mainly central and south/east france. A bit careless of me but I've never book a campsite and never been turned away yet. May just have been lucky. Sometimes i've left it a bit late in the day and used aires. A real li...

When I changed my radiator and hoses and started the bleeding process it took a very long time for the bottom hose to get warm/very warm. The best part of an hour using Haydn and Kirsty's method for bleeding on youtube. I was just about to give up when the hose starting getting warm and the funnel s...

For exploring Seville, which is a beautiful city, I would recommend staying at Camping Villsom in Dos Hermanas and then getting the bus in. Its basic but good. The old city is the place to go with narrow alleys opening up into small squares with orange trees everywhere. For Gibraltar there is a camp...

Thanks again Simon... I will send Ian a email. I think I've managed to turn it into a much smaller pdf (3Mb) and transferred it to the drop box program.... after two very cold bottles of Hobgoblin.. Just need to figure how to share it now.. Perhaps a third bottle is needed.. !

Thanks Simon.... I have created a drop box account and transferred the new file to it. It says you can invite friends to use it. So maybe Ian could download it that way?? Does Ian have an email ?

I have managed to do a revised edition of the service with photos, its as a wordpad rich text doc at the moment but its 101Mb.. I dont have a lot of time to resize and play around with right now. Any advice on sites or ways to upload it to a suitable location for members to benefit from it?
Thanks

Having a vice (not smoking or drinking) or some kind of a jig, to hold the motor steady would be a big advantage when putting the motor back together. Its an awkward shape and you need both hands free to work on it, rather than using one to hold it upright.

I didn't make it clear in the original post that there's a ball bearing at either end of the rotor arm on the very end of the spindles in a recess. I mentioned the larger one which will give problems and the ways to get round this. The end that goes into the cog mechanism that operates the worm driv...

My local lidl has a stack of 100% rapeseed oil at £1.09 litre. Whether thats a national offer I couldn't say. I haven't yet gone down that route but reading past posts, rapeseed seem to be the way to go and possibly adding a inline filter

Yes of course use the info for a fact sheet and tweak and edit as required.. Hope it helps others

Here are a few words on my experience of stripping down some very sluggish roof motors. The thought of having to fork out £300 for pair new motors was inspiration for this. The way the motors are removed are covered in previous posts so I won't go into that. I couldn't find the link while writing th...

Thanks Winchman, Yes good advice I shall use a washing up bowl and proceed with caution and report back.

My roof motors are struggling to raise the roof. I've read the very good posts about removing the motors and fully extending the roof manually and re-attaching the motors. I was wondering whether anyone has tried a strip down service of the motors themselves. I got my passenger side folding wing mir...

That looks like an excellent job. I gave up along time ago trying to sleep on the bongo seats.
Thanks for the info, I'm sure alot of owners will be interested in this way round the lumpy seat prob.

Update on the whinning noise. I bought some "10K Boost" Super Concentrate Stop Leak Power Steering Fluid and poured it straight into the PSF reservoir, turning the steering wheel to the right and back (ignition off) to help release the trapped air. The fluid states it can also be used as a...
