www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222312769753 £5000 for a very smart 90, bit cheap but also has another one 30 miles away and a number of other underpriced campervans all over the country - if it looks too good to be true then it probably is. No doubt the person will hold it for you for a deposit....

The Chassis on my series 3 isnt that great and I bought another chassis with V5 etc. The chassis itself is OK and has got the ID plate etc (not an ID plate and bag of rust) , Now hers the thing - I wouldnt buy a chassis without an ID as there is a risk of it being stolen. But after sending off...

I bought a series last year from a guy who only had an old V5 in the previous keepers name - I did check the chassis and engine numbers matched the old V5 and (whilst I arranged for a friend with a flat bed to collect it) got a cheap HPI check. The DVLA write to the previous owner to give them a...

Sorted, Less violence - more thought.. it kind of screws in with a pair of tiny pliers:)

I have had to replace a drive flange with a new one, I can see a slight shoulder on the splines that the spiralok washer needs to position on - but I am struggling to get the dam thing in - any suggestions ? Not sure if its because there both Britpart or I just need a spot of the old...

If you remove the bulb from reverse for instance and put in reverse and recheck: fault on tail, still there its probably a short on the feed no fault, probably bad earth. If the brake lights dont make the reverse light come on then I would have though it more likely a feed short somewhere.

OK, you have a fair point. Maybe it would be better to identify the things to look out for as a potential useful sticky thread. Avoid Breaking a car that looks too good to break (although half the series 3 breaking look better than mine!) Photos showing complete car mobile number only delivery...

So I see a seller with 100% positive feedback score over 1400, my first reaction is that its probably a safe seller. Guess I am just another easy mark then - as there are plenty of adverts breaking whatever "if you bid on this you get a wheel nut, contact me for other bits...." If someone sets...

Cool, will just bolt it on and see what happens then. then just got to decide what to do with the old one.

Could be the original ebay ID has been hijacked by someone else - recently (logon stolen from an old laptop\mobile etc) The history shows the ebay ID was changed in October, and no other buys or sells in feedback in a year

My son saw this the other week and absolutely loved it - but the he is 14 and into the zombie apocalypse genre. I was thinking how the **** would I get to half the bolts it it needed the wing off etc.

Due to being a tight arse, I have got hold of a complete front axle for my 88 as the old swivels were both corroded and shot and an axle was less than than a single swivel would have cost. The new axle has got 11 inch brakes, my 88 only has a single output master cylinder non servo. Does that...

You fixed it ! thats all that matters :)

Coils can get warm if they start to break down inside - or if oil cooled and have a small crack in them. Thus if they get too hot then they dont generate a good spark. So a bad coil can be ok for 5 or 10 mins then need a 5 - 10 min rest to cool down. Might not be that - but is is possible...

I think its fair to say that it would need the chrome balls if I take it apart !
