Good tip about comparative conductivity, as you say, if i want to direct condensation, somewhere low down on the sides give least problems. I haveseats in the back and only have limited room for insulation behind these, so i was figuring that would be wherecondensation woukd occur but take...

New head lining and load bay lighting. I have made a separate thread for my comments on installing this head lining from Lasalle trim but am satisfied with the results. The cotton twill 'curtains' are fixed with poppers to cleats that are screwed in to the mounting points of the lining and are...

Here we go then, some 'pre-restoration' pics. A few small pieces of work done in these pics; Roof painted (temporary to assist with leak fixing) Additional seats in the back Seat belts, front and rear

Yes in short but LaSalle Trim don't make side panels for my LWB series. I have been considering what to use instead, both with the insulation (Lasalle trim's insulation is quite expensive for what you get) and finish. My current thoughts are; 15mm neoprene closed cell foam with foil backing (I...

Yes, not cheap, around £450 but they are made of a semi-rigid plaster resin compound that is both rot proof and sound adsorbent and should last longer and be more moisture resistant than fabric liners. I have also noticed the sound reduction and heat retention as well which is surprising as...

Thanks, new custom loom on its way for when i install leisure battery. I just need to put together something that will get me to my next event as i have been awaiting my new loom for a while now.

There is more for the saga thanks to a drama that played out on the side of the M3 on the way to an event. First fuel cuts out while driving, drop a gear and pump the throttle and recover. Fuel cuts out again and all lights go out. Pull over onto hard shoulder suspecting the fuel cut off...

Not really, just akward as the hardest part was positioning the lining pannels which while flexible are large and need to be positioned at an angle to get them in the back door then lifted into place. If you are methodical and take your time, the finished product is well worth the effort. The...

The last stage is installing the head lining itself, which for a 109 came in 3 approximately square parts; front, middle and back. It also came with plastic rivets but i used self tapping pan head srews in case i needed to remove at a later date as the rivets are a one time only deal. The...

The next stage is insulation, LaSalle trim supply foil backed 12mm open cell foam that is very bendy and is self adhesive. It cost me £120 for enough for my 109 roof, after i called tyem to ask how much i needed and i ended up with about a 1ft square piece left over so very little to spare...

First a few pictures before i started. First tip, install your electrics for lighting first as you will not have access after. Secondly, ensure your roof is not leaking. I spent a while fixing a creeping leak along my gutter rails which i resolved by using silicone on the outside and...

Just a thread to give my tips and experiences from my most recent install of a new headlining in my series 2a lwb utility. There are a few pictures of the finished result but i'm afraid, i was so involved i did not take any photos during. In all it took about 2 days including the insulation...

Hi Chris, I am the proud owner of a LWB Series 2a with a 200TDI. I did not do the conversion myself and have only owned the vehicle for a few months. However, drawing on my previous experience of owning a SWB series 3 with an original petrol 2.25 engine, I can offer some information about the...

Fixed, thanks for your help. We were right in identifying the fuel cut off solenoid as the temporary power supply cured the problem. I traced the wiring from the solenoid (yes there were two wires) and while the wire to the starter motor circuit worked, the wire from the ignition switch did not...

What's working is that wasn't the scariest of my travelling stories, I know what wheel bolts look like when they fly of your wheels and land in your windscreen wipers recess while travelling at 70 down a motorway in a Ford Orion. Good luck with your mot part 2.

OK then, I thought I had run into the one on the right at a muster as my regiment constantly get put up against the Scots, but I can never remember anyone's name.

I agree that noise sounds like bearings or a leaf in the fan chamber. Although think yourself lucky as when I saw the jet engine thread, I was reminded of the friend with a disco that had so many leaves in the heater matrix it caught fire and spat the flames out through the air vents while we...

Hi wattfield, your picture looks like you are a member of Scott's brigade of the SK?

Thanks nickjaxe, I have not owned it long, just over two months and drove it 200 miles back when I bought it, since then it has only been on short runs to garage and back and on test runs as the not charging issue reared its head on the drive home when my battery ran so low, my lights and...

When I wiggled the engine harness enough for it to charge, it ran fine. Started on first turn over (it still does, just won't carry on) It did stop when I pulled one of the bullet connectors of the engine harness multi-plug and I suspect that water in this connector has been causing the...
