That’s right Joe, I was hoping he’d become one of the fat and furious early bay rock steady crew. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,not much good at furious meself :)

Sounds great, don’t forget your Avon stuff to ward off the over friendly midges. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,Gretna sounds great :)

Very first thing I’d do is to try it without the fan belt. It s easily done to get something down in the fan and housing, that’ll also eliminate the alternator. I’m guessing you’ve already tried that. Second thing I’d try is stethoscope style piece of hosepipe to the ear. If it’s all doom and...

0 Cheers Clem, I miss some of his posts. He was always trying to create a post or a decent discussion about Bay issues. Ozziedog,,,,,,,Hope he comes back :)

Absolutely following my thinking with the advancements in oil technologies and other respected people trialling and using modern style oils of the synthetic varieties. As I eluded to earlier, some of these are experimenting in real time with all the different worry guages and each is grinding...

Wonderful Nigel A. :cool: Bet that looks like a Christmas Tree when you’re bombing along at night. Does anyone of those tell you how cold the Stella might be in your coolbox. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,get the priorities sorted yeah !

You’ve been before then lol :cool: SSSStrugglinn J&P Sssstrugglinn wot chya got bud? Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,be great to see you all. :)

Just tried to send a P.M. to a member called Gaz and he’s Velgreeno on here and can’t seem to get a message off to him. Have we lost him with some sort of technical buffoonery. Real nice chap but I seem to remember he had some issues with electrics. Wonder if he’s still got his Dormy...

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,me , me , me, :)

We met quite a few peeps there last year that hinted they may come. Then on the Saturday we normally group up little duck style and drive into the larger of the show areas and form an early bay display from approximately ten until four then roll back and commence food and things before the...

Brilliant, let’s see if we can coax a few more to our ‘Village’ and I quite like the sound of that. :cool: Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,The more the merrier. :)

I hope your gonna do it in your van and on the cooker just like Matty did. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,, cut the bloody wires :eek: :cool: :eek:

Great explanation there bud and the main thing is any oil is better than none as you said. What’s got you started on the synthetic stuff then? It’s just that I’ve noticed a few peeps going over to synthetic and most of them have a van full of worry guages so I’m sure they’re concentrating on...

Brilliant. I bet you got stressed right out when it went up to 135’ . I reckon Matty ^^^ has the right idea as above. I’ve got a nice big tacho on my dash with a shift light on the side. It also has oil pressure, oil temperature and water temperature guages and possibly an ammeter with little...

Yes yes yes and yes. But as mentioned in the original post, something about parking on a camber and opening the door to a puddle or pool of water on the step up. And while I was there, I’d pop a few in the bottom of the lower section of the door too because I’m guessing if it’s pooling on the...

Hiya Eddie mate and welcome home. Liking your new cobber the stepside. I’m guessing the extra vents at the rear near the the crescent shaped engine air vents are for the cargo area in the van, they’re not ducted to increase air volume into the noisy cupboard are they ? In my own opinion, I’m...

These are fairly primitive motors in their basic form as I’ve mentioned before. Oil is such a contentious subject. I personally don’t like to mix oils, even oils of the same brand as you’re just not sure how they’ll mix or even if they will mix nicely. You just can’t see what’s happening to it...

All the above ideas will definitely help. Adding extra drain holes isn’t a bad thought either. Can you have too many drain holes ? If you drill from underneath, you’ll need to clean up the other side of the hole with a large drill bit or similar then coat it inside with whatever you like. But...

I’ve got a Rusty Lee bed in mine and it’s been there over ten years and isn’t showing any signs of not being comfortable for the foreseeable future. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,thoroughly recommended :)

From memory, it wasn’t a big big deal at all. This is from a very long time ago so please forgive me if it’s jumbled. I remember getting the old ones off was tricky in some places as the rubber had grown into the metal or so it seemed. This was just a case of lots of scraping and if I remember...
