Slow and steady wins the race...

Greetings all,

Have just (Friday) got an MOT on my SWB SII after 3 years of owning it (and telling the wife that it only needs a little work).

Now looking to get well and truly muddy in it and I'm sure break down many times.

First break down was on way back from MOt when sediment in bottom of tank partially blocked fule pipe giving a top sped of 30mph on the flat and a lot less on a gradient. Thats now sorted and managed 55 earlier! Yipee.

Now to sort out the self opening doors - new door rubbers, old hinges think we can guess the result.

Am based in Maidstone and happy to talk to local owners about green laning and the like.

Hi and welcome, we own a couple of series motors, nothing nicer........ as you say though the doors have a tendancy to open all on their own and usually at the most inconvenient times, we thought about anti burst locks but decided against and just put up with it

And whats nicer than a classic series?

I mean who wants thes new fangled heaters, I have air conditioning - the air rushes in from every join and gap. No carpets to worry about getting dirty and as for leather seats, whats wrong with the old sponge as soft as a plank of wood

hello and welcome Ian

'ello from just up the A229 mate!

Cheers,
