    series 2a wiper motor

    Looking at second picture, - can't see the brushes (should be sitting proud of the holders) - i'd say that the brushes have worn down too much to be of any use. get new brushes and give the armature a clean with a rubber (pencil eraser - if you can get one for ink -which is a bit courser - all...

    rear heater

    How about a small caravan gas heater? You get caravan scrappers advertising on google and e-bay. fitted one to wife's horse box living space and works a treat. Not sure if its wise to use on the move though. That's where i would look though - the camping and caravanning industry must have...

    Scotland trip ideas

    End of February could still give you a dumping of snow - so watch the forecasts! - Make sure you have warm clothes (thick jumpers) and a shovel - at the very least!! -Unless we have a 'heatwave' in spring like last year, midges shouldn't be too much of a problem. -AVON skinsosoft IS A MUST!!

    Scotland trip ideas

    Where do we begin? Problem is because of the way maps are biased - Scotland looks like you could cross it in half an hour! - Common fault of my friends coming up to visit is phoning me when they reach Glasgow and telling me they'll be with me in half an hour! (i'm in Aberdeenshire - its another...

    brake and clutch servo refurb.

    During my series 2 refurb - have found that the rubber seals etc are perished on both the brake and clutch servo's. I was just going to replace them - but i saw a servo refurb kit on fleabay. Has anyone tried this - did it work -or was/is it a false economy? (Crap)
