    I've just bought a 101 Ambulance... (YAY ME!)

    I've nipped outside and got my hands and knees dirty looking under the back for the convoy light. I'm happy to report that it is present. Blending in nicely with the rest of the underside's light coating of crud! My chassis hasn't been galvanised though. As for tyres, i've just sent a message to...

    I'll admit to not looking for that light yet. This morning before work i was investigating the fuel pump. I think the reason it pops and bangs and misfires when under load is the fact that it has the original 'in tank' fuel pump in situ with another tiny one hanging loose on the fuel pipes above...

    I won't resort to drilling them out just yet as i haven't had anything to use to try to undo them. I think you'd find it pretty boring now as i believe the base is almost closed with local talk of it being sold for developement.

    After noticing a little paper sticker in the gearbox tunnel had got 'Serial no. 72GJ27 on it, i thought, is that a military reg? i went to https://merlinarchive.uk/ and typed in the number and it came back with the records below. I then sent £48 to Gaydon and they sent me back a certificate...

    What did they say when you told them your van has gone missing and you can't get it back?

    At the moment i'm still battling with the brakes... I bought a set of shoes front and back yesterday. Jacked up the back and removed the wheel.(bloody heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!) Couldn't find my big phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws. Dug out my impact driver only to find the phillips bits...

    BEWARE WHEN DEALING THROUGH EBAY

    Euro Car Parts do that. Selling parts on ebay cheaper than in the shop. MInd you they also sometimes have discounts so cheap that Joe Public can buy parts cheaper than the trade can. My cousin had some customers asking why they were charging so much for parts? When he showed them on his computer...

    BEWARE WHEN DEALING THROUGH EBAY

    When Herpes announced their new name on Twitter one of the replies was "is that because you lose EVRI parcel?"

    BEWARE WHEN DEALING THROUGH EBAY

    I've gone further. I ask which company they use to deliver parcels. If it's Herpes, or Evri, i tell them i'll buy elsewhere as i don't want the agro when the parcel doesn't arrive.

    BEWARE WHEN DEALING THROUGH EBAY

    How much time have we got?? OK then... They are a bunch of useless B**tards! I ordered a stirrup pump to pressurise my air rifle from one seller and a sight mount from another. They were both delivered by the same Evri twit who left the pump standing upright leaning against my front door. The...

    I've dealt with Foundry on several occasions and found them to be good. They also turn up at shows too. Possibly be at Stoneleigh next month.

    The ones Able sell are direct copies of the originals, but in aluminium. I'm still in two minds as to buy alloy or plastic and fit some 'teapot' covers on them :)

    How much were your alloy reservoirs? I couldn't find them on Carbuilder's website. They are over £210 for the set from Able Engineering.

    I've just bought a 101 Ambulance... (YAY ME!)

    I've already had a look at their stock. Compiled a long list of parts that i'd like. Currently trying to decide on whether to buy new plastic brake/clutch fluid reservoirs or opt for their ally ones. I should be picking up a full set of brakes shoes and rear wheel cylinders after work on...
