DamperMan Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Did a 1200 mile trip down France in my 34 year old campervan. Just a few minor niggles… my magnetic sticker was GB not UK. The cruise control stopped working until I bypassed the clutch switch. Wiper arm stopped so needed tightening. And the bulb in the speedo died. 38.5 mpg first tank, 42mpg second tank, and I’ve not filled then3rd . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaykay42 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thanks to my father-in-law today we managed to: Replace cam followers New cambelt Helicoil for 1 rocket cover bolt Thanks to my neighbour letting me use his drive we even stayed dry in the rain showers. Thanks to my wife we were fed and watered. Hopefully the annoying (worrying?) tapping sound will now completely disappear. Run it for about 10-15min, got quieter, will give it a drive tomorrow when it's dry (hopefully). Good day all round! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
