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 .  IMG_1161.thumb.jpeg.7f10023f518f38cad14791beb57bc70b.jpeg

Got the westy ready for Harewood hill climb, early start tomorrow takes 8 hours to get there from here.  Note my artistic slant on numbers,  can never get em straight. 16947041842956651733112398238029.thumb.jpg.33762af7e701faa8acef33c841fe5d53.jpg

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!

Great spot, @Flying Carrot Steve

 

I thought it might be parked down the street for the photo and is going to sit in front of those gates

nope it’s behind the gates and down a ramp.

Electric gates from the road, the caravan is behind locked and barred gates, you have to get the van up the ramp, turn it 90° then reverse out onto the road.

plus you can’t see it from the road unless you’re upstairs on a bus😀
