I know it is & has been a lot of work, & it must be very stressful, but I wish I had the skill to be able to do this stuff!!! I think that's why I love reading about it every day.

To be fair checking a fuse is not that skilful and anyone could do it, oh hang on.....

I’d be tempted to have wheels shotblast and painted/powder coated

 

[Ditcha]

The tyre is marked 32/20, I would have thought the wheel was like that.

That could of happened in last couple of weeks just ask the MOT guys

Yes but fitted in 2021. I've no doubt that wheel was rusted like that. But tyre fitter probably only interested in selling the tyres

Staybrites, obviously

And probably a mate of Gareth

I was gonna suggest that, but he is a Scot after all and he probably wouldn’t want to pay for shotblast and paint let alone supporting motherwells finest wheelmaker

Splash the cash, who doesn’t like an Alcoa shine, really transforms your MH, but yes your right, they are always on about Yorkshire people having deep pockets and short arms but it seems that the Scot’s are the real masters, bye now just nipping out for my £6 takeaway hot chocolate from my favourite cofffee shop in Montpellier Cheltenham

For those concerned about my arms is they’ve been aching a lot lately because of all the getting under vans and climbing scaffolds recently…

And the only fisting I’m going to do is to the dogs for chewing my garden and bench to bits….

But I’m always there to give Tam a hand when he needs one…

 

[TinaLes]

We don't want you over doing things Gary, I mean like burning the candle at both ends.
I would suggest upping the Multi-Vits, especially Iron, as we don't want you ending up anaemic do weDont listen to Tam, he is just jealous, you carry on enjoying your lie ins, after all you have a new guest to entertain now.
Best wishes.
LES

They’re only going back under the trims

 

[gus-lopez]

It's never ending with this van .

Took off the fancy shiny wheel trims.

Check oot the rims on this . View attachment 947651View attachment 947652View attachment 947653


Fortunately the scrap yard round the corner has a few ivecos in the yard and £25 a rim . So will get 2 of those and have tyres swapped once I've cleaned up the rims and painted them

I hope you got the nuts with them.? Some of them look fit for the bin

The one thing I have noticed on all new vehicles with steel wheels & hub caps these last few years is how thin a coat of paint is on them & how quickly it disappears to rust?

 

[Mikey RV]

A bit of elbow grease and jobs a good un.

 

[Flairy]

I hadn’t realised how nice my wheels were23years old

 

[Flairy]

They look better now

Yeah it's just a dusting with satin black on them really .


I'm giving these a good 2 coats with black hammerite. Should last a couple of years.

Yes the alloys look nice. Expensive on a dually though .

That said these stainless steel hubcaps on mine ain't cheap. They'll come up nice with a polish too

 

[Northernraider]

Here's a puzzle for you . Does anyone know how this light comes apart

 

[Dutch 68]

No photos Tam? How is the situation behind the wheels? Found more work?
