The resurrection of Doc, bringing a 20 year old neismann Bischoff Flair back to life after 12 years off road.

So we are now parked up for the night at woodhenge , never been here before so thought I'd check it out as did stonehenge before . Dry but windy here .


Few issues today with van, gear knob came off in my hand 3 feckin times today changing from 1st to 2nd which was a right pain in the ass. I've glued it on tonight with some ob1 ...hopefully that sorts it.

I'm getting a few water drips landing on the dash which I'm really hoping is condensation from the roller blind and not a leak .. no other sign of a leak .

Still getting this vibration and pulling on front left hand side .. was really noticeable today on some roads, some road surfaces are worse than others. Need to have another look at thst as it really spoils the drive.

I lowered the tyre pressures today after I got here from 65psi to 60psi to see if that makes any difference.

B2b wasn't doing its job properly so I need to change how that's working.

Feckin dash cam also doing weird shit going on and off all the time . Not sure the way I've wired it in is agreeing with it.

Anyway all stupid stuff really

I'd like to find what's causing that vibration with front wheel , I'm wondering if maybe the shocks aren't the best on the front . Often they don't leak they just get weak . So hard to identify.

Might buy a set before I leave UK and will fit them in the sun somewhere.

Never heard of Woodhenge before so will have to look it up.

Hope you get your minor issues sorted and get to the bottom of the pulling to one side problem.

I had heard of it ,I'm sure it came up in history at school, I believe it existed before stonehenge. Of course what's there now isn't original as the wood rotted and they've just put concrete pillars where the stumps were .. but you get the idea I guess.

Interesting place though, if dry we can have a good walk around tomorrow

Someone was mentioning some upgraded shocks which made a huge difference, some German brand?

I did consider them about 18 x months ago, but found them really expensive, so opted for 4 x Monroe Van Magnums which have definitely made a difference to our ride, bearing in mind we also have all round air suspension.

Cheers,

Jock.
