    If your ignition switch dies - remember to park it facing down the way on a hill so you can bump it.


    When bumping remember to push it for a little while up to speed. Be prepared by having a second person have the bus in second gear with the clutch down and throttle on. When reached a little speed let the clutch out slowly whilst turning the key. Your running to get to home or a garage :)
     
  5. Wow "handy hints and top tips", I love it, here's one...... some toothpaste and an elastic band make a great substitute for chewing gum.
    I use one of those osotnic drink bottles for topping up my oil, that little stopper function on the end prevents any spillage !
     
  6. Measure twice, Cut once
     
  7. It's at the top of all technical drawings and is one of the greatest statements ever "If in doubt.......Ask" This is one forum where you can be assured of getting an answer ;D

  9. Small tip....
    If you need to run a cable from the front off the van to the back, run a multicore cable instead of a single one, as no doubt one day in the future the extra core(s) will be needed and already be in position.
    I have done this by running 4 lots of 4 core cables from the engine bay to the kickpanel (leaving slack at each end) and slowly I am using each core one by one fitting things like rev counters, oil gauges etc.
