Can I bridge anything to get it going??

Yep - ensure it's in neutral, then bridge the battery feed to the starter (top ring terminal) and the solenoid spade terminal. Like this (the white arrows):

Art b tinkerin with anything electrical for anyone who needs a bit of help...

Rickyrooo1 - replacing front shocks, sorting out rear brakes (mot man said handbrake efficiency was squiffy), greasing front beam, checking steering box oil and probably fitting a new steering damper if i fetch one in time.

Campercat2 - Learning it all .

BaySearcher - general loafing

1973daisey - cake supplier to the stars

Brothernumberone - tidying my wiring up.

Mattlad - sleeping

Robo - finish the job I started last Sept

Jack Tatty - fitting the door rubbers I've had for well over a year, and making sure the bus is usable well before September.

Davidoft - Eating 1973daiseys cakes and fitting my cigarette lighter socket , and teaching malc to weld a bit

SkutterBo - Replacing both heater control cables and some electrical work.

Merlin Cat - wandering around looking at other people's work unless I can narrow down to one thing that I think I can do (with a bit of help from a knowledgable person!)

dubster - Maybe shocks (sound like a nice group to get into), maybe service, maybe trying to get my roof on straight, maybe a bit of this and bit of that, maybe nothing at all but making coffee and drinking cider!

surfgir1 - Studying and also adopting SkutterBob's heater cable control cable fitting task, fitting poptop gas struts, and frankly having just finished work on it today with far too little progress having been made, desperately hoping I won't be sleeping in an empty interior!

PeaSoup - Planning on coming but no idea what I might attempt doing yet!

Beaver - eating drinking and sleeping.

pkrboo - coming but not sure what I am doing yet. Maybe change/ clean front brake pads as they are a bit squeaky atm

Spacecowboyuk - General engine maintenance, timing etc and probably brakes.

Sir Arthur - Replacing fuel filler neck with help from Peasoup. Refitting radio aerial to get some sort of reception. Learning how to adjust tappets (and in the process fit a new rocker cover). Bringing stuff from S1mon for brothernumberone and spacecowboy.

Zed - Dozing.

physiopro - Fitting immobiliser, sussing out why brakelights don't work properly, tweaking sliding door, learning how to behave properly when out on my own! Free Physio

skirk - Hopefully work permitting.Not sure what for but definitely drinking.Should be with Mrs Skirk and the hairy children.

Wigglesworth - Depending on time & money we would be interested in looking at front shocks, breaks, oil on fan belt and back firing issue when d-accelerating from speed. We would also like to fit a tracker. We will bring cakes and some wood.

baybirmingham - doing shocks (if not already done) shocks done, so just front anti roll bar. And some or all of the following (as I have been gathering parts): modifying my accelerator pedal with Rose Joints, front seat fettling, new handbrake handle, new totem cable. And some drinking.

vdub brvs - me doing nothing and my brv moaning at me. Doing exhaust if I remind zed to bring one ,eat drink and sleep will be the order of the day.

Louey - providing smugness and shelter. I might also work out the fitting of a GPS Tracker

Razzyh - running after 2 kids as wife is away!

bryandsi - eating cake and generally standing around saying "you don't want to do it like that..."

3 crispies - hopefully fitting quickshift and bushes before the curry

sANDYbAY - hoping for some help from some big strong boys when I swap the mechanism on my Poptop

Datsolow - petrol pump if I don't change before then & chilling away from London smog!!

Basil78 - well hoping its not too late to try and come. Have spent the last weekend fixing a fuel smell with my hands through the firewall and the paint lid, in the dark. Now realise I need some help. Hoping to sort out the automatic choke and get it starting better from cold and also see if I can work out why it won't drive in a straight line. And pick up some tips....is it too late?

paulcalf - learning how to set tappets and change oil, then trying to do it! Trying to identify what is causing the knocking noise underneath (not from engine).

Dont be backwards at speaking to people. Folk might be engrosed in what they are doing or (if they are me) readin a book in the bright sunshine being fed grapes and quaffing chateau le chateau!! (or more likely fixing something!)

Is 'Packung' some kind of martial art, or perhaps a post-industrial German deconstruction expressionist art movement?

Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

Welcome @Angela to the TE family, its an odd bunch but that's the nature of family.

You will learn plenty but sadly not just about van maintenance.
