Always surprises me how much the dash structure rusts. Was the same on my 12. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Great thread

The other ramp I have access to is not man enough to lift fatty... I have had another chat with my mate and we have a cunning plan... watch this space for pictures of an oil soaked floor and me squashed under the ramp...!!!

Have to say, that does look much better. I would not have the balls/expertise to attempt it though!

You also did well on your brake discs Pete at £76.95 each incl VAT with the forum discount. I just got quoted £113 each incl VAT and discount from Duckworths for an 02 4.4 petrol.

Seems like it's cheaper to maintain a 5.0 s/c! Another reason for me to buy one then.

Cheers, it's getting there.... The dash is quite easy to remove, just a few thousand screws and a load of clips, you just need to know which way things come off... plenty of videos on youtube to help... just be warned, as much as I like PowerfulUK their videos make it look far to easy and they tend to gloss over tricky bits..!!

If you can use that man maths then yes, buy an S/C... They are supposed to be the most reliable L322 ever made so that's another reason...

Nice job on the interior, I really didn't like the wood. Much better like this now.

Now just got to repaint the exterior black as well, and paint the wheels black and it will be perfect

How strange, I soooooo much prefer the wood, can't wait to swap the piano black out of mine.

Just need the wood bits to come back my way pete  Remember:- amateurs built the ark

Same here, the only thing I don't like on my fatty ist the Lined Oak/Anthracite trims, would have prefered some wood.

Finally got the V5 back today, bought it on 16th May... they must have a lot on furlough at DVLA...

At least I got to put my reg number on it...

Todays job was to get rid of this... maximum 48mph for 30 miles, a totally ridiculous space saver, the massive amount of space it saved was full of polystyrene anyway, hardly saved any space...!!!

Like most things mate, excellent when it works, costs a fortune when it doesn't...  Pete

Is that jack the original one, if yes.....

when you going to get rid of it..you know its useless.

I think the TPMS just tells you if one tyre is going flat, don't think it will tell you the pressures...

And yes, just haven't got round to throwing the jack out.... I'd call out our breakdown service if I get a flat, not chancing jacking 2.7 tons by the side of the road, even with a Sprinter jack..!! Pete
