If I knew how. Although I reckon I could find the one of the girl playing tennis, scratching her bum.
Seeing it in the flesh, okay aluminium, will be my Christmas present to you. You'll get sod all else.
 
Not me, but Andy (of @andyjanet ) fitted a water deflector under the bonnet to divert the scuttle water from pooling on the head with the injectors.
Hopefully not to late, but better late than never :)

Refitted the headlight after front being partly stripped down to sort out the leaking fuel filter and previously checked all the lights, fluids and tyres ready for MOT in the morning 😟
 
Put a fan heater in mine for just over an hr to keep any moisture at bay, then as i clossed the garage up & over one of the tension wires snapped, new one ordered on the bay, full kit £7, what a job getting the door down and locked. :confused:

Trev, all you are doing is creating condensation when heating for an hour only.
Air flow is the key, I’ll pop the windows and door incl garage, to allow fresh air to flow through the MH. Think I’ll through in the dehumidifier in overnight to check what moisture is gathered overnight.
 
I've just dropped the van off at the garage, as it needs the clutch replaced.
The slave cylinder is leaking and unfortunately it's inside the clutch bell housing.
We had a problem with it on our way to Goosnargh, the only good thing to come out of this, is it could have failed in the middle of Europe in January.
 
Worked on the van helping to fit solar and b2b charger , many many thanks to wildebus (David ) who has worked thru rain snow and frost in mucky cold conditions to give me 52 amps of b2b and 455 watts of solar ,
Hope you have a well earned rest and your van sails thru it’s mot today
 
Whilst on our way to further top up our log supply we nipped into the van's storage yard to put in some spare towels and generally check it over. Solar panel maintaining the batteries, and we left feeling reassured.

Think first time fitting underwater solar panels! :D
Sitting in a cafe with a full breakfast waiting for MOT results :unsure:
 
MOT fail :( Handbrake below requirement, (which is a mite annoying as I paid a 4 figure sum to get various parts of the rear brakes fixed, including the handbrake, just 15 months and under 3,000 miles ago!).

It may come as no surprise now that it was by the same lot that failed to do the fuel filter properly.

Rebooked for next Friday and having an Oil Service done while there :)

Glad you liked the first picture Jeff. Here’s a couple more. Not as attractive as the first, but Sel La Vie.🫣

Looks well made Mr T, hinged at the bottom, is there a sealing grommet all round to keep the water out?

Edit, should there be red reflective triangles fitted to rear box Mr T?

1, Sealed all round
I could have fitted it in any aspect, decided a drop down would be best. That way, if I fitted a check strap, I'd have a shelf.

2, Look at Gordon's reply. Might look at diagonal strips though.
