Yes i forgot to add that, she did get an advisory on the MOT for a bit of play in the pivot pin, i take it that the King pin So i`ll need to get myself a grease gun

[montym100]

any advice on sound proofing and what type of carpet to use in the front cab?

Even though the steering is heavy and quite a bit of play (must need adjustment) a little noisy i love just pottering about in her

Were hoping to take it to Robin Hoods Bay for a couple of days later this month just to give her a try out. But think i may do a bit of rewire as there`s no Consumer unit and fit a few lights inside too.
I`m not fully clued up on what i need but i`m learning, i was thinking of buying one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GARAGE-CONSUM ... 3368768531 what MCB`s do i need? this one comes with 16amp and 6amp, will the 6amps be ok for fitting lights?
Thinking of fitting 4 sockets, will that be ok with this RCD unit?

Also going to buy some sound proofing and carpet from http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ for the front cab to make it a bit more quite.
Also need to check all fluids ie Rear diff, gearbox etc

What type of grease gun do i ned for the old girls nipples?

Hoping to go away for a few days next week so i`ve fitted a new sink but waiting for new tap and drainage fitting, bought a stove with a grill of ebay. Started cleaning inside and washed the seat cushions and pillow cases and had the hoover out

The campsite is booked up for Hookups so i`ve ordered a 100amp split charger and going to replace the battery with 125amp leisure type. Just need to rewire the radio, 12v light and the triple cig light thing so they run from the 2nd battery. The water pump for the sink and the tiny fridge is already wired.

Ordered carpet and sound proofing for the front cab from Woolies, that should be here soon. Alot to do.

Just an update,

Ripped old carpet out of the front cab, found a little rust


Sanded


Painted


Sound deadening going down




Sound deaning on the bulkhead and split charger installed

[Neil]

don t mind me but should that felt not be on the inside of the bulkhead

[davev6newman]

It would have been easier to do it on the inside and then covered it in carpet i think. But nether the less good job done.

Could also stick some to the underside of bonnet, if your not too worried about the look of it.

[Neil]

its fireproof then

[montym100]

It`s not finished yet guys lol, the felt goes all the way up the bulk head on the inside just that i had to paint the floor 1st and then i ran out of spray adhesive for the bulk head section. The carpet is already cut so hopefully tomorrow the front cab should be finished, more photo`s to come

The Felt in the engine bay is Fire retardant to BS FMVSS302 bought from http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-126-felt.aspx
