It depends on how ofay you are or compitant with doing the work yourself. You you find it difficult to get the top of off a can of beans then get someone to do it, on the other hand if you can strip down an engine in the dark with one hand behind your back then go for it.

The boiler sounds like its been disconected, could be due to it being broken so check this out prior to wiring back up - or be careful

Rev counter - could be the cable but not mechanically minded so no idea.

for the cooker it sounds like the ignitor has gone, you should be able to buy and fit a new one

For the bumpers, go down to your local car parts shop or Halfords and search the shelves for relevant restorer

Search internet for upholster in the south. I can recomend a great one up in Derby, you can camp outside so you could make a trip of it. http://www.regalfurnishings.co.uk/

Hope this helps

Cooker .... sounds like this burner is blocked remove & clean out

Bumpers..... use smooth peanut butter, rub on, wipe off. Yes it does work!!

Rev counter.... you will need to remove the binnicle to have it checked easy job

Hand book.... don't think you will find one for the conversion side but workshop books are about for the base vehicle

This might be interesting to you as some faults simply require that the instrument in quistion be disconnected and reconnected, If you do this be sure you have the security code for the stereo etc.

Failing this I think and dont really know but it looks like it's impulse from the crank sensor although it could be a signal from the alternator.

Hiya Wango

If you're after good tyres I would suggest Continental Vanco 2 or whatever has replaced them. We changed from michelin camping tyres a couple of years ago and found these to be more grippy and a lot less noisy.

At the time they were about £80 a wheel fitted etc. but bear in mind you must get as high a load rating as you can find for the price.

Cheers

Harold
