Reflex Silver T28.....First van build
Yesterday was a good day! Re-carpeted the roof panels that I managed to do the wrong side of a few weeks back and developed a (genius if I say so myself) solution for a 3rd set of hands using a bike maintenance stand with the head removed! Went in like an absolute dream and mega happy with the...
You are a legend , many thanks
The usb has a digital display, will this not drain the battery as the live seems permanent?
If the display is fed off the positive then yes, it’ll be a drain.
Did an oil and filter change and popped a new sump plug in. Castrol Edge 5w30. All courtesy of Opie Oils.
Also used a Millers engine flush first.
Bought some of the Miller’s diesel additive while I was on the Opie site so I’ll give that a go at the next fill.
Then I painted the rear calipers orange to match the fronts.
And to finish it all off I put my Devonports back on ready for the trip to Norway at the end of the month.

Hunter 4 wheel alignment

Wheel Alignment - Essex
Anyone recommend somewhere around south Essex to get four wheel alignment done once I popped my new wheels on over the next few days.
Been using Millers diesel additive from the time I first filled up my van when new last year and use it with every fill up. 150 engine and the lifetime average mpg is just over 40mpg over 7000 miles so far. A lot better than I was expecting and I put some of that down to the Millers.
Would love to get the callipers on my van painted orange. What paint did you use please? They look well covered in strong colour.
This is the one I got https://amzn.eu/d/2NxHroK
I used some metallic pearl orange from eBay.
The paint is quite thick and is cellulose based and goes tacky so fast it’s hard to work with. Literally if you brush it a second time to catch a run then it drags.
They’ve all had 3 coats.
When I put my 20” wheels back on I’ll give them all a flat off with wet n dry and give them a nice final coat with thinned down mix.
