bub2006 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think that fella is following you...... Seriously though it's like a shite version of shipping wars. If they do another series you should apply to go on it. Spend the fees on an LDV lol Sent from my D6603 using TapatalkThe odd fella in the black coat? Yea he was bloody everywhere. Like the tailgating microcar all way to Macclesfield. Shipping wars could be fun.

bub2006 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Headlight advice please welcomed. The headlights on the c15 are dire. I've got h4 bulbs with the large collors on seated correct so decent bulbs. The reflection inside the bottom of the lamp has deteriorated so that needs to be addressed first. Can they be recorded? Also do the headlamp run through a relay? If not would fitting one make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Might be a good idea to fit a relay, doubt it would do any harm mate. I'm not sure if it is t hat easy to get headlights re-silvered nowadays. Might be worth trying to search out NOS perhaps and fit some Osram Nightbreakers or similar.

bub2006 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Pain in arse fitting other bulbs though due to larger collar. May try baking foil and a relay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Right boys and girls, settle down and settle in for an update. I went over to storage for some bits the other day and on the way back the van blew the rad. Looks like a bullet exit wound under bonnet. I was only 6 mile from home so regular water top ups and steady driving seen me and the boy blunder home without issue. Cleaned rad and fitted it. Bled out and the coolant seemed to get hot pretty fast. Took it a steady run down the way and back only a couple of miles and it's not looking good. It has a really loud metallic ringing at idle, coolant has a steady stream of small bubbles and the engine is breathing really heavy,smokeout of every orifice and smells of burning hot oil. I've said to the wife I'd like a project but it looks like one has found me! The van needs a few bits so here goesEngine work(swap or repair) Tyres getting readyRear beam repaired or replaced Speedo drive swapping overWelding on rear end and sillDriveshafts and a top mountDoor and windscreen seals as it's letting water in somewhere. Rust remedy around the windscreen. Going to take some time on my hours but I know what it needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Bub is fairly capable and I think C15s are worth saving. It won't be turned around without spending a lot of time and a bit of money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They_all_do_that_sir Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Do you not need it for work? If time off work = time not earning I'd agree with twosmoke and encourage you to buy a blingo, and then sort the c15 at your leisure Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've got the c2 for getting to paid employment. Man and van side is dire if I'm honest. Last few jobs I've had I can use a trailer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Right folks. I've made a decision and sadly it's not looking too good. The situation I'm in means I can't afford to do all the work on the van and I've not enough jobs coming in to warrant the repairs. It owes me nearly £300 that I've put in to it, mot due in April. Needs engine looking at, back axle is knock kneed, needs a bit of welding and let's water in somewhere. I'd like to try and let it go to someone rather than scrap it. Any interest in it please speak up. I don't want much for it, just enough to sort the c2 niggles and to make a decent donation back to this fine place as has been discussed with others. I've some spares but I'm going to ask foad whether he wants them back. It does start and run but no guarantees on how far, has some paperwork and mot till April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 You should buy a 56 plate Berlingo for £300 or whatever from Cannock shite auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Keep the spares with the van, they would be best put to use by the new owner. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
