C15 thread

[Eddie Honda]

I've bought from them (SR) before when I was a complete diddy and broke the speedo head connector on my Volvo. They are quite long and correspondingly pricey.

[bub2006]

I've received a box of goodies tonight squire, thank you. As for speedo, I'm living with sat nav as funds are really tight at the moment but I keep looking at prices for when I need to get one.

Mrs H was moaning at me spending so long getting bits that I couldn't really revisit the scrappy for a second day to see if there was one.

 

(Much of the time spent was trying to extract the Aux plug wiring from a 2006 Jizz. She seemed to think the majority of the time was spent getting other people bits. Wimmen!)

That defence doesn't stand up in court

[bub2006]

Tis true unfortunately

[bub2006]

After receiving the rear corner cover today I've decided I'm going to have a crack at welding up the holes which means the back light will stay In Without gaffer tape. Any hints and tips welcome please. I've some steel, primer, white paint and wax oil.

[Guest Hooli]

If it blows holes turn it down, if the torch is pushed away from the weld turn the feed down.

 

 

Basicy get some scrap & fuck about till you've got a clue.

Must admit i'm loving having a van too. If I'd known how cheap the insurance was I'd have done it ages ago. Always had a soft spot for the C15, used to deliver the motorhome versions when new and an old boss had one as a company run about. Great work on getting it fixed.

Surprised at this too - I've been getting quotes to keep my shonky Trafic on after I bin my trade insurance and they're really quite cheap!

Also make sure you clean the area being welded back to clean, shiny metal, you can't weld properly to rust.

[bub2006]

I know all the basics just worried that's all. Been a while since I had a job like that. The door pin was done out of necessity though

[bub2006]

Well I've a job on tomorrow. A run to Preston with a old school moped. It fits lovely in the back of the van. Pics in the morning. May try taking some arty shots of the peak district on the way up as I'm taking the scenic route

[purplebargeken]

Nice one mate

[bub2006]

Thing is I quite like the moped. I used to have one and bought back funny memories

[bub2006]

So on the way back from Mr wobbles house this happened....

[Six-cylinder]

Not the first van this has happened too!

[bub2006]

Seems a common thing then? No centre support on them

[Six-cylinder]

This was the result for ours.

[Six-cylinder]

£78 for the complete system last September.

[bub2006]

That's a bloody good price. Everything else seems OK though and it's out my budget at the minute so I'm going to weld it up tomorrow

[DodgyBastard]

My cat fell off on the way home from buying my c15. I welded a straight pipe in instead.

[garbaldy]

That's just what I was going to suggest,

Would certainly tide you over untill you have some spare cash.

[bub2006]

Well I was going to weld it but I ain't lying in the snow just yet!

[Eddie Honda]

Lie on a bin bag and get on with it?

[bub2006]

I'm on it now

It'd be easier if you were under it. 

[Tamworthbay]

Be gentle with the welder, very easy to blow holes in exhausts.

[bub2006]

It's done. Not pretty but it's sealed.

[nacho man]
