It's time to start a proper thread on my motorhome as I've already started doing a few little jobs. My plans for it are to use it and enjoy it as it is while doing any jobs as and when they pop up, as well as making any upgrades that I think it needs.
so far I've changed the oil and filter, plugs, fuel hoses, it already had a new set of points and condenser, I've got a set of plug leads, thermostat air filter and heater hoses to fit, I'm having trouble finding top and bottom hoses now. After having a good mooch, poke and prod around it I've decided that I don't like the look of the water tank that's underneath so my first planned mod (when I get around to it) is to turn the water tank into a storage locker that is accessible from inside, that way I can fit a leisure battery in there (which it doesn't have at the moment) that won't take up room under the bench.

Just a brief update, I've finally got hold of a decent pair of mirrors to go on the doors. I've also had to fill out a NOVA form as it turns out it wasn't registered in this country and I'm now waiting for the V5. Just out of interest does anyone have a vin plate decoder?

Thanks for your kind comments. The best news of all is that after having to fill out a NOVA form, then apply for registration, it's now on the road and I cant wait to use it

Sorry if I missed it, but why the NOVA? Is the camper a repatriation from Malta?

Sorry if I missed it, but why the NOVA? Is the camper a repatriation from Malta? It was taken to the Irish Republic in 1998 and came back a couple of years ago

Ah right the Republic. Hadn't thought of that. I could see the van's RHD. If it's originally a UK van, it should just be a matter of retrieving the original registration.
