I guess the one thing I'm not so chuffed about is the front roof section which seems to have been made up of 3 pieces when 1 would be infinitely better - fair bit of resealing to be done:

Looking forward to seeing some of you at sunny Moffat next month. :wave:

Sadly, can't follow any of the links Neil - don't know why. I just have to wait for Moffat to see your new home from home :banana:

2.8 iveco donkys are good,do make sure the belt and tensioner have been done,mine is old type injection where yours will be electronic, change oil often with either 15/40 or 10/40.
Let the gear box warm up before belting through the gears,there is a type of oil for them which is something to do with what they call yellow bearings,i think it is a 80/90 grade though mine could do with 75/90 as tricky to change in cold but yours will be the new unit 6 speed,health to wear.:banana:

Why not give it a proper trial run..

Terrific build quality on a Laika, and I think you have a ‘ski locker’ going from one side to the other, brilliant, but not sure which window to queue at, for my pancakes.
Clarification urgently needed!
Oh and by the way..... Congratulations!

Photos might be a bit grainy but what a nice van built like a tank.

You won't believe it, but that did actually cross my mind when we were looking at it !!! :lol-049::lol-049::lol-049:

The rear "burger van" hatch on the Autosleeper was so convenient. Hmm. I'll work something out ....

Cream Tea Land ---- Devon

That's definitely scenic, Chris! (i.e. a well big detour )

 

[NeilyG]

Could have sworn everything worked when I checked it at the time. Anyway, got the ones from the seller's site by a different means this time:

As I was saying, not so happy with above the windscreen - bits & pieces need resealing.

 

[winks]

I like a das Laika.:camper::cheers:

Health and happiness to you.

Cheers

Maggy sends her congratulations Marie, she remembers you talking about wanting one, does it have a marine toilet?, the one we once considered had a marine toilet with a large holding tank but had a cassette underneath it that you could also use, I didn't get the chance to see how that arrangement worked but it would be great for wilding

Lovely to see you have got the van you wanted. Hope you have many happy years touring in it.......can wait to see it in the flesh.
