sounds good which year is it .it may be a little large for our needs.

its a 2001 model valued at £4500 but thats negotiable ( the racks were nearly £500 new and the bedroom annexes gofor about £250.00/275.00 if you can find them) , it will come with hook up lead , step, gas bottle,fresh and waste water containers etc , in fact everything you need except bedding and crockery.
Has a king sized bed over the tow bar , a double at the other end and the table and chair bit of the lounge makes a third double

fitted the round thingy this morning,
first signs are very pleasing,
smoother throttle response and no stuttering on exiting roundabouts even in third gear !!!
still on the electric pump at the moment but at least the tank return pipe is no longer stuffed full of exhaust manifold stud.
even seemed to start a bit quicker when warm.

should be getting the recon starter I bought from ebay in the next couple of days ,
cost £10.00 + £6.50 postage as was in a clearance sale and no one else bid

Starter arrived today but too wet to fit it, going to put my new coil on and treat it to a new set of plugs and leads.
Hopefully (with help) clean the lhm tank and filters at cxm and may even get around to wiring up the fogs (just theswitch to do and feed the wire through the dash)

Wow what a good week we've had (someones sure to screw it up for us) folding camper sold on Tuesday for almost the asking price,New starter fitted and works fine and last night we sold the Hyundai.
Julie has found a caravan to replace the folding camper and although the KIA would tow it, at 27 foot long I think its a bit big still, there's no great rush for a new caravan so will wait and see

Knew I should have kept quiet,
seems I may have a duff cell in the battery and a nice leak from the bottom hose and finally I have used a litre of LHM in the last week ( light came on today )
On the plus side Julie compromised on the caravan and our new ( to us ) 1995 Avondale arrives (hopefully ) on Wednesday

Good times water leak sorted


Bad times, cambelt on the Sedona snapped today

[mat_fenwick]

That sucks Was it anywhere near being due for a change? Is there any warranty on it?

[Mickey taker]

Need to check, it would have been done last week as part of a full service but my tame mechanic was on holiday.
What annoys me is when Julie phoned the garage before we bought it I asked her to ask when the belt was last done and the guy told her that this model had a timing chai. Not a belt so we didn't have to worry

[Mickey taker]

Still,its thanks to your idea the bc is back on the road Mat,thanks mate

[Mickey taker]

Had a great day at cxm,thanks to Matthew (mulley ) for the lhm change,filter cleaning and brake bleeding session and also for the K+N filter and also thanks to kitch for the new plug leads oh and Mike for bringing the roof rack

[MULLEY]

Glad to help mate, fingers crossed you have some more good luck soon. How is the suspension now after the change? & does the k&n feel as though the car has a bit more grunt?

[Tim Leech]

Well done Matt, if you fancy doing my 19TZI let me know as the brakes are rather spongy!

[MULLEY]

Bring it round Tim, no worries

Thanks buddy, need to get some "rent" on it, but that will come when October's bonus does!
