It’s still going , it’s my wife’s car and is used everyday, the new camshaft and shims fixed the problem, 👍🏻

Don’t know , think they are from Decathlon , I got them 2nd hand

Great place , loch Eil runs into Loch Linnhe which is right next to Ben Nevis ,

Comedy gold 😁

I don’t need to be drunk to fall about, especially in the sea 😁

Since the cam and shims were done not long after the video , the car is running fine

If it’s the bow cover your talking about I bought it 2nd hand sorry

Same one different name , 20psi is what you want 👍🏻 amzn.eu/d/aoVNn0x

Looking back , I loved my Atki, maybe because I past my test on one , at 21 you didn’t bother about the cold 😁

Mine fitted fine , sorry can’t help

Enjoyed the trip Gareth 👍🏻

Definitely 😁

Would get a diagnostic done

Sorry didn’t see your comment, it ended up being a worn camshaft and shims

What do you suggest

I had an solid floor before on my Zodiac , it was quite heavy and two bags to pack in the car , air floor is great for packing and to get ready , solid floor is best with a trailer I believe, and

I did night trunk and store deliveries with one , stearing not good in tight back yards 😁

I was filming with a Mercury 15hp two stroke, my mate in the pic has a 20hp 4 stroke

Pedders sent me a replacement set of from struts, the new ones are fine , still waiting for compensation for the broken windscreen and paying for the replacements getting fitted, 😩

It takes the wheel nuts off but wouldn’t loosen the bolts my mates 1000nm wrench put on 😩

Bought it with the wheels 2nd hand , sorry don’t know who sells them

It was a worn camshaft, replaced the camshaft and fitted new timing chain too , we still have the car running 👍🏻

Hope you enjoy your trip up the east coast, we’ve been to Grannies Heilan Hame site , then traveled over to the west coast to Scourie

@@NeverlateinaV8 we did 4 weeks in on the west coast last year from Falkirk way to see the Kelpies and lift Edinburgh,Glasgow up to the Arisaig,Isle of Mull loved it all,so hoping it will be as good.Thank you.x

3 that should say it's 4 this year!

@@lisagriffiths1343 great that you can get away for 4 weeks , maybe in a couple of years for us , roll on retirement 😁

@@NeverlateinaV8 Indeed it is, retired 6 years ago early,so making the most of it.x

I bought it 2nd hand

Will try and find something better in the future 👍🏻

Hope you have many happy times in your Lunar 👍🏻

We love Ledaig, great for launching the boat and safe area for the paddle board when it’s calm

Yes you were either hot or cold 😁

The Rolls-Royce engine was called the 'Eagle'

Don’t think they moved with the times fast enough

Why, Why, Why? cause they were crap, rubbish, under powered, under braked, Zero consideration for the driver or mechanics that had to work and live with them. Typical of the stuck in the past, stiff upper lip, head in the sand British empire attitude manufacturer's and operators that lorded them as the ultimate tool for the job. If work place health and safety had been around back then there would have been millions of pound compensation claims for the people that had their lives destroyed, by driving them.

Same thing happened to the British motorcycle industry, Japanese made bikes that were far more advanced and didn’t leak oil

@@NeverlateinaV8 Yes we have lost so much. Shipbuilding, Aviation, Motorbikes all lost forever😒🤔

You just have to make the best of it , as Billy Connolly said ,( there’s no such thing as bad weather in Scotland only the wrong coat 😁 )

I loved the F7 Volvo’s when they replaced some of the Atki’s 👍🏻

Stobarts put a lot of them out of business , I had a Seddon Atkinson, 250.,290 and a 320 , all Cummins, not bad motors for the early 80s

@@NeverlateinaV8 Stobart undercut everyone who got in his way,if he couldn’t buy them he forced them out of business by undercutting the rate’s,people thought Stobart was a shining star in the haulage industry when in reality he was a total Arsehole and a ruthless business man. A driver I knew who worked for him said he’d rather be unemployed than work for them,he had a nice fleet and that was about all that could be said about that company,been taken over themselves now thank God.

I didn’t ever think I would work for Stobart , but they have taken over our contract, at least we’re not on the Stobart rate ,

Compared with today’s vehicles like Volvo and Scania they were extremely difficult in winter for warmth and comfort but they were better than a lot of other manufacturers of the day.

Well said !

@@alexrobinson2281 The Swedes made fools out of our manufacturers with Scania and Volvo and that’s why they have taken over our truck and bus industry which Leyland used to dominate,that ridiculous 500 fixed head engine finished Leyland with the amount of warranty claims it had,a firm I worked for had two with more on order,both seized up within months so the boss cancelled them and bought Volvo and never looked back,they were brilliant.

Had a v8 Mandator , spent more time in the workshop , it’s ok looking at these things at a truck show but they were a bag of shite to drive

I past my test on one at 21, drove one for two years after that , definitely got more comfort when we got a Seddon Atkinson and then a F86 Volvo 😁,

I remember a foden that had massive headlights , don’t know what one it was .

Yes that was the one large cab no room inside , i was an O/D at the time and i had it maintained by a local Foden operator who also had a workshop ,at the first MOT i took it to he instructed me to get the rag spanner out before i took it in to the MOT station i had no clue what he was on about he had to explain to wipe all the oil leeks of the engine happy days @@NeverlateinaV8

It was a rain cooled driver too , some of ours had rain coming in the top of the door 😩
