EuroTrash liv'in in a van down by the river. 😅

Anecdotes about our one. We had a matt black super carry at uni, later refinished as a police van. When you run out of gas, you can put your hands on each window from the inside and rock the whole van to get more fuel to drop down near the pickup. If you forget the keys, you can do a CPR compression on the side window, combined with a prompt sideways push, and it will unlatch and slide open. Also, if you forgot your keys, or if you wanted to play a prank on your flatmate by parking it somewhere else, you could unplug the key barrel and hotwire it with zero knowledge, trial and error in about 10 seconds, shorting pins in the connector until you hear the fuel pump tick and then the starter turn over.

I wish you eould have turned that phone into a batman phone.

The 3.3K resistor is to reduce to the ringing current to a REN value of 1, the pinky-red component is a rectifier made from two back to back 1N4001 diodes in parallel, this is to limit the ear-splitting pop you get on the receiver when tapping the switch hook, it's installed across the handset receiver terminals (green and red).

Don't forget to fit a Rotatone now

Hi. Not sure if anyone's mentioned this but in Canada they have these types of "temporary" wheels if you have a puncture. In the UK and most of Europe they give you a spare wheel to match your other 4. In Canada and I believe the US, cars are bought with a "doughnut" (name of wheel), in case of emergencies. A temporary measure to get you to the repair shop.

I done same lived in one for 4 years while i built my house, sold it for 2 k more than i payed for it, couldn't beat it, winter is no joke in one but rental of s house while building a house isnt an option

I have one of these in original mint condition. tuned out at 8 mins due to far too much waffle.

Goodbye lovely, old, little shit box! You'll be missed by people you've never even met.

I don't have a car and an not the least interested in them, beyond the historical and technical sides - I'd even go so far as to say they are one of the biggest scourges of the modern world... So why am I sitting here holding back tears when your little campervan is taken away, never to be seen again?!

goodbye old friend 🫡

Sad seeing her go

Hi Australian guy stumbled on your life bouy rescue WW11 video well done interesting l was a huge model maker of anything WW11 and love movies etc. Funny l use to work for a Construction/Mining Company as a spraypainter and used a dumptruck same as your Lister. I loved running around in it prefect for my job carry painting supplies? Just be careful the starting crank handle is removed quickly as it can kill. Hope to see more from .Bye Terry

You can look up the manufacture date on the engine from the engine No, when starting just start one cylinder, the engine itself will start the other for you.

👍👍

Absolutely beautiful, I could live very comfortably in this.

What a great machine in great condition! I learned to drive on one of these before I had a driving licence. Because of the long stick and sloppy gearbox, rather than grasping around to find it, I got in the very bad habit of driving along with left hand always on the gearstick, something that my driving instructor constantly told me off for later! You will probably find you can take off in any gear because the engine revs very low without stalling, and it's also possible to crash the gears when moving without using the clutch. The second notch on the tipper lowers the lip, for easier loading with a shovel, just stand/jump on the back of the tipper body (or the handle) to lock it back once it's loaded. The stiff steering is probably down to the back wheels, the originals on these would have had very slim solid tyres with deep longitudinal grooves, to minimize the scrub, but even still quite heavy to steer when not moving. Bigger steering wheel may help. You are lucky with the seat because the original was likely just a pressed metal thing like an old fashioned tractor seat, not the most comfortable over bumps with no suspension! Not sure if yours is the same but the brakes I recall were fully mechanical (no Hydraulics) with a manual adjuster 'gear' wheel (like a thumb wheel) that you have to poke/lever with a flat screwdriver though a slot on the back of the brake drum. As the brakes wear they need to be adjusted to maintain performance (ha ha what performance?) just wind them up until tight on and then back a notch or two, only takes a couple of minutes once you get the hang of it.

Watching a Static Caravan get delivered never gets old 😮

I've got my computer wired to be Sky router and no drop in the internet speed because it's wired I suppose

I just wonder, when you identified two compression valves, how can you say "it's one cylinder engine" :D

It's a twin cylinder engine..I can see the two heads at 7 35.

You should get in contact with the team at Lawrie's mechanical marvels. Lawrie has one like yours

Ruby and Suby, great combination. Now all we need is a video about the Suby.

The SN started with 53, could that be the year of manufacture?

Thanks, Calum. It's nice to see old machines brought back to life and, before too long I imagine, put to work. Oh, and if you need new wheels take a look outside the pub next Saturday night - bound to be a Toyota or a Landrover or two. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing Calum 👍

Loved this taking us along with your learning experience Hot and midgies eh? Not so much here! Lxxx

That be a two cylinder ... Couple of rolls of exhaust wrap might reduce the burn risk. You do need to master the decompression levers or you'll reduce the life of engine. Grease the snot out of everything (should be a few grease nipples around). Check the air filter ... looks to be the oil bath kind and not everyone remembers to put oil in them! You might want to add a citronella candle and a bottle of deet to the starting procedure 😱🤣

This was actually really interesting - not a vehicle I ever thought I'd find fascinating but really cleverly designed. Any chance of seeing the Subaru go for a rally around Raasay?

Wow this dudes handsome

Been following your channel for a while and decided to go back in time. Sad though, there is always some demented r-sole who has the brains of a coprolite writing some crap in the comments. Only one problemI have, not enough of your superb videos. I did like the bald tyres on that American arctic vehicle.

looking to live on raasay any caravans to live in
