It's French, it's beige. Am I on the correct forum?

Be very careful with the headlights they are no longer available and rocking horseshit to find good ones. The expert on them has the reflectors replated. I presume it is the 1.4 petrol which explains the being slow.

A friend has got one but a minibus, not been on the road for many years. It's a diesel and one year he took his Mrs and 5 kids with a sizeable caravan on the back of it to France. I reckon that's the real definition of slow!

I hope it works out for you YP.

It is a 1721, I dread to think how slow the 1400 is.
The headlights only just scraped through the MOT last year, I may need to borrow the headlights from my brother's to get it through again.
Someone on the owners group has started reconditioning them, though.

It is a 1721,

Does it have a crappy Zenith carb like the Volvos? Warpy, porous floaty utter shite.

What size are yous on about?

I think it is 3.9kg that Calor have stopped, not sure though as I have never bought gas before.

It has a Weber carb on it now, most people change to the Weber nowadays.

Regards calor stopping some bottles. You can get refillable bottles from company which name eludes me that can be refilled with lpg at petrol station

[FhakeConcern]

That is bloody lovely, so much more unusual than a T25/T4/T5 etc and much more class as it's French.
Does taking the lights to bit and cleaning the reflectors and lens make any difference?

Anyway good luck with that. Also I expect your daughter will love going in the upstairs bed!

Doubt it. Glass would be fine, but the reflector coating will turn to dust just by looking at it.

What a glorious thing. To me this is proper AS- not someone trying to run a 21st century derv on veg.

Good luck with it.
