Hi,
Happy to say I've just bought a Traveller, by no means immaculate but well maintained.
Collected it on a boiling hot day last week & drove it 260+ miles home, not so much as a spanner on me, let alone breakdown cover!
Only hitch was needing to buy some pvc tape to bodge up a split heater hose that decided to drip hot water on my foot!
Pretty good for a car that has only done a few miles in the last few decades...I'm still grinning!
I see the Devon club meets at the Cowick Barton, I've managed to miss last night's meet but hope to warble my way there next month.
Cheers!

Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your Traveller. The club and the forum are really helpful and make such a difference.
Regards

Hello and welcome.
I think this is what you need, link below, you will want two of them, as it's a fiddly job and you might as well do them both at the same time for piece of mind.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Welcome my fellow Traveller, time to get the T-cut out and start enjoying. They come up a treat with abit of effort.
The only advice I can give is if your car starts stuttering and being all juddery, first thing to do is replace the condenser. !! They only cost a fiver and even I managed it. Thats the only worry I've had. The other bonus is that parts prices are about a 1/3 the price of what the Dub-boys have to pay ! Advice on the web is great too.

Thanks for the warm welcome & tips.
As they all look ready to to pop, I have a full set of radiator & heater hoses on the way....hopefully in time for a Sunday cussin'n'knuckleskinnin' session! :o
