new member HINew member, just purchased a 1981 CF1 LWB 350 ? facelift motorhome.Think I'm going to need a lot of help and am going to have to develop a strong left thigh for clutch !! I am in Scotland, Auchendinny, Midlothian and hope there are some members local to me.This motorhome has had a replacement isuzu Turbo deisel engine fitted....god hope it is ok as I have not been on the open road with it yet !! Inside it is so roomy, have to work out what works and what doesn't, will be a challenge I think. I still have a 1993 toyota Hiace camper at the moment so am used a slow mover but will sell once the beddie has won me over. great site Margaret ---------------------- |

Hi Thanks for the welcome....and hope to start enjoying my van soon. Hope to be able to get to one of the meets. I am excited about my new van but at the same time a bit scared .....what if it breaks down all the time...hopefully it will be great fun so just have to wait and see. Many a 'good tune played on an old fiddle' seems like a great adage !! Margaret, Raffaele and the 2 dugs !! |

Hi Margaret, welcome to the club.I see that you come from my old stomping grounds, the Queen Vic used to be my old watering hole and many a beer token was spent there. I'm sure you will get all the help you will need on this site. regards David. A Scot lost in the Valley's. |

Hi David Nice to meet you.......have never been in the pub the 7years I have lived here !!! Been down your way earlier this year....Snowdonia in my toyota hiace camper. I hope my van will be okay......one thing though the brakes don't seem that great...seem a bit spongy.....or maybe its because I am a 'shorty' but brakes don't seem that good. Margaret |

Don't go spending any money until you can find someone who knows how CF brakes should feel & get them to drive it. CF350 is drum brakes all round and even with the brakes spot on it can take a lot of stopping above about 30mph when the van is fully laden. If the handbrake performance is poor (should be able to lock rear wheels at low speed if you can get enough of a pull on the lever) then the rear brakes may be the first place to look; they're 'duo-servo' type and provide a lot more braking than you'd expect. ---------------------- |

I've taken the liberty of editing your message as a 'quote' to show the JPG. Try 'quote' yourself on your original message and this one to see the difference (i.e. text between the 'img' and '/img' switches). For more, look at the howto that bluebedouin has done at http://www.bedford-cf.co.uk/mboard/thread.php?id=7653 margrae wrote: Here is some pics of my motorhome......I hope

Hi Neil Thanks for the welcome, it cost me £3400.....he wanted £3850 !!but I love the inside, its very spacious. I think the 'new paint job'is ok but hope it doesn't hide a multitude of sins !!It has a replacement isuzu engine 2.8TD I believe. I loved it as soon as I saw it....fell out big time with my partner who though it was far too mutch for such an old vehicle. Anyway I love it, but at the moment it is at my sisters house in Leeds, so still have to get it up to Bonnie Scotland. ---------------------- |
