No worries, apology not necessary this thread goes back to 2005 with 3500+ posts, so some subjects will get repeated as new members join. And short of trawling through EVERY post ( which I have done - should get out more really ) to learn about the TE it is often quicker to ask the question again. As you have probably gathered there are quite a few people with vast knowledge of the TE on here, SteveJ, Mr Dutch, drbob and awt to name just a few. Personally their advice has been invaluable to me, together with my own experiences it all adds up to a wealth of experience and knowledge, add the excellent jktowers web site to the mix and the Talbot Express could run forever. LOL Regards
Many Thanks,
If you can get to lewisham my garage is superb. They do all the maintenance on my fleet of minibuses and have done all the work on my 1990 TE highwayman They're called hawstead garage in SE6 and their number is 02086906363 If you mention Dave from lewisham community transport they'll treat you well!

Please if anyone wants to buy a Talbot Highwayman with full MoT do let me know. Ebay link below. All the best, Bertie
Who did the motorhome conversion? Things like roof vents tend to be made by third party manufactureres and bought in by the motorhome convertors. Try the following links for motorhome/caravan spares. https://sslrelay.com/s113419701.oneandoneshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=15494a8696661b4/shopdata/index.shopscript?main_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsslrelay.com%2Folearymotorhomeshop.co.uk%2Fsess%2Futn%3Bjsessionid%3D15494a86957a8bb%2Fshopdata%2Fproduct_overview.shopscript http://www.caravanspares2repairs.co.uk/rooflights--vents-33-c.asp Regards George
Rooflights tend to come in standard sizes. Measure it up and there is an excellent chance you'll get a replacement at any half-decent caravan/camping spares shop for around £40-£50 - maybe less! Regards D ___________________ Think outside the box - save yourself some money!!!
Hope you are well. I let a friend borrow for the 3rd time my camper to go to the V festival,every time it has come back with a couple of things broken which I could fix,however this time he had driven off with one skylite open and probably left it somewhere on the M5. I got a complete (£15) unit 280mm from http://www.caravanbreakers.net tel 01495 792700 they are in Bleanavon Gwent and it is a huge warehouse with everything you could ever need.

i still have exsust with one stud broken i have took it to a number of garages and they wont touch it so i was wonderin could i use a blank washer with some sort of sealer to cover the hole would this work i dont have any problems with the drive of things and it travels well its just that it is blowing so if this or something els can be done just to take me to november that would be great many thanks to all
Incidentally does anyone know if Mr. Joker is the same chap who tought social skills at my old school in Yorkshire? He has the same manner which made one long to be in his company. Regards, Alan
when i put my hand up to the manifold i can feel were the stud is missing so would i put the gum gum in there or around the manifold to were the manifold meets the head many thanks
.
In my humble opinion trying to gum up the missing exhaust manifold stud hole space is destined to not last more than a few miles before it starts blowing again. I know because I have already tried it. As I learned on this forum. Leaking manifold problems are are often the result of perished rubber engine mounts, resulting in too much movement of the transverse engine unit. This "tugging" at the exhaust system results in failure of the exhaust manifold studs follwed by the gaskets (there are four). I think you will need to remove the exhaust manifold completely. Corroded studs may need to be extracted and replaced. The job could require up to 8 hours of labour in the very worst scenario. In some cases the manifolds have been known to warp under heat following severe "tugging" conditions. The manifold faces would need to be machine skimmed to align the manifold apertures for a good gasket sealing. New manifolds are very hard to find.
I concur with your comments re the exhaust Ted, but the gearbox rear engine mount is available for considerably less than the price you state. Avidale Ltd of Clacton do them for around £30 incl p&p, ask for Sonny. Also refer to the 'jktowers' website where they have much info on the engine mounts, types and availabilty. Regards
