I'm sure someone out there will be able to help! I have an F reg Talbot express Autosleeper with the double doors at the back and would like to get a bike rack for it. I have done a bt of research and have been told that the D200 rack should fit but when you check in the catalogue it no longer says anything about fitting the Talbot Express so I wonder if the fittings have changed slightly. I'm not bothered about buying a new one (2nd hand would be prefered)so if anyone can tell me what I need and a possible source for buying one (ebay being one I would try) then I would be very grateful! Thank you
we use a halfords rack its for 3 cycles we have a highwayman on a talbot base vehicle not the same as yours but thay have straps to make it fit and only takes 10 mins max to fit then we just put a lock around it all if parked up in a public area the only down point is that we cant use the rear doors whilst its attached . but its only to and from where we are going then it packs flat and stores away under the camper.ps you can add extra straps to make it suite different situations. hope this helps
i didnt reply before as i see you are decieded in your view ,as to welders bieng killed with compressed air and tyres i believe it proves the point i was making . remove the risk as much as possilble risk assment / method statement / safe working practice common sense remove the risk /reduce the risk to yourself and others morally and legaly its down to the person incharge and thats the driver to ensure things are safe you know insurance companies like a get out and not adering to the manufacturers instructions is a good point to start i dont think they say turn off the gas because they want people to freeze!. i did say rupture of the cylinder or the valve being damaged we all know its the 1000's of times its ok but just a few small minor points add up then there you are. or on the other hand who cares i won't do it you make the choice for your self, see if you can get the vid from boc of a 19 kg lpg gas cylinder in a van going up !! or if you have a strong stomache they have the pictures where a van / contractors curtain sider has some lpg cylinders that catch fire and vent !! yes lpg cylinders have a safety vave disc in them these lifted and added to the fire in the end cylinders ended up falling from the sky into a school play ground over a mile away i sew the pictures at a safety course and we had to look away all normal guys . enjoy your camper mick

i am not denigrating anything you say, but even carrying LPG in cylinders is potentially dangerous,only the strength of the cylinder and the regulator connection, Petrol carried in vehicles Plastic fuel tanks (I thought the change from metal to plastic would have been resisted by Insurance companies but no.) is dangerous. Travelling on the Inside lane of a motorway, at 55mph boxed in front and back by 44 tonne foreign trucks only inches away from your rear to my mind is infinately MORE dangerous. We live in a dangerous world. my wife thinks i am a 'grumpy old man' but i am beginning to rebel against 'petty' restrictions to our liberty while far more 'blatant' dangerous (but bloody obvious) practises are allowed to continue. sorry, rant over.

http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk It was about a family who were booked into caravan site for four days holiday but when they arrived at the site in what was a new and expensive Hobby motorhome were turned away, the reason given was Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free

Re: the refusal parking for the Hobby. The caravan park had accepted the booking. Unless they notified their restrictions prior to accepting the booking they are in breach of contract under the sale of goods and services acts. The family are entitled to compensation.
I completely agree with you, I hope the family in question will not let the campsite get away with this. As I said this information was only from a newspaper article which took me quite by surprise when I saw the photo of the motorhome & the fact that it was new & had cost over £58,000, but when the article mentioned that the campsite owners told the newspaper when they called that they don't allow Quest or Talbot Express motorhomes either, I thought it worth mentioning on this forum in case other Talbot Express owners might be interested to know that some sites may have strange rulings. We've recently bought our first motorhome, a 1992 Talbot Express based which we're really happy with ( but ancient in comparison to the rather 'posh' & brand new Hobby that was turned away), so far we haven't stayed on any sites & hope the policy of that Arbroath site isn't a common one .

Firstly do you know where around the door the draft is coming from? If you can feel where the draft is coming from this is the commonly used method used in car body shops, frist pull the rubber seal with both hands of the ledge it sits on only pull of enough for you to work on , get a piece of wood to use as a drift and with a hammer tap the drift on the ledge outwords long the length of the gap where you think the draft is coming from only tap the ledge out about 1mm , push the rubber seal back on to the ledge and tap it home with the hammer , doing this pushs the rubber seal closer to the door when it,s shut and curing the draft you might have to try this 2 or 3 times but it will cure the problem at no cost i would be intrested no how you get on. regards briroe
If there is no rubber seal around the door frames you will have to buy them a earlier posting by wynsurfer said there is some on e bay failing that go on e bay and type in the search bar talbot express and only talbot express or you will get the wrong page when you get there their are. 10 pages of talbot express spares you might find some on there lets me know the out come , hope this helps briroe
