Andy, I think you need to stump up £1.75 and buy this

The Commer File
Excellent fact file on the Commer Motor Caravan, written by Steve Loveys. It contains some useful Specification details, together with a full list of all the different converters using the Commer PA and PB as the base vehicle          
£1.75

Steve, I already have the Olyslager book. It's hilarious! Mr O claims it's applicable for novice home mechanics and how they can save money. But immediately he goes on about dwell angles, static timing of the engine, adjusting crankshaft end-float and lots of other non standard info. However, it doesn't tell you, for example, what grade of oil to put in the rear shocks and misses loads of other more mundane info like tyre pressures etc. Olyslager is a hopeless South African fool!  >:( :(
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

In support of Mr Zarse, its only fair to point out that at no time in this 67 page posting thread did anyone say the Commer WAS going to be retired.......... it all started with the word "If"....

As to whether any of those pics resembled my wicked old Mother Superior... i never dared peek under the whimple so anything might have been lurking under there.........mind you.......i did try to trap her veil in the door as she billowed by...........just to try n pull it off!!! ha ha ha.... 8)

Only four more. I can picture you all out there, fingers poised over the post button to get the honour of being number 1000.

Bob, that's plain cheating.  >:( They are not proper posts (by proper I mean totally meaningless), so I'm deducting four from the offical count. This means the tally is actually standing at 998.  :)

Fran is right. The very first word on this ridiculous thread is "If". Obviously you paid attention during Comprehension at school Fran.

.... and, following the 'Keeper of the Commer's' ruling, I'm removing the major prize  ::)
