The Out-Of-Season Secret Of Solway Holiday Park | Autumn Campervan Adventure
We're back on the road! Summer's said goodbye, but we're setting out to sunny Silloth! Our rainy journey soon gets put behind us as we're treated to a beautiful promenade walk, where we wonder about wavebreakers and spy a spectacular stony seaside. Outstanding natural beauty indeed!
Then we explore the enormous Solway Holiday Park, as we avoid our usual quiet park-ups to take a walk on the wild side. But since it's September, we've got the place virtually to ourselves!
We also find time for Val to sit on a gorilla, and Dave tries his luck at a claw machine. We encounter the artwork of Ray Lonsdale and toot about town, but luckily Dave never has to break out the Spam!

      @davidsutcliffe4888 Месяц назад

      Thank's for watching! If you have completely backed off the adjusters in the drum and slackened the adjuster on the handbrake cable, then the drum has probably seized on the hub. There should be some threaded holes in the drum, I think they are 8mm. You can put some bolts in these holes, tighten them against the hub and draw the drum off the hub. Hope this helps, Dave.

    Great video Dave - thanks for posting - well explained and the work done safely. I have done this exact same maintenance on my 2020 Boxer 2 weeks ago. I don't think the 15Nm torque technique for the centre adjuster works very well - I found it better to adjust so the handbrake is tight at 5 to 6 clicks then check the wheels are free turning when handbrake is off. Even though the wheels were turning ok one side on mine was dragging a touch and getting hot following a test drive. Took one wheel bolt out and slackened the star wheel 2 teeth and it was then ok - handbrake still on tight at 6 clicks. I have seen several YT vids where the centre adjuster was tightened but the wheels were not checked as free to rotate with handbrake off afterwards - risk of binding and overheating. I flushed the brake fluid all 4 wheels also.

      Hi Jim. Thank you. These vans are not known for having a very efficient handbrake. I usually check and adjust before m.o.t. as that is a very common failure. Glad you got yours working ok. Yes it is important to check that the handbrake is not binding after adjustment. Thank's for watching. Dave.
