MMM May 2010 Article

[DuncanH]

I'm trying to sort out a MOT issue regarding Spring Assisters / Bumper Stops on my La Strada Pronto Transit based camper. Found discussions on here and other forums that have been very useful and would like to track down a letter/article with photos in MMM that has been referred to:-

"MMM May 2010 (Interchange Pages 220 & 222) headed "Rattle & Roll, but No Rock and Roll" that suggests that all Continental European-built panel-van conversions using the 3500kg FWD Transit base also have these spring assisters as OE."

 

Does anyone have this issue I could buy or could copy the article and send it to me. I've looked at back issues sales but they don't go back that far.

Thanks

The MMM “Interchange” letter you mention was discussed (at some length) in this 2010 forum thread

There’s also a long 2012 MHFact forum thread (much of it clueless!) about the ‘bump stop’ issue here

Thanks for the links Derek.

 

It was one of those that started me looking for the article. As you say you have to sort the knowledgeable posts from the ones that might be inaccurate.

 

Thanks for your help and Robinhood's, very useful.
