I have a rucksack cover from Amazon that does the job. I purchased a larger size so it fits on easily.

Hi Bruce and John, thanks 😊 The new hose and regulator and valve assembly has arrived and I have fitted it. That was an easy 5 minute fix 😀 The controller is now so easy to turn. The old one is looking quite rough but I am only 3 miles from the sea so prone to corrosion here. Let’s see how I...

Woohoo! I have managed to order the spare part 😀 thanks Bruce. It was £50 which I am happy to pay considering the Q was free from the recycling yard. Here’s to many more years of use!

Thanks Bruce so much. I need the 65759 part. I have come down with covid so not doing much at the moment but will try the email contact agsin. I will let you know how I get on :)

Thanks Bruce. I need part number 17 I think it was and the manual has the email address so I will try that too. I have it attached to a 13 kilo propane tank. It was on butane but we can’t use butane here anymore so a change of the regulator and a service by the gas man and good to go :)

The model is 396074 and serial number I think is DR0384979. I believe the part number I need is 80476. I have been in contact with Weber, asked for that part and how to order and was sent a link to pay for the regulator that fits on the bottle. It’s all done through a email chat facility and...

I am going to contact them as looking at the replacement regulators mine is different. I am not in the USA and last time I contacted them in the UK they didn’t seem to be too helpful. I want to do some research first and hopefully find the part number :)

I have a Q200 I think it’s 10 years plus old and the gas thermostat controller is stiff to turn at a lower temperature setting. It feels like I could break the controller off the gas pipe. Does it need some oil or silicone to get it moving freely? Many thanks

Thank you. I must check how the stand is doing as the legs had started to rust so I fitted some wooden broom handle to make the legs the right length again :)

I use the boiled linseed oil too. Cheap and easy and I already had it for the slate hearth :)

I am in the UK. well Guernsey and I used the VHT calliper paint with a primer. Here is the one I did for my work colleague Post in thread 'Q lid repaint' https://tvwbb.com/threads/q-lid-repaint.76471/post-857002

I did them both at the same time, mine first which has issues. I took mine back to bare metal and the majority of the other. They were both washed in soapy water, rinsed, left to dry and then I wiped them over with acetone. I then primed, sprayed and glossed mine and then did the other one...

My colleague has been using the Q I painted with the same engine enamel and his is fine. There must have been issues with the prep of my lid as mine has pitting. Here is my colleagues lid [/url]EBCC6435-5190-435A-9F76-2564DB79C038 by Liz Quentin, on Flickr[/IMG]

I will check with my colleague that received the other one I upcycled to see how his paint is doing , he collected it in the week and had it fired up on Friday.

I used this paint as the higher temperature paints in the UK I didn’t really like, nothing very fancy!! https://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-engine-enamel It has been fine the only issue I seem to have is that I may have still had some liquid on the lid before I started painting as it has...

I am not sure if the tyres will hold the paint as it’s high temp. I might give it a go tomorrow:)

This is the Q200 that I have upcycled for a work colleague. I wiped boiled linseed oil to the plastic black trim on the cart and Q frame to bring the colour and shine back. 2DDD6F84-FF6D-48BE-9D63-EE5B438EC5D9 by Liz Quentin, on Flickr

Thank you. I am really pleased with how it has turned out. But I have now decided that the base needs a coat of black paint to smarten it up!!

I used a wire cup brush on my handheld drill but the old coating was flaking in places so it was quite easy. I then went through the sandpaper’s to make sure it had no scratch marks.
