Autosleeper Executive 2000 Forums

Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear bumper from a Autosleeper executive 2000 for repair. I've undone two nuts and bolts from the end either side, but are there any hidden ones further up and across the back. Sad

Thanking you.

Hi Dbnosey,

When I had an Executive I found that when ever I had a problem it was often resolved by a quick 'phone call to Autosleepers themselves. Very friendly and helpful.

Good Luck - Aaronsdad

Hi dbnosey

I have never had to remove mine but this afternoon I had a quick look and I can see the nuts and bolts that you have undone but I am stumped to know what other fixings there are.... I think the top edge of the Bumper moulding may be mounted with a sealant onto a ledge on the main body so basically after removing the bolts it is just stuck in place ....but that is only a guess Rolling Eyes

So I agree with Aaronsdad .. give Autosleepers a ring ... only I think if it were me I would ring the service center first on 01386 853511 , they are very helpful there and whoever you get on the end of the phone will most likely know the answer.

Phoned Autosleeper service, bumper is bolted either side and bonded to body, if you can get it removed without breakage you will be very lucky.
New one £345 plus vat plus postage. If service centre do it £500 plus done in the day.

Hi dbnosey

I was worried that that was how it was done. So what next.. I have one more suggestion... as long as you promise to join up and pay a sub Laughing

The GRP work for Autosleepers is done by this firm, they make the monocoque and all the GRP parts:

Cheltenham Laminating Co.Ltd
Unit 7 The Bramery,44 Alstone Lane
Cheltenham, GL51 8HE

Graham is the guy to ask for..... ( don't tell him I sent you Laughing

)

They are usually very helpfull and they do damage repair for Autosleepers and private individuals ( if they are in the "know").

They can replace, or more important for you, repair almost any part of the Executive body no matter how old. So it will be worth a phone call to them and see what they can do before you decide.
