And we a have a 1989 Westy Califonia hi top too!!!!!!

Bugger!

We are off to France in August and from our understading you are only allowed a certain % of gas in the tank to travel on Eurotunnel?????

Bugger again!

Thanks.

Hi all, OH has me posting again for him as he his at work so bear with me! Right, the man of the house is getting the camper ready.........and has a question about the gauge for the under carrige lpg gas tank. The gauge is reading ZERO but gas is still coming out of the hob, enough to ingite it. The...

Woohoo......Eurotunnel actually worked out best for us for dates/price so we are off on 0842 on 1 August, returning on 0820 on 16 August.

OH is now getting nervous about 'getting to know our van' before we set off!!! Few weekends needed in him before we go methinks.

Becks.

Hi Martin,
Well fingers crossed all seems good so far. The words 'owing a van is goig to be like splitting open a vein and bleeding money' has come forth from my cynical lips several times but i am hoping that this won't be imminent!!!!

Hi, just read your post to my OH who agrees that there are many similarities in the mutual hunt to find the elusive 'just right' van!!!! Mind you he has just uttered the words that will ensure everything now goes wrong with the van..he just said 'I think we got ourselves a bargain'........cue a comp...

Hi, My OH and I have just purchased a T25 after looking for several months properly...but researching for the last year or so before we bit the bullet and went for it. We too were concerend with rust and seam rust in particular. Unfortunately what one person says is a 'little rust' may be different ...

Thank you very much shall go and have a look on the just kampers site.

Hi all, We have been looking at getting a trusty Haynes manual but the transporter manual 82-90 is for petrol models. e.g. http://www.vwt25camper.co.uk/vw-t25-camper/vw-t25-essential-manual" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Now am I bieng daft but I can't seem to find a manual...

Hi all...again!

Just wondering how you find the automatic T25s to drive? Are there any particular issues with automatics? We have seen a 1.9 automatic for sale that looks quite promising but thought we would come and gain some advice from you wonderful lot first!

Cheers.

Hi all, As OH and I are embarking on buying our first camper together I think it would be good for me to know some basci mechanics so I can show our new van some love! Ok ok...to be able to successfully tinker and look after it I should say. OH knows a littel bit about motors but i am a complete nov...

Thanks for that! Feel a bit daft now........can i use the 'female' card on this one! LOL. Yes i am the female half of Jones47........mind you he asked me to post this question whilst he is at work! :rofl looks like some crash courses in motor mechanics may be needed!!!! However, so lovely to have ni...

Hi all, I have had a look in the Wiki...I may be going daft so I apologise if this info is somwhere that I can't see! We are newbies to this forum and are looking to buy a van .....we wondered re: timing belt changes at what mileage a 1.9 watercooled and a 2.1 fuel injection should be changed? Many ...

Hi all, Well slowly getting nearer to going out to see some vans but again are seeking some advice. We have seen for sale several vans but wondered what you guys think regarding engines....which is better driving wise and most economical out of the 1.9 petrol watercooled engine or the 2.1 fule injec...

Thanks all for your replies. We are one step nearer to going to see a couple. Just such a big decision but need to get in there and to stop arseing about or will be summer 2010 at this rate!!!!!
