play in accelerator pedal
My accelerator pedal has a bit of play in it and was told this was losing me power when i put my foot down.Can you pull the slack through on the accelerator cable to reduce this? had a look and it seems fairly straightforward, but don't want to make a town halls of it! Any suggestions please

japanese vw hubcaps
I,ve got a set of vw hubcaps from the local tip for my T25, when I looked at them over the weekend I've realised they are made in japan and the vw logo isn't correct.Anyone come across these before? The quality is the same as german ones, is it something to do with copyright??

Silver rustoleum anyone?
Nellie has passed her MOT and is now in need of a revamp. Going down the rustoleum route and looking forward to the challenge! Has anyone out there tried doing the job in silver, can you get rustoleum in silver?
