I have that style on a westy high top. They are good and strong. Just need regular cleaning as they block the gutter to a degree. Do you have any photos? Thanks  Is the Westy high top GRP? You could risk cracking it. We cut a small section of our Autosleeper pop top away to fit our ARB awning brack...

I have some F45 brackets if you do go
With them

The spring return is in the switch , so I would start with that

If the switch is factory there’s a small zip tie that make it difficult to get a socket on the switch, I would give the dash plug a wiggle

Those are f35 brackets , they don’t fit a F45 awning , you can either fit the brackets or mount the awning directly into the roof

They are perfectly safe and are designed to run all night all day if required

JX - then check valve lash while you are in there.

15w-40 mineral is the way. Tensioner is a must.

All easy jobs to do with Bentley at hand.

Remember the rule if it ain't broke - don't fix it.

Semi synthetic for turbo diesels

Thanks for the replies, it helps a lot. About changing the cam/timing belt. What parts exactly are wise to change in that operation? Belt, tensioner and water pump? I think I have seen kits with these parts included. Timing belt and tensioner, unlike more modern vehicles the cam belt doesn’t run th...

Cam belt first if it’s genuinely not been changed for 20 years , then all the normal car stuff brakes tyres suspension etc, check wiring , fuel lines don’t suffer on diesels like petrol but worth a check , most of the original fuel line is poly so no issues there

They are bent at a fairly big angle, any pictures?

Yeah they should

The switch on the new one is most likely faulty

Local independents near me charge £108 an hour , it’s easy to rack up £500 , chances of an Allen headed bolt be rounded , pretty high , chances of a snapped bolt pretty high, draining and topping up coolant , cleaning gasket faces etc , it’s easily a couple of hours if all goes well, it’s not a terr...

Yikes. Sometimes as you say, have to just suck it up. Clutch master shouldn't cost that though, unless it's a gold one ! https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/clutch-master-cylinder-t3-oem/?srsltid=AfmBOooVOJrKj0kX9YFwQQnrLYkGLm1F7kRDt5WfgT-dzJlsfV8PB3YT That's the best one that's available If it’s a fi...

The studs are pretty accessible ,pull the head and barrel , you can remove the gudgeon pin and pull the piston , it’s not a terrible job on an air cooled
