Re: Steering wheel cover
Hi, I'm trying to get a steering wheel cover for my T25 (the wheel is 45cm or 17.7inches). I tried searching the net for lorry sites and the like but have had little success. Any ideas (other than make one, get one done by an upholsterer, or use bike tape which are my possible plans if I fail to fi...

HIGH TOP TO POP TOP CONVERSION ?
Has anyone replaced a high top with a pop top?
Thinking about ripping off the high top on my Autohomes Kameo
and fitting a Westy style pop top,
Is it possible or is it a nightmare and should i not even go there.
Thanks

Just about to order the caravanstore but then I noticed the Fiamma F35 which is a similar weight to the caravan store but packs into a cassette like the F45. However it may not have rafters and may need tensioning ropes. Any comments? Deke. Ive got the F35 Pro fitted to my High top, Easy to put up,...

Once youve bled the system fully try using Wynns Rad seal, it really does work but cant guarantee how long for, depends on the size of your leak, Mines been ok now for 6 months after using 2 bottles of the stuff (theres a lot of coolant in a T25) to cure a very small drip down the right hand side of...

Re: Pointers
You could get away without bleeding the front brakes as the F to R pipe connects to the brake compensator? just under the floor, O/S/F. So as long as you didn't allow too much fluid drain air shouldn't get to the front line (use an old union with the pipe turned over pipe to stop leaking from compe...

Yes tried that apart from the 'heat' i thought it was a no no to use heat on callipers due to damage to the internal seals. Tried soaking regular over th...
