Re: Outlaw drive away awning...any good?

We have the Outlaw awning. We have found it very good, we currently use one side with the inner tent and the other for storage. This still leaves plenty of room for table chairs in the middle. It goes up really easy and comes with all the attachents to connect to the van.Also stands up to strong win...

Re: What engine oil?

Hi We have a 82 2.0l T25. We were told to use 15W40 or 20w50. The 15w40 is £18.99 for 5l in Halfords at the minute and you get a 8 piece screwdriver set for free! (not sure about the topping up side as I know what was already in ours but someone on here will know) Hope this helps and have a good jou...

Re: Leisure Battery

Thanks very much for the offer might just take you up on that and even if you wouldn't mind calling round/meeting up to have look at the van would be great. No problem. We are away this weekend at the brilliant Malpas Steam and Vintage rally :) But after that, feel free to call on the number quoted...

Start or no start!!

Wondering if anyone out there can help................? Purchased our T25 2L Aircooled 1982 and picked up on Wednesday. It was a 50 mile trip home which was going fine until we turned into our road and she decided to cut out and not start again. I thought she may have run out of fuel so put 5 litres...

Leisure Battery

Finally I've managed to get myself a T25 after lots of searching. It's a 1982 2l Aircooled in white. It has main hook up but no leisure battery. Could someone let me know (i'm not very technical!!) whether it's straight forward to get one fitted. There's space under the passenger seat where i've bee...
