Hammerite was never very good, and nowadays (since it was reformulated) it is an absolutely terrible product. Coverage, finish and longevity are all very poor. You definitely want to be spraying something on to get a passably OE finish. There are a lot of different types of Rustoleum paints for vari...

You could fit bigger but the DG won't have the balls to push anything much taller along, especially with the weight in a camper.

As I understand it, electric fridges will run your leisure battery down to around half in a weekend. I assume for a longer trip you should have EHU or solar panels? Depends on your battery, fridge and the ambient conditions of course, but assuming you have a smallish lead acid leisure battery and i...

AAP is a 5 speed; you can use it with the 4 speed linkage but it will be like driving a Syncro, you'll have to go under the gate to get 1st gear and do the side to side thing when going from 1st to 2nd, its not an issue on a Syncro cos we only really use G when off road and don't often change up to...

AAG has the power to push a taller gearbox along, so an AAP or something similar (from a 2.1) is fine. Unless your van is especially heavy, the taller the better.

I've never personally fitted those wheels, but the specs are all perfect. Use the original bolts etc.

No, it should be easy to blow down.
Are you sure you don't have the pipes mixed up? if you blow down the feed pipe, the fuel pump will stop any reverse flow

Loads of watercooled LHD vans with electric PAS, the motor shouldn't foul if it's a commercially sold kit.
If it does foul then it's probably a DIY install which would worry me.

Surely you mean 215/65?

If so, start with the same tyre pressures as the 205 carat tyres (2.1 bar front, 2.8 bar rear) and adjust upwards to suit the load of your westy

Here's the swedish lighting wiring diagram:

The first ones are ancient and look like they need strange flat wheel bolts. I'd avoid those. 2nd ones look a little more promising but it's not clear what type of wheel bolts you'd need. If you just want 15" steels, try the ones Brickwerks sell. They are tested, they fit and the sellers know a...

have you tried asking the focus RS owners club?

Both belts should have part numbers on which will help ID. I'd presume all 1Y cambelts are the same?

As far as auxiliary stuff, you could have ended up with any combination of stuff so realistically reading the "6pk775" type number off the belt is gonna be the only way to be sure.

The picture isn't showing up for me, But I will say that if van has a seat belt fitted in the back, this absolutely doesn't mean that it is a safe, usable seatbelt by any standard. I've seen so many terrifyingly bad seatbelt installations. Some years ago when I worked at Halfords I was asked to fit ...

There were double passenger seats fitted to some T25s from the factory, but I think they might rely on a bulkhead for support? There's also a company making an absolutely horrific looking full width triple bench seat with a back that flips forward to "reverse" it, if you're happy with the ...
