Re: AAZ installation general advice

Hi Stuart, Brickwerks have most of the parts and used to have instructions.

Anyone who knows about gas flow in exhausts would cry at the...

Re: Bike rack.

Hi,
I used a normal Fiamma bike rack for a T25. I replaced the 3 bike fold down bar with an extending 4 bike one from a different Fiamma rack (designed for a larger RV type vehicle). Cheers Vandad.

I'm talking to myself here. I couldn't buy any replacement cables. I bought some aluminium collets, a crimping tool and some heat shrink. I repaired the old cables by replacing the worn out part with some bicycle cable from the shed and covering the crimped connection with heat shrink to stop it cat...

Re: Condensation to sunroof

Jocko, my sunroof gives me a wet seat. I now put an electric fan heater on in the van to warm it up and dry out the inside while it is parked up (powered from the house).
