It's been a few years since we refitted your tank Pete :lol: It'll be 8 years come April!!  Time flies when you're having fun! :rofl Thanks again Aidan.  More stuff to try and work out.  I'm carrying a 20 litre jerrycan just to be on the safe side.  The price of E5 down here also varies dramaticall...

https://i.imgur.com/qGMOCxk.jpg Just got back from a trip up to the frozen northern wastes (well, North Pennines actually) and after I went out to fill up, the gauge read as above (and there was no doubt the tank was full - I've got the bank statement to prove it). My question is - do people who un...

Can't remember jet sizes as its about 20 years since I had Dellorto 36s on a 2 litre air cooled.  They were good though and we drove to Portugal in that van. One thing you will need is the shallower air filter elements (about 50 mm I think).  The normal size ones will foul on the engine lid - in fac...

Thanks very much to everyone for your contributions. I'm going to try the 25A switch in parallel with the the thermo switch on the stage 1 circuit first. I'll have to give some more thought to the stage 2 circuit as ideally I'd like to be able to use that manually because it will bring down the rad ...

Thanks itchyfeet. I put the relay in as I thought the current draw would burn out the switch. But I suppose there's no relay for the first speed anyway. So it's OK just to wire a switch in either side of the thermo switch? And then its protected by the original 30 amp fuse? Pete yes, short red/whit...

Are you putting the 30A fuse in the 50A side? Might explain why the fuse is blowing. Check the 50A relay/strip fuse by the earth crowns. Ahh - so are you saying the 30 amp in line fuse should go between the relay and the fan? Rather than where I've put it - between the power source (cranking batter...

Afternoon All, We are off to the Lakes in a fortnight and planning a trip that will take in all the big passes over three weeks. So I thought it would be a good idea to protect my 025 Motorsport 2.5 WBX as much as possible and fit a chicken switch for the rad fan. The temp guage does have a tendency...

I've not been on the forum for a while - work, getting my trials Beetle back on the road, travelling in the Syncro etc etc. What I can add to this thread is that 025 Motorsport aka Ian Holman, aka silverbullet has built us the best waterboxer imaginable.

We will bring a load of antipasto - some of which will be gluten free. When will we have an idea of numbers?

Can also bring a two burner camping stove if its needed for keeping stuff hot.
