Sink pump has died

Hi all, The pump for my tap has decided not to work anymore. It is operated by a button below the sink on off button. I'm asking if anyone knows how many places there are to check/fix before I start taking the van apart. It's a 1980 Aircooled Devon. I'm not into electrics at all, so go easy on me......

1989 T25 - How do I: Twin Headlamp realignment???

Hi,

Just failed MOT on a few things including my headlamp alignment. They wanted me to buy new ones. Before I do, I wanted to find out if there is any easier (and free) way of aligning my current headlamps manually.

Any help would be great.

Thanks :D
