Engine running cold

Hi all, Just returned from a jolly jaunt in the bank holiday sun - only worry is that the temperature guage showed the engine running very cold - the needle was showing about 'ten to two' rather than its usual 'midday' even though the engine felt pretty hot at the end of the journey. The engine also...

Re: Best seal for leaking roof hatch in high top?

Thanks all for your suggestions and ideas. The leak wasn't too bad so a quick black of sika flex has done the trick.

Cheers

Re: Best seal for leaking roof hatch in high top?

I fixed my roof hatch with good old silicon sealant which seemed to do the trick just fine. Not sure if it would do the trick for bigger cracks. You may want to look at some boat building sites as these fibre glass hi tops seem to be of similar construction?

Cheers

Re: Fitting a radio aerial

Hi all,

I followed 72 bug's advice and went in through the glovebox, then unscrewed the fuseboox and managed to fit it that way. No need to go the exterior route via grille etc

Result!

Thanks for all your ideas and help

Best seal for leaking roof hatch in high top?

Hi all, I have a fibreglass high top with a square push-up roof hatch. It's now leaking inside the van and it seems like the exterior rubberised seal needs replacing. Does anyone have any ideas of the best material to use for this job? Some sort of flexible transparent sealant seems the best move? A...

Re: Fitting a radio aerial

Hi, Thanks for the rapid replies. Unfortunately, there's no aerial currently there - just a hole covered in gaffer tape. I do have the mounting (angled bit with black rubber base and fitting screw) which housed the old aerial - is this fitted externally without rooting around underneath? Assuming I ...

Fitting a radio aerial

Hi all, New T25 owner, first time poster, sorry for the divvy-ish question. I want to fit a new radio aerial to my T25 but how do I access the hole on the passenger side to fit it? The only two ways in seem to be taking the headlight out or removing the dashboard. I have a working CD player fitted s...
