Cheers guys yes I’ve contacted a couple of VW specialists in the area just waiting for them to get back to me. I’ll try and have a better look at the header tank tomorrow too. It’s just that it’s not even on my drive and I’ll need to get it towed wherever it goes! The recovery guy was great but as i...

Plus fitted VW Speedshop stainless exhaust

Hi Melvin,

You could park up by the Clifton Suspension Bridge as there are some lovely views from there. If you go to Bath, then it's nice to park around by the Royal Crescent and take in the fine views - I've often done this when having a takeaway! Have fun whatever you do!

Had a great one night stop over in Bagwell Farm - very impressed with the site and there was another T25 there too! Highly recommended

Cheers Louey - I did think of that...I think the leisure battery could cope for one night. I was thinking of just parking up near the coast but I may now go to the Bagwell Farm site in Weymouth as they have room
