Re: Choice of 3 alloys - Help Please

By process of elimination and a lot of help from here, the Ronal Penta's have been eliminated as well. The seller came back and informed me that the load rating is 615kg which with a hi-top and all the kit that get's carried is n't going to work. At least the Borbet copies are 861kg.

Re: Choice of 3 alloys - Help Please

Thanks for your help, agree the price are a lot with no tyres but I know I will get a good price for the set of 5 carats i have so will see if I can find somebody to do an exchange with, real Borbets are on for over £600.

Re: headlamp relay mod

Hello, just some thought to add to this, fleabay has these kits now with the relays and wiring included, is it worth using these now?

Rusty Window for Emma

Hello, since all the heavy rain I have been getting water coming down the nearside panel and onto the floor of my van. I had already booked the van into VooDoo VW for the repair work and now understand where the water was coming in from. I was lucky that the window had n't fallen out, looking at the...

Re: iridium spark plugs ngk

I've had a set fitted to mine and a K&N air filter, last time it went in for a service (last month). My only impression is that the engine seems smoother and seems to idle better, I'm in no way an expert in the joys of engine mechanics. I've got an 89 2.1, and it does seem better.

Re: Fitting stereo

The other alternative is to remove the ash tray and see if you can get the wires and the heater control wires around the back or on top/bottom of the stereo. If you have a dash tidy remove and go in via the ash tray hole. I had the same problem and just carefully moved all the wires underneath the s...

Hello all, I've been gradually building up to do the respray of my van and have a question concerning body kits. I have the Reimo bumpers and planks fitted to my van, is it easier to remove them all and roller them individually or leave on the van and roller. I'm worried that the bumpers have alread...
