... In Wiltshire.

Fantastic weather. So good we took the front off the awning!

Hi all, Finally got sorted today. Well, MOT last Friday and failed on something silly (thread here - https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=108999" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) Off camping near Devizes, Wiltshire Friday - Sun to celebrate. If anyone's near...

Thanks for your useful comments. I guess the problem with my regular garage was down to the fact they didn't have the van there to see it so just assumed 'Commercial' and their ramps etc might not have been capable. I think though mainly it was down to the potential height issue. We remembered last ...

Ok, so after a lot of work we're ready to MOT the van for the first time. Went along to our local, friendly, large, fully equipped garage on the way home from work today to book it. When I tell them it's a T25 camper and that it's a hightop he says that chances are they won't be able to MOT it (I pr...

It's just outside Winsley (about 5-10 mins away from the Uni). Last time I stayed there it was £5

Nope.

Finished ours about half an hour ago, shame people can't see all the hard work!

Just been doing the same to the underside of our van whilst I was replacing balls joints and welding some bits etc. I always start off trying to be as neat as possible but then in the end just slap it on all over the place (obviously missing out the obvious parts mentioned already) Whilst running th...

Keep up he good work :-) As you know did mine recently and doing the other side took half the time as the first side as I'd tackled all the problems once already! Also worth checking the upper spring mounts/bump stops and give them a prod. Mine were pretty much falling off but all the damage was hid...

Good luck :-) Our MOT ran out last month... Really can't wait to get out and camp ASAP! Have the front end up in the air at the moment - need to sort out the front sill/jacking points before I can move onto the slightly easier bits (track rods etc) http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll212/dgro76/201...

Yep. Spent yesterday and this morning waxoiling the underside, Managed to get both trailing arms back on today and the van back on 4 wheels with nothing falling off. So far so good... Need to book an MOT as soon as I'm happy with it - Front end up in the air next to check for squeaks and broken rubb...

Thanks Jon. One thing I'd suggest about the trailing arm removal is if you decide to replace the bushes use proper ones from Brickwerks! I originally bought some cheaper ones off ebay and they didn't fit and were made out of the wrong kind of rubber meaning fitting them was a nightmare. I spent twic...

An update! Sorry it's not any sort of 'how to' but I'm just glad I've got to this point, and I'm sure this has already been covered. As mentioned above - the rot was worse than it initially looked, but it was quite isolated and I was able to save the sill and associated parts above it. All I can say...

:ok I was hoping the powerflex bushes would come in two parts to make the job easier... but clearly not... I've now just managed to fit one standard bush using said method (had to change from 10mm to 12mm threaded bar to give the extra umph). Would be ok but having to do it another 3 times is slight...

Righto.

VW may be my next port of call as the responses I've had from two of my local independent garages have been along the lines of "well we have a press... so we can give it a go". Nobody as yet has responded with a more confidece inducing answer!
