Re: recarpet1988 AUtosleeper Hightop

There is alot of labour involved. I did mine myself, not something I would rush into doing again!
Might save a bit on the price if you removed the old carpet, glue and floor yourself. A dirty job but easy enough.

Re: Rocker cover Gasket , Rubber or cork

I've got the rubber one on mine (aaz) and it leaks in the bottom right corner! I have just received another one and going to try again. However I am not sure whether to use sealant or not. I did use sealant last time but wasn't sure if I'd used enough or if I'd I applied it correctly. Might even be ...

Re: Coolant from Spark plug?

Is it coolant deposits? If so could be the head gasket. Hopefully not.

Re: Fellows 2 Burner and grill.

I don't think you can get Fellows spares anymore unless they crop up on Ebay etc. Fellows cookers seemed to be swapped out for Spinflo 2 cookers but I don't think they are available in this country anymore but can get them in USA and New Zealand. There are a couple of threads on here about it. Howev...

Re: Possible air lock in fuel line/ pump T25 1998 (diesel)

Double check the fuel filter. I have found it to be be a real pain to get the pipework airtight. Especially the ones with the thermo valve. Even had a new tank fitted because of air bubbles after thinking it couldn't be the filter!

Re: Suspension bushes

Personally if it's not been flagged as an issue I would be inclined to leave alone. However I do regularly spray these areas with a bit of ptfe oil as part of routine maintenance. Don't know if it helps but hopefully it's worth it.
