Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25

One thing to be aware of with the diesel tacho is that they can be quite sensitive to damp, well mine is. I have one installed in my van and during the winter in can sometimes take while for it to work.

Re: Occasional Knock

Could be a dry cv joint. I had a similar sound a few years back which started as an intermittent knock which gradually got worse.

Re: Sliding door trim

Mines is made from black angled plastic. Never broken etc in the 9yrs I've had the van. It has two angled joints which are fused/melted together. Did you buy it or make it? I didn't make it. It was on the van when I bought it. It is homemade though and isn't hard to do I'll post a couple of pics up...

Re: New stretch lining over old?

Also the 4way stretch carpet will show all the lumps and bumps of what's its laid onto.
Did mine recently and the old stuff came off easily as did the old glue with a scraper.
Not too hard a job to put the new carpet on, just take your time and use a good quality glue.
