Re: Thermo mats

do they make much difference when you've got the double glazing anyway? I've got an external Silver Screen for the front, but never felt the need to insulate the rear as well.....

Good garages for servicing 1.6td near Bristol?

I just want to use someone who really knows the JX engine.

but there was no joker by 1990 - it was Atlantic and California by then. i prefer the earlier roof - i like shoving stuff up there.

Re: Will these alloys fit straight on my van ???

I've got a set of these with 205/65 R16's fitted. I've had the holes drilled out to 14mm as well. Are you really saying that they don't need the longer studs? And do they just need a 6mm spacer on the front? If you use a spacer on the back to fill the arches better, what size spacer is best, so that...

Hook up and main battery

If I plug my '90 Westfalia Joker into the 240v through the hookup, will this charge the main vehicle battery???

Re: Anyone recommend a bike rack?

You can get a Fiamma rack new, or a second hand Paulchen. Both work really well. I've got a 4 bike Paulchen and I love it.

Re: Ebay Mercedes Wheels

you'll need to drill out the 5 holes to 14mm. and fit longer studs, and most likely spacers too.
