Re: too much water

Quick follow up, water levels seemed fine when I arrived in France so tootled off the ferry and 20 miles in and a run in with a speed bump put a stop to my gallop. Rusty jubilee clip snapped and all the water poured out. So a trip back the way I came on the back of a recovery truck to a VW garage in...

Re: MOT FAILURE on main beam tell tale light not working ,help

I had the same problem last week. Turns out it was a dead diode and some of the wiring was hacked. So I had a small blue light installed on the dash and connected to the headlamp so when they power on the light comes on on the dash I also put a sticker under it saying H/lamp. Brought it back for ret...

Re: Main beam warning light dead

My 1987 1.9 petrol T25 (was anAutohomes Komet until I updated the interior) has failed it DOE (Irish MOT) on a few bulbs and a dodgy tow hitch, all of which are now sorted. However, the blue high beam warning light on the dash is not working (yup failed it on...

Re: Trailer width?

Where are you based, I got a T4 on a transporter from Galway to Kildare for 200 Euro. Also bought a T25 and a friend drove it from Dublin using his garage plates. It's not a problem driving with no tax or DEO if you just bought but you will have to produce them at the cop shop within 28 days. The ma...

I had replaced a fuse (yep I forgot) for what I thought was for the blowers as the downloaded Haynes manual suggested, position 13 (unlucky). The manual said it was a 20 amp. That 20 amp fuse is now cremated and replaced with a 30 amp. Ho...
