Re: Help with removal of nearside brake hub

So, it looks like the op is talking about the front wheel, not the rear? Have you got the wheel itself off?

Re: Help with removal of nearside brake hub

Fixed with photos. Not pretty! Hey all, I need some advice and it is regarding my beloved T25 Danbury. She sustained some rather bad pot hole damage recently, yes not happy! So, it destroyed my nearside wheel bearings (they were on there way out), also the rim was damaged, nice tyre (truck tyre) blo...

Re: SA Grill inner headlamp options?

I remember a post on here, can’t find it now, with a member using an adhesive silvered tape judiciously cut to replace the silvering on the inside of the reflector. Maybe exhaust repair tape?

Re: VW T25 hightop Window search

Try a glazing workshop. I sourced a custom shaped toughened 6mm thick hearth (yes, a hearth, not a window) from our local glaziers when I lived in Caithness, that was in 2010 or thereabouts. Seals I'd source from Sealsdirect, may as well get fresh rubber on it at the same time. Make a template sligh...

Re: Rear jacking points shot?

A word of caution, I think you had found evidence of a prior repair to the trailing arm mount? Depending on how sure you are that the mount is in its original position (and you’re happy with the rear wheel alignment) you may want to consider a supplementary method to ensure everything is in the righ...

Re: Rear jacking points shot?

This has been niggling at me, I had in the back of my mind that the mounts for the trailing arm do not align, and so the rod method is potentially pants. I dig out my new trailing arm and voilà https://i.imgur.com/wOvsews.jpg And if that’s not clear enough, here’s a long threaded rod https://i.imgur...

Re: Strange knocking sound

The reason I asked whether single or repeating was I had a single knock on accelerating round a corner - outer rear trailing arm mount was letting go of the chassis. Only visible clearly from under the van. Doesn’t sound like your issue tho.

Wheel bearings?

Re: Rustoration

Thanks Max. Surgery no longer on the cards after further MRI scans showed areas throughout the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, the upside of which is a less aggressive chemo regime with one week off a month, and immunotherapy. Having beaten the odds on the flavour of cancer (triple negative is only 1...

Re: Strange knocking sound

Re: Fuse Board Buzzing

I have cleaner the terminals and checked the tightness of the securing points of the alternator terminals, found hand tight. Will test on a long drive home tomorrow. What’s the relay next to the battery for? Thanks for everyone’s help https://i.imgur.com/L6cAHYf.jpg h https://i.imgur.com/g8bdy0C.jpg
