Hi have just fitted a new engine and not sure what oil to go for . SAE 30 or 15w40 mineral. I have been looking at Tec specs and temp ranges for the both . The sae 30 seems as if it would be better in a warmer environment, being a bit thicker when hot but not so good for cold starting and the 15w40 ...

Thanks for that Paul, have ordered new guides. Kind I thought that if the manufacturer had not fitted them then it's for a reason. Appreciate your response.

Hi just doing a decoke and rings. I was wondering has anyone fitted valve stem rubbers to a 2 ltr Aircooled . I know they are not ment to have them but what do we think about fitting them? Would there be a benifit or would it interfere.....

Hi could anyone tell me what oil pressure switch should be in my 2.0 air cooled X reg. Trouble is I am not sure of the colour as it has been leaking, and it looks like brown black grey colour. So I need to know the pressure or colour. Thank you Paul....

I have got round head lights with an H4 bulb but with a round base on the bulb. Can you get a round headlight with the h4 bulb with the 3 prong base? My van is a 2ltr air cooled on a 1983 plate. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Paul.
