Does anyone know whether enamel paints (such as used on model kits) would be hard-wearing enough to use on badges on your van?

Mine has the TRANSPORTER in separate letters across the tailgate and thought when he is (finally, if ever) finished it would be nice to do each letter a different colour.

Can anyone explain this? My van is smoking and turbo and exhaust have been replaced so my mechanic suspects worn piston rings (I don't know). Looked on BW and they have a range for the 1.6 TD but say 1st oversized and 2nd oversized on different sets. How do I know which set I need? Thanks in advance...

Not too bad, used the same process to wire subs from front to back the other day including rca cable from head unit to rear and power cable from battery to roof.

Two man job though really

Drill the pillar by the door (whichever side) get a bent coathanger and pass it down from the top (may require another hole drilled depending on the layout). Put coathanger down until it can be attached to cable with duck tape then pull it through and run along side of roof. If your speakers are low...

Does anyone know whether these are any good? The guy who works on my van for me suspects that a seal is leaking on mine and pulling in oil which may be why Troopy smokes so much. I have rung a coupe of turbo companies and for replacing the bearings and seals it is around £220-250 but I have seen sea...

Is that not called the missus?

Sorry, forgot to add that I don't have any speakers in the front. Headunit is Sony XPlod (not sure of model) The 6x9's are 500w Sony XPlod . The flat subs are 2x 12" 1200w Auna driven by a 900w Fli amp and the new ones are 2x 1500w Edge subs with an integrated amplifier. I have this set up beca...

I have a number of speakers in my bus :lol: Currently I have 4 6x9" on the floor in the rear as I am waiting to fit the new interior. These will be bolted in a row to the roof section when it is done. There are 2 12" flat subs in the rear and another two 12" going in the roof section ...

I rely on living in a cul-de-sac and the thieves having to find reverse gear

Even if stolen I expect to find him at the end of the road because they couldn't turn him round.

Has anyone purchased one of these that could possibly give a review?

I had the same but I found there was a two tier thing to my gears, for reasons unknown. There seems to be a tier that will get 1 -5, but then there seems to be a second 'deep' area just below that is reserved for reverse.. Just feels a bit lower than that required for the rest of the gears. Not at a...

Hi Troopy I gave up with all the crap in my Audi double din etc etc. bought a mechless Kenwood for the van and use my phone for satnav as it's more upto date than the 4 month old tomtom I bought. just added a spare phone cover to the dash which I slip my phone into. Much easier and nothing left in ...

As above, has anyone fitted one of these and if so any advice?

I have a Sony unit that will link my phone, have sat nav, voice activation etc that I would like to fit but no idea where to start with fitting.

Any advice much appreciated

Hi all, got a bit of a puzzler. When engine is not turning over but ignition on, my stereo keeps switching itself on and off if the volume was left high when I last stopped the bus. Fine when running. It currently runs four 6x9 passive speakers. Battery and alternator are fine and belts recently rep...

The pipe should seal directly onto the injector,the washer could be the heat shield between the injector and head,if it's a turbo diesel,or copper washer for tdi return pipe,unfortunately I don't know what web site your on Thanks for the reply. Its a TD and brought the pipes from Brickwerks but JK ...
