Re: Rear Air intake Covers

We have a yellow magnetic strip to help water run off from the gutter and stops the rain ‘drip drip drip’ when we’re trying to sleep!

Re: Paint rub/fade

Thank you both! It doesn’t feel any different to the touch in terms of layers, so will give it a buff over the weekend and report back.

Paint rub/fade

We’ve recently been away for 4 days with the awning rubbing against the cab door, which seems to have left a lighter section of paint. Has it taken off the top coat? Can anyone diagnose it? I will see if it is something that will buff out with a bit of polish [emoji2369] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn...

Re: What would you put with pastel white?

I’m a huge fan of bamboo yellow...but I am biased! Our wheels are pastel white https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210424/c8dff33bc143387bf4d4c72422a74976.jpg I’ve always liked VW’s choice of colours, but according to these, the only colour which goes with pastel white is pastel white [emoji12] https...

Re: Engine cover/lid insulation and sound deadening

Bamboo Billy, when you say the retainers are like a wire coathanger, are they completely bendable and stay in whatever shape you've bent them to (like a coathanger) or are they 'springy' and try to return to that circular shape? Cheers, Ian   Hi Ian, they are fairly springy from memory, but the lin...

Re: Engine cover/lid insulation and sound deadening

Thanks All, really useful.  I might give Mick a call and see if he has any originals if not I'll see what I can find lying around in the tip that is my garage!  Bamboo Billy, seriously considering a Blazecut too - which length is that one you've installed? 2m or 3m?.  Read too many horror stories a...

Re: Engine cover/lid insulation and sound deadening

I replaced mine with NoiseKiller. The retainers are a bit like a metal coat-hanger which just tuck in. Attached a Blazecut extinguisher with some cable ties at the same time

Re: Stereo swap, ISO wiring harness adaptor

Great thank you Multisi and Rob!

I’ve had a look at both BW & Halfs and I don’t think either have a ‘plug & play’ adapter which will link to the existing loom... I’ll have to chop and rewire I think!
