I used a cluster master and it’s great. Really easy installation and so far, reliable.

Roger vw bromyard is amazing, after he fixed my carb he sorted the cooling system. Luckily he did that because after a perfect drive to Cornwall a couple of weeks ago I got caught up in the hideous M5 4 hour delay on the return. The temp gauge went up and stayed in place as it should even after hour...

Have been going through the paper work that came with our van and have listed the jobs done since 2010 for ease of reference. Having looked through the mots for the past 10 years have realised that the van has averaged a 1000 miles per year each year. I just wanted to know how far you go in yours......

I hope they don't get the wrong idea and start thinking I am familiar with engines if I use technical terms like those?

Hi thanks for your 10p! Thought it may have been dirt in the one of the hoses. Going to try to do a bit of cleaning and checking tomorrow evening.

Hello I've a 1.9 petrol recon vege engine installed in 2006 in a t25 1988 vw. Had to get towed home tonight by a really nice bloke working for AA. The engine was running very nicely but then began to cut out completely as if there was too much petrol being pumped in which made it lose power and stal...
