The seal between the high top and the metal roof/ top of front windscreen has started to come out. Any tips on getting it back in and/or sticking it in place? Ta

Yep, 3in1. Didn't old points have a felt pad? And sort of on the same subject, the Advance and Retard vacuum went a few years ago when we were in The Peaks so really struggled. Called in the Green Flag and told the mechanic what I thought the problem was; he had no idea what a vacuum advance unit wa...

Thanks all.

I have had a dig around on the web but can't really find an explanation. Does an aerial need to be earthed? I know it has the little 'cage' around the plug into the radio but does it need to be earthed around the mounting? Mines a pillar mount and reception is pretty crap. Much worse than it was a y...

Go to a motor factors who can mix paint to match your van. The will have a spectrometer to identify the colour. That's the way to do it! The original paint will have faded/changed due to UV light, Global Warming, Brexit and any other factors. Try using the factory paint codes to match a 1990s Trium...

Oooh, we must be getting a bit older. Has anyone put a step under the sliding door to help you in? I don't want anything fancy.

I found out that the key to Lindsay's old SEAT Toledo (long since gone to the knackers yard) opened the van door locks and could be used to start it. Is any T25 owner near you whose key you could try?

I've ordered 2 of each. If that does under the tank, happy days. I'll let you know how it goes, but it'll be after the bank holiday now. I need to do this and don't want to end up posting on Itchyfeets procrastination thread! I'm guessing you aren't too far from me, Chewbacca. Could I come and have...

Grovel time underneath then. Thanks.

Nice job there Itchey. Does yours have a drain on the tank? Ours doesn't and I'm always a bit concerned about 'mankyness' building up in it especially as we SORN it over the Winter moths now. I was thinking of maybe fitting one of these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/251868562402?chn=ps&dispItem=1&am...

Thanks all. After your comments I did shop around and got one a lot cheaper. Thanks for saving me nearly £50!

It looks like I might need a new starter battery. It's to replace an Exide EB542 but I've been quoted nearly £100. Is this about right? Petrol 1.9 DG and fits under the driver's seat.

It's a piece of p*ss to make up your own. Shiraz told me how to do it and where to get the components from.

Thanks James. Your vids are invaluable, I've already used the carb and 'lights on' buzzer ones!
