Re: Rocket cover filled up with oil

Thank you, that was the answer I was hoping for. And yes, it was on cylinders 3 & 4. I've just never seen it filled up like that before, but it's good to know that's normal. Now I need to do some more testing on the buzzer. When the switch is unplugged and I rev the engine above 2,000 rpm, it sh...

Rocket cover filled up with oil

"New" 2.1 DJ back in the van after getting new cylinder head gaskets. The oil buzzer came on, but luckily I figured out the cables had been switched. When bleeding the coolant, it came back on I'll connect an oil pressure gauge and try to figure out what's going on. I took off the rocker c...

Re: Westfalia high top with fiamma F45

I have that style on a westy high top. They are good and strong. Just need regular cleaning as they block the gutter to a degree. Do you have any photos? Thanks  Is the Westy high top GRP? You could risk cracking it. We cut a small section of our Autosleeper pop top away to fit our ARB awning brack...

Westfalia high top with fiamma F45

Is anyone using the fiamma gutter brackets on their westfalia? I'm thinking about this ones

Wonder if they will fit? Or could they brake the lip of the high roof?

Nr 1 might be going reverse light or rear diff locker?

Have you connected the wire that goes on top of the coolant expansion tank?

Re: Colour for t25 Club Joker Hi Top

think the correct colour is l90d pastel white. 

Try giving it a good clean and some wax like other people here are saying. Here are my before and after pictures using collinite 925.

Re: Solar panel wiring

If you are willing to spend money I think a dc to dc charger that's also capable of handling lithium batteries is the way to go.

Re: Solar panel wiring

I'm thinking if you connect the solar output to the starter battery it will open the split charge system and charge both batteries. But what will happen when you start your car when the system is open? Will it draw power from your leisure battery? Or does your split charge system go one way?

Re: Play in passenger seat

It might be. It could also be this you need https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/glide-piec ... unner.html

Or if you have the ball bearing type it might just need tightening.

Have a look before you order.

Re: Coolant Temp Sender Connector

I didn't find it. My solution is to put on a newer type connector (443 906 232) and get the newer type sensor (251 919 501 D).

Re: Damaged Valve Stems – Are Lash Caps a solution?

I don't know anything about lash caps so, but it won't take that long to remove the heads and change the valves. Valves is about a 10£ each or you can get used ones, a complete gasket set 100£ so it won't cost you that much if you do it yourself. Wouldn't be surprised if you need new water gaskets a...

Also recommend you to order new bolts as they are normally rusted, brickwerks had them last time I did mine.

Its a good time to change your water pump when you are doing this job. Also remember to order the gaskets so you can take everything apart and put it together without a leak.
