Re: Starter Batteries

Tayna Batteries. I've been using these for a while now for all my vehicles. Excellent value, UPS delivery and very knowledgeable on the phone. They certainly seem to know the quirks of our vans. Regards, Max. Tayna gets my vote too. Top service. Recently bought one for my son's VW Polo. Ordered at ...

Re: Recommended Exhaust for an Air-cooled T25

I have the stainless 2 tip gt on my 1.9 dg motor. Decent fit but quality of some of the welding suspect. Had to take it off after a few weeks to find source of rattle.
See pic. No issues since I welded it up properly.

Re: Historic MOT criteria

Sent mine off 2 weeks ago with covering letter. V5 arrived back today, doesn't say historic anywhere, no communication from DVLA saying I have done anything wrong. Just wait until I have to tax it after next April I guess. 🤔
