Thanks for the responses... Ended up going to one arranged by a friend of a friend which was great! http://www.ecclesden.co.uk and those friends by shear coincidence were T25 owners... As were all of their chums! A great weekend was had by all!

Any decent but basic sites within 30 miles of Brighton?
Evening All! Was wondering if anyone could recommend any campsites within 30 miles or so of Brighton? The sis-in-law wants to go camping for her birthday with a few friends (all tenters) and would like us to go... but all of the sites they usually go to are tents only or fully booked now! We only ne...

Re: "Dying Swan" Wiper!
Cheers! Didn't realise it'd be that simple... Had visions of it being attached quite differently! As soon as I went outside and had a close look I found the little cover thing and felt a bit of a div! As it turns out once I accessed the nut it seemed a little loose so I figured before fannying aroun...

"Dying Swan" Wiper!
Morning Guys I had a bit of a nightmare yesterday when one of the windscreeen wipers stuttered, stuck... and then swung bonnetwards. I've done a quick search on here and found the thread about refreshing the splines etc. How do I get the wiper off to access all the bits I need to look at. I know it ...

Lack of power where there used to be oomph!
Morning Guys I was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose what's potentially wrong with my van... 1985 1.9 DG Was driving a route up the country that I'm more than familiar with, and at any incline (and I don't mean massive hill!) I had my foot to the floor and was still losing speed... and not ...

Re: Bodywork advice needed please... *UPDATED*
Not entirely sure yet but Paul (mechanic) knows the extent to which the piggy will cough up... (there have been a couple of extras workwise since the initial quote so will get the bill this week!)

Re: Bodywork advice needed please...
*** UPDATE *** Well after waiting for what seemed like an eternity the bodywork on the van is almost done!!! In the end I found a local VW specialist who quoted a good price and had a good recommendation from a neighbour with a Bay. Took it in on Thursday 12th August... This is how it looked on the ...

Re: awning skirt
Agreed..
I made ours for the grand sum of a fiver I think... old/cheapo groundsheet and a length of bungee cord that goes over fron and rear wheels. Works really well.

Re: Fried Plugs - engine too hot!
Cheers guys. So 3 things to mention to the mechanic then really.. timing, mixture (which he had ummed and arred about a bit today) and correct plugs. I'm away from home (and the van) for a few days now so cannot check what's on it - but what plugs should it have if it is a DG as Ian 99% suspects??? ...

Re: Fried Plugs - engine too hot!
Have just had another quick squizz for the engine number but the area you refer to is covered in gunk and I'm in clean mode - about to go to work so it'll have to wait until i'm back in a few days. Regarding "setting the choke" I've got into the habit (be it good or bad!) of depressing the...

Re: Fried Plugs - engine too hot!
See the black tower thing where you wrote 'star' on pic 2 there's a flat area facing the back of the van, behind the adjuster bracket, the engine number's there. It appears to have a Pierburg carb so it's probably a DG (it has the early exhaust and cooling system btw :wink: ). The number you show i...

Re: Fried Plugs - engine too hot!
Well I've taken a couple of pics to help explain myself... I don't profess to know anything much at all about engines! Looked for the engine code a while ago and came up against a brick wall... couldn't find a DG or a DF or any other prefix.... I'm probably looking in the wrong place though knowing ...
