Engine. That's why I thought mounting possibly. Or CV joint?

:cry: It's a close call but I think it'll strike on the front. Sadly (in financial terms) there's only one real way to find out!... :(

Headlight "blinkers"

Can you get the "lids" for headlights like the ones on Bays and Splitties? If so from where, or do they have to be adapted? :?:

Also, as I have never seen them on a T25, I'm not sure if they will look any good or actually quite lame? Thoughts anyone? :roll:

New Camper Curtains

hi folks, My Trident high-top has some "sun battled" curtains. Look ropey now, notably when on full view. Lots of people on the web offer the service. Any hints on who to go to or who to avoid? Neither me or my better half use a sewing machine so that's out. What about losing the curtains ...

This used to annoy me and I always intended to do something about it. Then, seeing your post, it dawned on me that I had got used to it and it didn't bug me any more! And it still doesn't... although I will think about it when I get in next time no doubt!!!

I had the same clicking noise with mine. The cable wasn't pushed on properly behind the binnacle. In my case it had to pushed on REALLY hard. Gone completely now. Whip the cover off, push it in. The original 30 seconfd fix.

Mine was done the week before last at Volkswerke in Taunton. Reliable second hand motors are like hen's teeth. In the end he sourced a new VW genuine part, apparently it was the only one in the country.

It Cost an arm and a leg. And of course seasonal temperatures are now at a high!
