I can only comment on my experience,
in the gipsy (1.6 td) on the way from germany
averaged 26 mpg. treated a couple of times with redex
stuff.. now i get 31.5mpg. dont know if its that stuff OR
i am driving the truck better.
as mentioned before, it cant make it worse can it!

I dont think that speed is too bad....... how quick do ya wanna go? I had one and it was a little slower than that, but now I have a 1.6td and only really do 60 - 65 max (for some kind of economy). If the oil consumption is ok, and you are getting 20 - 25 mpg out of it doing that speed, I reckon tha...

the weight of the EMPTY vessel will be stamped on the bottle...

if you then weigh the bottle, and convert into KG that value, you
can work out the % full. there is always more in them than you think!

we were at windmill too.... nice place!

agree to the vapour, but sonds like clutch for the major prob to me.....

(i had the same on a van, but still did 10000 miles on it... just treat it carefully!)

Personally speaking, if im on a site and i opt for hook up (not always, depends on locality) you normally pay between £1.50 and £3.00 for hook up. If you are paying, you may as well make the most of the available energy. (you are paying for it) So my fridge runs on 230v mains, My kettle is on mains ...

It would be the site one first (as 1664 touched on) down to 'fusing discrimination' Your socket circuit is (probably) on a 10 or 16 amp breaker. ( you would not be pulling that at YOUR board ) Because the 6 amp would have 'broken' before that time..... therefore leaving your breakers unaffected in t...

The kettle in question will pull around 7 amp. that is in the 'ideal' world. Depends on the fusing of the site, and anything else you have got plugged in SHOULD trip it. Without working it out though, you would probably get around 2 - 3 mins of power BEFORE the supply trips. (only do this if you can...

Lefty: just remember this, for every 1KW (thats a 1000 watts) it will be drawing 4.54 amps in europe, and 4.34 amps here. so 6 amp connection you can draw 1320 watt and 10 amp connection you can draw 2200 watts. So....... look at your appliances and see what you can run together, i.e. at the same ti...

chech the wiki mate.... its all there. but quickly,order import pack from DVLA website, get ALL paperwork from germany that comes with the van, get export certificate, get the mot done, take paperwork (all of it) to local dvla place, give em bout 50 quid.....( and road tax money ) Done as that gordo...

last time i got a 075 it was 4 years ago....... 36 quid .....i would want a chauffeur included for that price...

i have 205's on mine.... believe they are standard rims. it came from karmann with that size on the log book....

Interesting bus! looks ok in a 'german/american/slightly pi55ed' way. prob very useable, but a bit pricey..... £6K maybe??

you think thats bad........... i was 'buying matching cushions' for mine yesterday.... an im no laura ashley lookalike (6'2" 16 stone of lard) lol

As mentioned before... RELAYS! its all down to voltage drop, and actual working % of the bulb. If the van is early fuse box type, the relay route is so simple. I have done them in the past and the difference is enormous. If you do a search through the wiki or search the site, I remember cumbriankeit...
