I am putting my Beloved westy diesel for sale on fleabay next week, but beforehand I want to change the throttle and speedo cables. Will RHD cables fit my left hooker? Or are they different in some way? Any thoughts...ps, its a 1982 1.6.

you should see my 20m whip or the 7 foot firestik on the van. it looks like a dodgem , but that firestik really does work well, cant believe they stopped making them?
with it being mounted on the rear,as you know, its directional. i point the van where i want to work and bobs yer auntie

DO NOT get a short antenna you will waste your money....go for longest you can, the antenna is the most important piece in the puzzle http://www.cbradiobuyer.co.uk/red-thund ... le-antenna i use one of those for the ham (10m) band and cb, it works well with many contacts worldwide. if you have a bik...

its always been the same but ive just igored it. its never been a great starter on cold mornings, but if i leave the glow plugs on long enough it does go(lumpy) but it goes. but even if i have been driving for an hour in summer and gone in a shop for instance, why do i still need to leave the glow p...

nice one... thanks for the reply

buffoons

a 1.9d out of a golf(or similar) is a straight swap..... you wont look back.

cant for the life of me find where the burned wire went? i had a mess with it earlier, now the dash light is out and its showing 14.1v on tickover. the relay in the front is also working now :shock: i am baffled. ive wired a digital volt meter into the dash via a switch, so i cant keep an eye on it ...

anyone?
