Hi the battery is 18 months old. Started again this morning.

Hi hoping you can help or advise. Took the T25 1.9 water cooled to Dorset for a few days on a camp site. We then planned to go onto Bath  but after 4 days of no driving the van wouldn't fire up yesterday morning. Just a clunk. The van hasn't been used as much since i retired from mobile DJ'ing last ...

Now all the crap is well and truly off its worse that i imagined. They  have brought in a specialist to quote me for the works but before...

Thanks chaps certainly has me thinking where to source my fuel. I generally use Shell down the road from me so will need to check. On long journeys I've filled up with Sainsburys so going to be very wary now. Maybe the higher octane is a better bet rather than standard unleaded? Makes you wonder how...
