Re: Brickwerks at its best!!

Re: My 1990 T25 will not start

That helped it. I gave it an over night charge and that got the T25 1.6TD started. I have got my hazard swicth on oreder from Euro car parts. So once i get that fitted i can see if this helps the battery. Thats if euro have ordered me the right part? Fingers crossed they have :?:

Re: Steering wheel

Hi there, Hope you don't mind asking? I've got a golf wheel (that is what I was told) it's got the spline with it, but it doesn't fit probably over the T25 spline. Does your Golf steering wheel fit straight on? Or have you used a spline from the golf? If so did you have to cut the spline down? If so...
