Re: Anyone used these levellers?

thanks for that. I should have read the listing properly. I thought they looked a bit steep.

Anyone used these levellers?

I have been looking for a set of levelling chocks and these seem suspiciously cheap on ebay item number 260380600303. Just wondered if anyone had used them. The angle looked a bit steep to me.

Re: Oil change frequency

Sorry tony, it's a 1900 diesel watercooled recon engine changed 13000 miles ago.

Thanks Fritz. I will probably do it every 5 - 6K miles. I just thought I might have been missing something as the previous owner seemed to know what he was doing.
Regards

Oil change frequency

Just gone through a mountain of receipts that came with my recently purchased van and noticed that the previous owner seems to have changed the oil and filter about every 1500 miles. This seems a bit excessive to me and certainly more than the haynes manual suggests. I realise that it can't have don...

Re: Honda Generators

Thanks everyone. Looks like I have been given a nice bit of kit. I will give it a good going over this weekend and try it out. So far have only had time to pull the handle and make sure it fires up.

Re: Honda Generators

thanks Fritz,
Yes, thats the beast. It was given to me by a friend that does house clearances. He knew I had just bought a T25 and thought it would be useful. It looks to be in reasonable nick and fires up with a bit of pulling.

Honda Generators

I have been given a Honda EX1000 generator without a manual or any instructions. Does anyone know anything about this model or have any experience of it? I think it is classed as a suitcase generator but it's not the sort of thing you would want to check in on a Ryanair flight!! and has been superce...

Re: Seat reupholstery or replacement ???

Thanks for the replies guys. Had a look at the mega mat site, looks very good value, I will ask him for a quote and get some of his mats as well. Had a look at the Saab seat fitting guide, prob a bit beyond my mechanical crap capabilities. There is a nice pair of saab 9000 seats on ebay at the momen...

Seat reupholstery or replacement ???

My recently bought 1987 T25 has a badly worn drivers seat. I have found on here that saab 9000 seats will fit with a bit of modification here and there but a bit beyond my engineering ability. I also managed to find on here that caravelle seats will bolt straight in but they seem to be as rare as a ...

Re: Mini Gutter trim

Thanks everyone for your quick and helpful replies. Very impressive forum and club.
After A. Kirks reply, I will treat any surface rust then glue the stuff on and hopefully this should also reduce or stop the shrinkage problem.

Mini Gutter trim

Hi, this is my first post on here. I have just bought a 1987 high top camper and have noticed that the plastic trim on the gutter is missing in parts. Looking on ebay, the mini trim looks very similar. does anyone know if it fits the T25 gutter and would the profile be similar to the original as I h...
