I need to take a lead from battery under drivers seat to the engine bay. Does the T25 have a cable run/channel or will it have to go externally under the vehicle ?

Cheers

suspect temp sender T25 1.9DG 1987

When I start from cold and engine warms up, temperature gauge gradually move to correct position at 12 o'clock. After a couple of minutes, the gauge goes back to cold and stays there. Is this a faulty temperature sender ? I have renewed the thermostat a couple of months ago and the gauge was indicat...

Intermitant fault - no idle

Got 1987 1.9 Petrol watercooled DG. Generally the engine runs beautifully with perfect idle tick-over. Occasionally, the idle disappears completely and whenever I stop at a junction/roundabout etc. the engine will cut out. I can only keep it going with some nifty accelerator/clutch/handbrake activit...

cleaning oil off patio blockwork

Can anyone recommend a good propriotory cleaner for removing oil stains from patio blockwork. I did a google search and loads came up with very mixed reviews. I also have a spillage that went on the pavement which is tarmac based.

Any help appreciated

Re: Blue Water Pipe and bits

Re: Blue Water Pipe and bits

I went to Hunter and Coombes and they have a good range of stuff and just as cheap as on-line, so got my bits there.

Graham, you're probably right once I get to find them all out, only just got my first camper ! Do we have any garages/mechanics that specialise and are reasonable in price ?
