Hi all,
As OH and I are embarking on buying our first camper together I think it would be good for me to know some basci mechanics so I can show our new van some love! Ok ok...to be able to successfully tinker and look after it I should say. OH knows a littel bit about motors but i am a complete novice. I can fill radiator fluid up and check oil but honestly that is as far a foray that I have under a bonnet!
So...any adivce on how I can get some know how on what sorts of things should be regualrly checked/changed etc on a T25??
Thanks........NB....I am not afraid of getting dirty and am not the type of 'bird' to get upset if I break a nail......oh ok only if I break 2!!!!!

i would really sugest that you buy a Haynes Manual on the T25 but as there is 2 types of Haynes, 1 Covers Aircooled and 1 covers Watercooled, buy the camper first then buy the book, and why dont you join the club as I see you are only a registered member. and can you fill in your profile a little bit more , were you are and a valid e-mail, this also helps when you post up any tech questions there maybe somone near you that can give local advice, Oh and welcome to the Club. Hope you have deep pockets as these vehicles are now collectors items and spares can be somtimes hard to find -------------
