A bit like that, except mine aren't girling. The teves ones don't have a cut out on them. Ta!

Anybody know where I can get front brake pad shims (1980 on Teves)? Took four pads and shims out and can only find three shims. :roll: I even emptied the entire wheely bin last night to see if I'd thrown it in with other stuff. Nearly two weeks worth of nappies in there so I'm a touch desperate. :cry:

anybody used it on the wheels and any tips for doing them? There are a couple of examples in the before and after thread but not sure if it is rustoleum on them. Mine look more than a bit shabby and I'm considering doing them with the same colour as the body but I'm not sure if its overkill. Its a s...

Bit of a long shot but maybe its a lose/worn speedo cable?

GSF do them, part no's 14563 and 14565.

a few years ago one of mine was like that - not quite rusted through all way around the flange though. If its just for getting it through the MOT then what you suggest might do it. I used good old exhaust bandage with added putty on top, it allows the flexibility to mold it a bit better. The repair ...

Just jumping on the back of this post - has anybody tried the retro fit flat wipers available from ebay? Worth the money or the usual pile of ebay..?

I'm going to be rollering mine fairly soon, my current paint is standard two tone cream on roof and red on lower body - anybody know if two one litre pots will do if I'm staying with the same colour?

Might have helped if I had read your other post first. :roll: Still think its the CU though. There's a filler tube on ebay that you might be interested in http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-T25-oil-filler-tube_W0QQitemZ160247757594QQihZ006QQcategoryZ36798QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Good luck :)

Somebody will probably correct me but I reckon its the 2ltr CU engine, purely based on the oil strainer.

I'll apologise in advance if this is a bit obvious but when the cap/leads were put on are you sure they are in the right order? I mixed them up on my triumph once and it took me weeks to figure it out. Then felt really stupid.

Bit of a daft question - if you change the colour of your van, do you need to get the V5c updated by the DVLA and if so how much does it cost?

Pretty sure its a 14mm socket. You will need an extension but not all than long, there are plenty of things to get in the way - 6 in one should do it. From memory (which isn't very good these days), top left doesn't need an extension, top right does and so do the front ones? I'm sure somebody will c...

What are mine trying to tell me? Electrode very black with lots of carbon so its a rich mix/bad choke. On two of them the insulation has a black ring round the base and all have a sticky oily substance around the threads but not on the electrode. I'm thinking that this could be due to worn rings (pi...

I'd say it was the spindles , I did the drivers side one without taking the dash out though. Fiddley but can be done.
