A random thought from a bit of a novice / ex-T25 owner - is the adjuster stop / ratchet plate (I don't know the part's proper name, it's the grey l-shaped bracket thing) worn and/or bent? I'm wondering if, when everything's together and the brakes are being used in 'anger', it's slipping, i.e. not h...

Thanks for the replies, all.

After much searching on the interweb thingy, I managed to locate one of the two batteries recommended by Bilbo's at a reasonable price (some were really scary!). The battery is factory fresh, too, so hasn't been sitting gathering dust / discharging for an age....

Thank you- I'll see if auto elite list a 130ah option.

Thanks, both The battery is for our T5. Sadly, we had to part company with our T25 last year, to be able to afford the T5...... I don't think the T5 converts (inverts) the DC to AC; rather, the management unit converts the incoming AC to DC for the fridge and internal lighting. The two battery types...

Hello all

Can anyone recommend a good 130ah leisure battery, please? The two I've had suggested cost over £130.00 each; I'm wondering if any of you has found a cheaper but still good quality battery? Thanks!

All this techy stuff is very interesting! No problems like this on our DG, thank goodness....

Funnily enough, we took our 150,000-mile T25 all the way from West Sussex to the Outer Hebrides and back in May. We covered 2000 miles in 2 1/2 weeks, and had no problems whatsoever - these vans are magic!

OK, thank you - I'll take a look!

Hello, Cap'n! Thank you for you offer of the bike rack, and my apologies for not responding to you before now – I’m still a bit finger-and-thumbs with the 80-90 Forum, and didn’t see your response until yesterday! As I’m down in West Sussex, and I don’t at present have access to anyone who can weld ...

Thanks very much, everyone: I'll keep an eye out for a second hand rack - I can't afford a new one at the moment. I've put a 'wanted' ad in the appropriate forum.

Hello again

I think I've found a rack on e-bay - the ad says 'Fiamma Carry Bike VWT2 2 Bike Cycle Rack #123008902113'. The seller says he had it fitted to a 1973 (L reg) T2 vw camper - does anyone know if this will fit a 1987 T25, please? Thanks, folks!

Thank you, folks - I'll keep looking for the correct part number rack.

Thank you very much! I'll see if I can get the thing for a sensible price.....

Does anybody know if a Fiamma bike rack from a T4, can be fitted to a T25, please? Thanks!
