Leaking windows ?

My Tailgate appears to be leaking water in around the window seal, is there an easy fix or is it glass out and re seal or new rubber. This also seems to be rusting the inside of the tailgate by the lower corners of the window area. My side windows where very wet in the corners last year when camping...

Re: Are these wing mirrors suitable?

One of the cheapest and best mods I've done on my van. Bought the brackets of Rowlesy and a mate of mine gave me some old Landy mirrors he had :D . Another bonus is you can see both sides of your can properly, which I couldn't with the originals

Re: Show Us The Homes - Shelters Built For Your Campers

Started to make some panels up and block the side of my lean to in. Bought the secondhand window for a tenner. It will never be as snug as a garage but saves the van from the worst :D http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t420/gteachen/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-11/BE89A8DF-F6BD-46EE-BADC-8989ED1B36FA_zpsx...

Re: Injection pump cleaner

Agree with lloydy, only use the best fuels. I work in a small garage and we see so many cars with running problems, blocked DPFs etc and when I ask what fuel the customer uses......always the same answer , cheap supermarket fuel. Some of the cleaners and fuel additives made by the likes of Forte are...

Losing radio

Hi, can't understand what's wrong with my radio. When sat under my lean to it picks up the stations very well, and when in a built up area it's ok , but as soon as I am out on the open road it loses the signal but not completely. If I am going along a motorway it's as if I have turned the sound down...

Re: T25 steering very stiff

My van used to have power steering but a previous owner removed it probably due to cost and fitted a manual rack. When I bought the van it had Porsche 17" wheels with low profile tyres and the steering was really heavy. I changed the wheels for 15" Empi's with 215/70/15 tyres and now both ...
