Our vans take to pulling a trailer very well. The one thing I keep forgetting to attach each time is that mini flag-pole so I can see that the trailer is still following me in the rear view mirror! I thought that very thing, a flag would be really helpful. ________________________________________________________________________________ what is best in life ?

| Brake linkage bolt freed up. Connected a Ctek charger to my leisure battery from my garage. If I drive off before disconnecting it just pops off But am I likely to do such a thing? Couldn't get the top bolt undone on the steering box to top up the fluid though ________________________________________________________________________________ I am an Engineer. I will fix this!

I did the same! Not been out in Eddie for 3 months and he started first time. Went for a lovely long drive and got the oil pumping around the engine. | |

On a watercooled it would mean a blown head gasket!! ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer @brazilianvwbay | |

| Cheating a bit as it was yesterday but gave him a good wash and took the back lights off to give the lenses a good clean up. Should have done before and after pictures as the difference was huge! | |

| We have a spare pair of back-light lenses. So change them over often and have plenty of time to clean up the dirty ones. However, even with new rubber seals on the housing there is always green growth inside the lens. Any tips to stop this? osg | |

| I have drilled small holes at the bottom of the lenses to let the water out. Tim | |
