if it's on 125km, it's due a new engine
if it's on 125miles, it maybe a world record

TD with 125k on the clock and wondering what the life expectancy of engine is??? errr. month or two :shock: it's on borrowed time already, is my guess my TD has 180 000 km, and the second engine isn't new :( but search this site, or the wiki...if it's got good bodywork, worry not for the life left ...

Is a 2.1i that fast ?o mine read 165kmph (on an autobahn, obviously) i'ts always good fun to zoom past the older stuff on the M5 to vanfest :twisted: and joe, they do look like the comments from someone who may have imbibed a few frothy pints during the evening before logging on :lol: but all true :D

I don't want to make an expensive mistake.

It will be just a reduction in tyre noise.

and traction in mud

Aircooled vw drivers have had to face up to expensive replacement heat exchangers for 40 years, and no-one has yet come up with a better solution than buying new heat exchangers

*or fitting a watercooled engine / eber heater / buying an old watercooled audi for winter

The first is using 235/75/15 and the second 215/70/15. From what I have been told the 215/70s should give me a higher cruising speed but this spreadsheet doesn't seem to agree. What am I missing. you've been told wrong, and the spreadsheet is right. 235/75/15 will have a larger circumference, and t...

i like that one though,(theyre heavier). thats good that is! !!!!! :lol: i read it that t3s are heavier than a little car :lol: IF remoulds are heavier, then it wouldn't matter to us would it? with food, gas bottles, crates of beer, water tanks & etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc...

[Anyway, it was the relatively GREEN aspect of remoulds that got me thinking about the topic.. well, that's a good point, and the recycling of tyres has to be a good thing, surely. :?: but you need to check the rolling resistance and the expected milage of all tyres. then work out a cost benifit an...

Are they still considered a bad / dangerous idea? they have to pass quality control & EC tests before you can buy them, so loads better than second hand, IMHO. however, tyres may last 10000-50000 miles depending upon car & driver & make of tyre, so the cost is spread over a long time, a...

if you let me know the weekends you'll be camping over the next few years, then i can let you know if they'll be windy, or sunny

seriously, it's an impossible question, a bit of both is the answer, along with a petrol generator for the days neither is working. sorry

do you mean the fabric?
or the furniture as well?

hello & welcome well if it's '81 and Aircooled, i don't think it'd be a 1.9, possible but almost unheard of. it'll be much more likely to be a 2.0, and if when you say it holds 55-60, then my 2.0 a/c would comfortably hold 70, if you're talking MPH. it was poptop, and if yours is hightop then ob...

looks like you've done brilliantly so far :D what's the final colour going to be? i don't need to get her on and off the ferry, she is getting slammed gonna go for an 60-80mm drop all round. mines lowered (55 or 80?) and goes on/off ferry no problem :D corners loads better than a stock one too it's ...
