    Permanent live on 7 pin tow socket?

    Thanks Rustic that explains it. My caravan has it's own on board battery charged from site and/or solar power. It also has a rear guard light so I think I'll stick with the 'spare' pin supplying the light rather than 12v power to the 'van. Rgds CL

    Permanent live on 7 pin tow socket?

    Hi all. Having just plugged the trailer into the 7 pin tow socket of the new (to me) '03 3ltr T2, I found that the trailer's rear high intensity fog light was on permanently. Traced it back to the tow socket having a permanent 12v live terminal feeding the fog light cable on the trailer...

    what weight?

    Hi Spiderpig Last winter I towed a big 1700kg single axle German Hobby with my '96 2.7 LWB (no intercooler) T2. It performed well even up mountain roads in Spain. So your T2 will handle a 1150 kg van no probs - it'll need judicious gear selection but lack of power will not be a major issue...

    Knock at full steering lock

    That's a classic symptom of dry, i.e. not greased, steering stops, as Rustic suggests. It happens when the lower parts of the steering mechanism contacts the steering stop on each side of the suspension and grates/knocks, sounding quite alarming. There are previous threads on the subject, one...

    Patrol bull bar - can it fit a T2?

    Hi Briggie The dark one in Edinburgh is a good deal at 45 quid but the Patrol ones are just a bit too far away (Australia!) shipping cost would be prohibitive. I've gone for the one in my link and got it for 240 Euros (around 200 quid) not a bad price by UK/French standards. What happened to...

    Patrol bull bar - can it fit a T2?

    Hi Briggie I've found lots of bars for Terranos but not wrap-arounds like the one in my link. You got any links to similar bars at a similar price? Regards CL

    Patrol bull bar - can it fit a T2?

    Hi Guys YES I'd like to get 'one' from that delivery girl too but I don't think my dear wife would be very understanding! Unfortunately they don't do a bull bar for the Terrano, hence my request for info from anyone who might have modified a 'Troll bar. Re getting the width measurement - my...

    Patrol bull bar - can it fit a T2?

    Will a bull bar made for a Patrol be easily adapted to fit on to a '03 T2? The Patrol is only 95mm wider than the T2. The chassis connections are probably different but I can manage a bit of simple welding. See:-...

    So which models got Aircon?

    My '96 square headlight model had AC (never worked) but no sunroof but then is was a LHD French original. It's crazy - all the UK 3ltrs I'm looking at have a sunroof and AC but the same models here in France all have AC but, in this land of oodles of sun - few have a sunroof - bizarre! CL

    She's finally gone (NO - not the missus!)

    Looks like we're both looking for the same thing! There's plenty out there, who knows we might meet up on a forecourt somewhere! Bon Chance CL.

    attempted murder on mine and my familys lives at weekend.

    Hi iceman So sorry to hear of your suffering at the hands of murderous bigots (of whatever persuasion). I lost two good friends during the troubles some years back. So glad that you and your family weren't yet another fatal statistic of that senseless conflict. Our thoughts and prayers are with...

    She's finally gone (NO - not the missus!)

    Yes my beloved auto partner of the last three years has finally gone to a new home. Sold the '96 T2 today and now looking for a replacement. Researching a LWB, manual, 3ltr, '02, '03 or '04 T2, preferably blue, SVE with all the goodies. So if anyone knows of a good lowish mileage one at a...

    Accepting Pay Pal payment?

    Plank I make you absolutely right. I've just sold the T2. Had promises of Pay Pal payment (hence this thread), other promises of payment in cash when the buyer could get it from the bank and get to my place, etc. etc. Had a buyer turn up this morning made an offer I could accept, paid in cash...

    New Driveway

    Hi Clivvy If you'll consider concrete and anticipate doing it yourself, exposed aggregate can be attractive and not difficult to lay. I've just laid over 100 square meters, on my own but with my good lady mixing for me. It was far cheaper than concrete blocks and paving, more durable and...

    Accepting Pay Pal payment?

    Hi Guys and thanks for your advice. Pay Pal want 3.4% for the deal, the EU base limit for unrestricted fund transfer is 2500 Euros (below my price), unless I contact PP and raise my limit. They also charge 2.5% to transfer Euros to a Sterling bank account. Furthermore I understand that PP...

    Accepting Pay Pal payment?

    I have a guy offering to buy my T2 but wants to pay with Pay Pal direct. Has anybody experience of accepting Pal Pal payments when selling not having advertised on ebay? What are the implications? Any chance he could dispute the deal after payment? Any advice welcome. Regards CL
