bit of a up date

ordered the new rubbers and bushes for the gear's so hopefully Mrs bungle can find second more often

bought a new roof canvas for less than 1/2 price

got a price that wasn't bad to lower the bus a bit

but not this much

bit more work done today

the windscreen washers have never worked

all the bits were there but just not plumbed in

i gave up trying to work it out, luckily some one with a camper offered help and they were only just down the road

its a funny system as there's no water pump

you have a washer bottle with a pipe out of the bottom and a pipe out of the top, the top pipe has a air valve in it and you have to pressurise it to 40 psi

the pipe out of the bottom then goes up to the wiper switch where there's a switch for the water pipe, after this its off to the washer jets

wouldn't it just be easier with a pump Mr VW ?

so while i was fixing i removed the dash and fixed the panel lights, fixed the reversing lights and ran a new wire from the leisure battery to the radio

so a good day playing in the garden today :thumbsup:

just still need to find time to go camping in her >_<
