I have a 1998 built 2.5TDI LWB motorhome.
Fitting new batteries as the old ones are dated 2009, sluggish to start and Euro Car Parts had a good offer (50%) so would be unlikely to afford them if not done now.
The strap holding the N/S fell off (a good start) and lifted it out. Not much of the tray left but glad I did it now, some corrosion on the wing but appears to be solid. A good brush down and repaint will do it.
Took out the O/S. Better but only marginally so now need to find two new trays A.S.A.P for the next trip.
Q1 The N/S rust has been in part due to the foam jacket over the wing trapping moisture. Why is it there as there is none on the O/S? Remove it?
Q2 The O/S tray has water sitting in it and no immediately obvious indication as to where from. Is there a known place for water to get in at either end of the bonnet?
Q3 http://magnumclassictransitpanels.co.uk/transit-mk5-1994-99.html?p=4&transit_model=66 list 3 trays. 1 has no bracketry so not right but the other two look exactly the same by the photograph Petrol and Diesel. Because the O/S sits in line with the wheel the side bracket should be on the long edge. Anybody used these and happy with them? I assume the description is right just the wrong Photo. Any other recommended source?
