Better look it up yourself my memory is shocking

It does say in Wiki always keep your old parts Have you checked that there are no allignment dowels on the flywheel that havent got a hole to go into and if so are the dowells too big for the holes When you say its tight is that tight as in solid or tight as in a bit of resistance against the spring...

Doh old Mechanic getting senile
Does the Wheel bearing or the centre grease cap get scaulding hot and I have assumed the Garage have checked to make sure your brakes arnt binding another common problem withthe T25 sticky pistons

Slight rock indicates some wear but that could be in the suspension ball joints and bushes depends on how hard you rocked it Rumble noise and its normally bearing related had one explode once and weld what was left of bearing to stub axle if in doubt get a mechanic who knows our T25's to give it a l...

I usually try to keep below 70mph on long trips. If i stick to 65mph I think i'm getting somwhere between 33-35mpg. Had it off of the vw clock a few times but 107mph on the sat nav once in a different country. Not with a standard non modified 1.9DG When brand spanking new and just run in we could o...

Have a look at JK website they do a 4 piece kit for the T25's (not sure of syncro but could be adapted no doubt) in Stainless 4 piece to eliminate removal of the Fuel Tank complete with joining pipes Halfords also do some long general purpouse bendy rad hoses you can cut the pipe back to good and wa...

Been some good advice on here already so I dont need to go through the whole thing but I will just add my one pearl of wisdom DO NOT FIT 240v Domestic twin & earth or single cables to your camper go for the multistrand cable as a house doesnt move vibration will not be a problem but movement in ...

Silly Question but where is the oil leaking from? It may be that you can spend only a little and rectify the leak or leaks for the sake of some new gaskets An engine rebuild will require some specialist tools as well as a reasonable set of mechanics tools please dont undo nuts & bolts with mole ...

Very nice and very exspensive The problem with that set up is its output peak output is only 3.75amps which will take a week to charge a large leisure battery and thats with max sun To put back what you might use overnight i.e. 50 amps approx will need a panel with twice the size or output starts ge...

Just going off their Website looked it up the other day as mines done 132k and although the body is in excellent original condition underneath (a few...

I know this sounds a little silly but did the good old boys in the tyre shop do the wheel up properly check your wheel nuts these guys tend to use impact wrenches with torqued wobble bars and they think thats ok never use a torque wrench but if the wobble bar is knackered ........ I only suggest thi...
