Location of the flasher unit

Hi there.
I'm assuming the flasher unit is one of the cubish things in the fuse box.
Could anyone advise me which one? I know there's a schematic on the reverse side of the fuse box cover but my cover is missing.
Thanks for your help.
It's a 1986 1.pl petrol WBX

Age limit for tyes on a camper

Is it true that tyres over 5 years old on a T25 camper could possibly invalidate an insurance claim when involved in an accident?
This is what I have been told by my local tyre fitters.

Re: Replacement front seats for T25

I would recommend Isringhausen seats. If you are able to get a pair of these second hand then you will not be dissapointed. Also fit right in without modification.

Re: How is oil deash light meant to function?

Thanks for replies. I didn't know you could get a guage to check the Bar/PSI, thought you had to rely on the dash light. Where is the guage inserted then, does it plug into the same hole as the sensor i.e. take the sensor out, plug the guage in?
Cheers.

How is oil deash light meant to function?

Hi Folks, I've just had my engine rebuilt. The mechanic has fired it up but concerned about the oil pressure. Is the correct operation for the dash light to flash when the ignition is on then go off upon firing (when the pressure comes up)? What he is seeing is that the dash light gives a quick sing...

Re: Need a Friendly garage in Barnet EN5

Try Crystal Autos in High Barnet. They are down a small road that runs down the side of Flairline Furniture at the top end of the high street.

Re: How much for a diesel to petrol conversion?

There seems to be a lot more work than would be required for an engine swap on a Bay window or splitty which I have been told is quite quick and easy. As for the LEZ, the van is 2.6 Tonnes. I'm not sure what's on there making it heavier than most but there is a heavy duty armoured cover over the eng...

Re: How much for a diesel to petrol conversion?

Your guess seems a bit high to me, surely it can't be more than a couple of days work for an experienced mechanic?

Not sure what engine it is but surely does not have much of a bearing on cost of engine transplant. It's in an ex German Army bus 1.7litre, 4 speed box.

How much for a diesel to petrol conversion?

Interested to know how much to supply and fit a Suburu engine into a T25 (including removal of diesel engine).
LEZ phase 3 is looming.
Does my diesel engine have any value (only 24,000 km)?
Thanks.
