Hello, Just got van back on road after a winter sat in my yard. Noticed a lot of oil in the air filter and around housing box. It was noticed that emmissions were on high side but got through MOT. Sorry if this has been answered before but I searched forum and wiki and couldn't find an answer. Cheer...

Hello, Please can you lot give me some help. I want some roof bars for my T25 but cannot find any that specifically fit. Been to Halfords in Darlo and they were hopeless. Bascially because my van wasn't in their book they wouldn't recommend any!! Any pics would and links would be very much appreciat...

I've got G reg 1.9 DG petrol, T25. I have same problem and can't seem to get an answer or solution. I've jsut pulled the rocker covers off and checked all rods are sat nicely in the cups and there are no broken or loose bits! As for getting the tappets filling with oil hoe do I know if this is happe...

any advice dudes? just bumping post up the order!!!

Hello, I've got a G reg Petrol T25 with a DG engine and it sounds exactly the same as that video tape. I took the advice of changing oil and filter and it has made no difference. I drove on the motorway with it yesterday and for approx 30secs half way through journey (20mins) there was excess smoke ...

Hello,
Sorry if this has been covered before but I did do a search and didn't find anything......
Which seats will fit straight onto the runners of my G reg T25 Transporter?? Will Golf seats go on?
Cheers

Plasma cutter!?! Is that like a light saber....? You are right about the angle grinder/space issue there isno way it will fit in......hmmm can anyone give me an idea of how much it would cost to cut out the small strip (not the whole panel like in that YouTube film) and get another strip welded in, ...

Thanks for replies....... I've plled windows out today and wire brushed the rust off and taken paint/undercoat off.......It's not as bad as it looks on the photos above, I will post some tomorrow. The front of the van is still the same but if the weather fairs I'm gonna take an angle grinder to it!!...

Hello all, I've got a couple of rust issues. I've read lots of the posts about rust and window rubbers but there is a lack of pictures so I thought I would share mine. My T25 is a panel conversion whcih I have heard is the worst combination for rust problems and windows etc. [IMG:800:600]http://i64....

Yes yes yes, Same advice as above! If you are happy with performance stick with 1600. I got a T25 with knackered engine, I got loads of advice about swopping for a peugot or other VW or even a subaru engine! they all fit with a bit of tweaking. In the end I decided to recon my engine myself which ha...

Hello, This is possibly a daft question! I'm trying to flush out my pipes!! As I think there was a blockage, perhaps an air block or gunge block. I removed the rubber pipes that lead to the radiator and stuck a hose into the pipes that run right to the back. When I put it in one pipe the water overf...

I've taken my engine to bits thinking it was the head gasket that had gone but it looks like it hasn't, or if it had it was the main cause of water/oil mixing. I've followed the advice of a couple of mechanics and left the engine instead of dropping it. On www.benplace.com it states that removing th...

I don't know if you've seen this site but it's really smart and had helped me loads with fixong my head and general engine stuff.

I reckon a link would be a good idea or put it into wiki.

PS it's not my site!!

sorry for late reply, i've been at work all night!!

It's a water cooled 1.9 petrol. And it is the cylinder casing not piston as i stated!! doh!!

Hello, I've decided to take on the task of fixing/replacing the head gasket myself :? Anyway everything is going ok so far and I have found out that I actually have a recon engine in there and it looks in good condition so fingers crossed it should all go swimmingly!!! I need some advice as I am dow...
