Hi.

I believe I have a crack in the coolant header tank (The one with the dalek cap) and wondered what the procedure is for replacing it?

Thank you

When removing the rocker cover – should I expect some oil to leak out? enough to warrant the use of an oil pan say ?

As I'm servicing the van tomorrow and after reading this thread, I thought I might clean my tower over night (oo er). Before I remove it, is it actually worth doing? and is it a difficult job to remove/put back on? I have a spare gasket at the ready should I go for it. If I do clean it out – what di...

Looking for T25 mechanic in Liphook Hants area. Any recommendations ?

Thank you again for your advice! This morning I got as far as getting new pipe on and some of the coolant back in. I guess I'm about a litre short of the total amount due to spillage and not putting the last cruddy dregs in. Should be ok to drive it the half mile to gfs to get some more G12 for a fi...

It's pink. G12. Do I attach overflow pipe back on cap each time I need to add a bit more coolant?

I am in a slight panic though, but I'm hoping I can solve the issues which have arisen this evening. I have removed the offending hose and in doing so about 2 - 3 litres of coolant ...

I need to replace the water hose which runs between the flange on the right hand cylinder head and the main plastic pipe running the whole way around the engine bay.

Thanks!

Got my hands on a replacement alternator, but the pulley wheel is one that sticks out too far. Can I swap it for the wheel on my current alternator? I have tried getting the nut off the new one, but I can't get enough resistance to loosen it — Any tips or tricks for that?

Thank you. Is it Ok to drive or will it affect the electrical system?

There is one about 20 miles away from me. How do I test it to know for sure its Diodes?
