When I researched mine, it too was shipped through Grimsby

I used this website....http://www.vw-mplate.com/mcode.php?lang=EN&plate_type=T2t3_79-92

I had a similar problem but mine was cause by a previous owner fixing a jubilee clip in such a way as to prevent the lever that opens and closes the valve from moving in its full sweep

This member will have what you need......NW_VW_T25. He breaks our vans and has helped me out with hard to find/emergency bits in the past.

Very easy to do, as long as you have got a pair of spring clip pliers. The front gearbox mounts can be different, the one that bolts to the subframe. ( Petrol and diesel 4 or 5 speed boxes can be different lengths I think) so try and get the gearbox mount with the replacement gearbox just in case. W...

Thanks for the advice, I will look for a vw diesel specific tacho and post back when I eventually get this sorted.

I have recently had to switch to a four speed box from a five speed and would like to fit a rev counter into my dash. I have an early 1.6d cs engine with no buzzer of doom. The original T25 rev counters are too expensive at the moment for me so I would like to fit a rev counter from another vw model...

Your other option is a decent used replacement from a reliable source, I trust a guy (a member on here) not far from you who breaks T25s for a living. Alternatively have you seen these https://www.theengineshop.info/acatalog/Transporter-2000cc-1980--1983-071100031XV.html . I am not recommending them...

Brickwerks the garage not the webshop are probably less than an hour or 50 miles from you, go to the best if they can fit you in. That is if they do engine recons, but I am sure they could fit one for you.

I may have been mistaken with my earlier comment. The thermostat on the engine regulates when and by how much hot water from the engine is allowed to flow to the radiator. Without a thermostat I presume the water is flowing through the radiator from initial start up ( this is not ideal) If the water...

I thought that with the thermostat removed the radiator fan will not turn on automatically. Have you checked either if the radiator fan is on constantly or starts when the engine begins to get hot as it should. Maybe there was a problem with the radiator fan which has been "fixed/bodged by elim...

When my non turbo diesel intermittently started to refuse to idle and occasionally not start I found that I had a leak at the fuel injector pump seal (the one on the shaft behind the drive sprocket). This was letting air in as well as a tiny amount of fuel seeping out. The fuel was running down behi...

I have been running with 195 R14C for a few years with a 1.6D and have not had any problems. Yes it slows going uphill but never so much that it worried me. Try this website, put your current tyre spec and gear ratios in and your old and new tyre sizes to find the comparison http://www.teammfactory....

I changed the type of oil on my 1.6 non diesel when I first serviced it. I put in the good synthetic vw oil I use for my Golf Tdi and used lots of oil......when I changed back to mineral oil the oil usage dropped back to within normal limits. 450 miles and the level went from the top mark on the dip...
