Re: Rear Seatbelts - A thousand apologies

Ok, the lapbelt in t'middle isn't an issue. I need the 3-p's for my two kid's child seats.

Re: Rear Seatbelts - A thousand apologies

Axeman, thanks. It won't open on my iPhone so I'll try on my PC when I get home. Aidan, there's nothing in the back. I have 3-p's in the front driver and pass and a centre lap belt. Then three laps across the back. My Doka is ex-German military so maybe it's a military spec thing? I'm not sure. Fabr...

Re: Rear Seatbelts - A thousand apologies

Ok. I'll get my Dad to fabricate the necessary bracketry and a mate to weld it in.

Anybody do the honours of photographing a factory mount so I can see what one looks like please?

Re: Rear Seatbelts - A thousand apologies

Cheers Neil.

Yeah unfortunately I have lapbelts across the three rear seats. My other option is to find some seats with the belts built in - out of a Renault Scenic or similar - and swap the whole seats. The existing brown vinyl doesn't hold that much appeal... ;)

Rear Seatbelts - A thousand apologies

Hi I have an '86 Doka - not a Syncro but there seems to be more Syncro Doka's than not. I need to fit 3-point Seatbelts in the back of mine and all the posts on C80-90 are panel vans and campers. So; 1. Has anybody fitted rear Seatbelts to their Doka? 2. Any tips/ advice? I know I can get a seatbelt...

Re: seat belts

Any idea if the same would apply to my Doka? I need to put 3-points in the rear... Cheers

Re: Water Pump Issue on 1Y Engine Swap - Please Help!

Yeah.. no.. sorry... What I mean is, the DoKa started off life with the 1.6D, which was then changed to a 1.9 (1Y). This engine was a pig to start and we've had a steep learning curve with it, having only had her 7 months. Then it ran on it's own oil, so we've gone ahead and changed the engine for a...

Water Pump Issue on 1Y Engine Swap - Please Help!

Afternoon,

Just put a 1Y diesel into my '86 DoKa yesterday but need a little bit of help...

Do I need to run the water pump backwards? The dash temperature gauge works, but takes it's sweet time about it...

Any help greatly appreciated... :D

Thanks, Adam

Fuel filter

Hi Just getting ready to road test 1.9D in my '86 Doka. She doesn't like starting much, but runs well when going. 2 thoughts about the starting; 1) do the glow plugs work well 2) is the fuel dropping back. The only filter seems to be an inline plastic bulb type with a paper filter. Should there have...

Re: Newbie T25 Owner... HELP ME PLEASE!!

Morning, Just thought I'd give an update... So, the gearbox came out of her easy-peasy and as Aidan correctly suggested, there was no spigot bearing in t'box. So she's had a spigot bearing, plus the associated bushes. The clutch slave cylinder is also tired, so there's a new one just arrived in the ...

Newbie T25 Owner... HELP ME PLEASE!!

Evening, Just bought (in the last 3 an' a bit weeks) an '86 Doka, ex-German Army. Imported May '09. Had the 1.6D but this was removed and replaced with a 1.9NAD from a Golf MkIII - no idea of what year the Golf is/was though. The Doka has the original 4-speed gearbox mated to the Golf engine using t...
