I have spoken with a mechanic called Mickey he trades as Mickeys mechanics or somat like that. He did a turbo on me Seat very good value he also said he would fit parts if I get em as I felt I could get the turbo cheaper. He seams a really nice guy with a quite big unit he also told me that the loca...

Cheers for that always good to know and very close as I am in Great Oakley so only up the road. Like I said Simon at Campershack is a true god but that is north of Grantham so about fifty miles from me a little less for you. Shame we can't just ID a good un closer for the emergency or little jobs eh

Bump. I would also welcome a friendly point if I get stuck in the Corby or surrounding area. Also has anyone experience of a sensible MOT station in this area. I used Simon at Campershack for LPG conversion and initial set up and good check over when I got my van and will always as the man is a god ...

Hi

I have been offered a pair of Mercedes E class seats from a 1996 vehicle. They look very nice but can anyone tell me if they fit the T25 please. I will have the rails also.

Hi Searched most of the thread but can't find info - dim question but I am going to use either satin or matte black on my van. Would I still have to flat back between coats?

Thanks so much for getting back Just had a re check and yes stamped on block right in front under the tube is DG149488 so must be. I have just found out last night some of the history and it appears that the vehicle was a show vehicle for a vw camper and vehicle restorer and seller company. Small co...

Cheers – much appreciated I have a Haynes and yep pretty good. I have a big dilemma. I want to get this spot on and thought I was buying an up front vehicle – it turns out not. The engine seems tight and does not blow smoke. I agree the other symptoms are probably caused by needing a real good going...

Hi and sorry for late reply – been away Thanks for all the advice and as engine seems pretty ok I am going to do the basic service and check everything But when it comes to the wiring and plumbing and air hoses etc I don’t have a clue of lay out and have been trying to get a clear schematic or diagr...

Oh dear just my luck – get a good body and the rest goes wrong. Checked and definitely a dg engine although says 2.1 on log book – perks of getting a mechanic mate to do the deal miles from home I suppose. Still I am where I am and thank you all so much for the information, I will give it a good bas...

Hi Just bought the DOKA it has a 1.9 DG in it. Was a very fraught journey home could not get past about 40mph and very poor throttle response. I am going to go through things later but advice please. It has a crappy old K&N on top of the carb just pushed on – no air box. Have used these filters ...

Hi

Hoping to pick up a crew cab 1987 this weekend – having a mare of a time trying to get insurance.

Can’t seem to get it on a classic policy and need my NCB on my other modern car

Any suggestions please – thought this would be easy
