I recently replaced a head, jug and piston on my t 25. I put the engine back in, adjusted the valves and it will start, run for a few minutes and then won't start again. Been working on this for a while and am quite frustrated at this point. Has anyone got any advice? It will start and run ok for a ...

Am stuck in north Yorkshire. Think i lost a cylinder on my 81 air cooled van. Anyone know a good mechanic in the area? We are staying in skipton tonight. Will get it checked out tomorrow but I am thinking of limping it the 3-4 hrs home. It's leaking a lot of oil and running really rough.

Where is a good place to buy propex. I would like to get a good price and get as many accesories with it as I can. Forgive me if this is a silly question but I am not from England and not sure where to get the best price. thanks for your help.

Mine is an Aircooled, fuel injection, German spec westfalia. I actually just got my haynes manual for Christmas. Could have used it a year ago! It get OK mileage I guess. Cant see it being much better than a carburated one though.

Yes the second large post I am speaking of is connected to the case itself. I know it may damage it but it cant get any worse right now I think.

Ok, The solenoid is engaging and causing the gear to pop out like it is supposed to when I arc from the main post to a smaller post. When I arc across the 2 large posts I get nothing. I am guessing the starter motor itself is gone. I really appreciate the response ghost123uk.

I do have a test meter and can use it ok. the solenoid was clicking at first when it was on the van. I tapped it with a hammer and it turned over fine. it then quit after that and wouldnt do anything. I am pretty sre I am getting 12 volts at the starter. I tried tea=sting the starter off the van wit...

Ok, so i got the starter out easy enough, took it apart and cleaned it a bit. Everything actually looked really clean. All the brushes look great. Put it back together, tested it and...nothing, just like when it was on the van. I assumed that if the solenoid was bad that the starter would at least t...

BOXY what type of van do you have and where did you get your starter?

I actually cleaned all the connection last wekend. Removed the earth srta, cleaned it all up, and replaced it. Cleaned all the connections in the entire system. Think I may have to take the starter apart and clean it up a little. Any known issues with this or just a couple of bolts holding it on lik...

Yep, wacked the solenoid and it turned right over. Next question, where do I get a solenoid or starter? Thanks
