Club 80-90 Forums

Hi 8090 people, Sorry if this is in the wiki but wanted to ask as suppliers may have changed. I've got a T25 85 early type and the windows have rusted mostly below the seals. My next job is to get all the windows out, grind and weld up and paint them and i would like to know where to get new seals f...

Hi 80 90 people, does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with the engine, head gasket, etc or does my assessment on water jacket failure sound right? If so does this mean that the engine is a write off or can it be fixed and how???

Cheers,

nick.

Hi Lovely 80 90 people, We've had our van 85 DG for about three years and have had some good times in it with several trips down to Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and local jaunts around the peak district. I've known about a slow water leak from one of the pipes under the van and i've tried to seal a few t...

The stud holes have been drilled out to 14 mm and i'm hopefull that the centre bore is going to be big enough without getting those adjusted. I am going to get it up on axle stands tomorrow to check and do measurements for bolts / nuts. Thanks for your help. nick.

Thanks, Dunno know what they are called but are the type that used to be fitted to the 300s, late eighties i think proper retro. Large alloy bit in middle and 10 holes around the outside. I was thinking 10mm spacers but just wondered what tyre size people would suggest? Will probably end up buying b...

I have read Wiki info but just wanted to be sure before proceeding, 1985 Early Caravele Camper. Got some merc alloys for it and just wanted to check that i had got the wheel spacer / nuts / tyres conundrum right before opening my wallet. Wheels are 7.5 J x 16 H2 E.T. 41 and two have good 215 / 55 R1...

Thanks for you help. Bought some, wire brush ready and work starts next weekend. cheers, nick.

Hi All,

Been reading up on wiki about rust treatments and found than many people use this VACTAN paint. Could you tell me where to buy it at a decent price? thanks,

nick.

Thanks Ian and disreagard last post. Haynes has come to the rescue and the exploded steering wheel /(sounds dangerous) diagram. Will get the wire brush out and see how i get on. Horns got same problem i think and as you say i think it winter break has not been good for it. Cheers, nick.

Thanks for your help, how do i get to them? Thanks, nick.

Help! I'm just trying to get my van ready for it's MOT and the indicators are not working. Last year one side stopped working and then after storing over the winter both sides are not working when using the signal stalk. However when i use the hazards all four lights are working as the should. Not t...

Hi Martin, I think it presurised. There are two large pipes coming out of the header tank one above eachother. The top one was red hot and the other was cold. I do not think that the fan came on. If you put the dalek cap on with the threads screwed and it leaked would this same thing happen? I belie...

Help Please. Van been off road over winter and been starting it once in a while with no probs. Started it last weekend and expansion tank boiled up and started steaming. Its a 1985 Dg and i changed coolent last year and run it up and down country without problems. Read Haynes and some of the threads...

Thats more like it, thanks, nick.

Hi Everyone, My 1985 autosleeper camper is just about to come off the road and i am going to attack the dreaded rust around the windows. My van although being a proper camper seems to have the van type window rubbers which sit proud of the window glass. I have seen a really nice camper on ebay which...
