Re: Locating DIY source for T25 interior

Most conversion comoanies use vohringer - a german manufactured lightweight plywood. But it is bloody expensive - around 120quid a sheet I believe. You can by lightweight marine ply too - but it doenst have a melamine laminated surface like vohringer.

Re: What do these hoses do? Should they be connected somewhere?

What are the other ends attached to? My guess is the air filter box. If so, they are for the air intake. Not original but no doubt do the job. Push one up through the snorkel so it is getting fresh cold air whilst driving.

Re: speedo reading

I've got 195's on mine and against a gps mph app, the speedo was pretty much spot on.

Re: noisy tappet

Take it out for a good quick longish run. They drain down after a while if not used. If it persists, do an oil change with correct grade - 15w40 mineral.

Re: 1.9 Petrol engine - sluggish and cutting out

If its a pierburg card they have an extra fuel filter cone in the fuel inlet. Believe the technique for removing it is delicately using a screw thread. Once removed, clean and reinstate.

Could be responsible for that other 35%.

Had the same problem with eurocarparts. Think I got them from status in the end.
