Nah, not really. I know nothing about the engine yet, don't want to mess with it till I know a bit more. I managed a reasonable work around. First I whipped the thermostat out of the housing. Then I undid the short large bore 90 deg pipe to the housing and rotated it out to an easy angle and inserte...

That siphon tube sounds like a good idea. It's more the fluid in the lump around the water jackets that I'm worried about though. I might try flushing it through with clean water by shoving a hose in. I guess that as long as the right amount of g12 goes in then the clean water in the block will just...

Hi guys, Very new (2 weeks) to T25 life and with competent but limited mechanical skills. I'm trying to drain and refill coolant on my engine but the tin plates over the drain plugs both have seized (on the verge of rounding) nuts on the exhaust side clips.

Thanks mate, you're a star. This is my first T25 so it's all Russian to me right now.

Thanks Ian,
it's looking that way mate

The T4 syncro is an odd beast. T4 bods tell me to go Syncro and vice versa. I'm just spread betting. I think the symptom is probably a universal one.

Hey guys, I've been getting a dry howl when changing gear under load for the last few weeks. It does not happen during normal driving, only when either changing down when decelerating or when using higher revs than normal when accelerating. Obviously, this is my precious van and I don't drive it lik...

Thanks for the feedback fellas, makes it all worthwhile.

The invisible woman stood her ground, thankful that no-one could see her blushing.

Hey guys, What a fantastic weekend. I didn't know what to expect, as this was my first off road event ever, but I know for sure that it exceeded anything that I imagined. Really great fun and good company, thanks to Footstuck for the heads-up. I've put a photo journal together located at the link be...
