1985 Autosleeper maroon decals need touch up, slight scratches , read somewhere of a matching colour touch up pot -think it was Alpha Romeo maroon , but not sure , does anyone know? 

Just tried to look , website down. My initial instinct was to look at Just Kampers mainly because I have always had good advice and service from them, does anyone know if they are ok in terms of engines, naturally will ring Campershack also later, any advice welcomed, thanks.May also ask mechanic to...

Well, bad news! The trusty mechanic tells me that my van is not on a good way. It has deterioration on the head gasket will water leaks from various areas, he also tells me that the metal front to back pipes are leaking and need replacing! Best option seems a new engine , new pipes, and likely new e...

No indication at all unfortunately

Had some mixed views from friends on the garage costs likely for water jacket gasket replacement ,(so still unclear), also whilst the work is in progress in the future, is it worth any other work , someone advised changing from a carburetta to fuel injection and electronic ignition,is this possible ...

Just has a good look whilst its dry outside, there seems to be a leak occurring when the vans running on the right had side as you look down into the engine bay,it looks like its possible that the water casing gasket has failed, as well as a hose leak further along from the engine. My guess is that ...

Thanks ,that gives a little hope, wont really know I suppose until its up on the ramp, it did get very very hot as I drove about 5 miles before I knew, saw some previous posts about water jacket gaskets , hope its not that as it sounds a big job... thanks for reply...

I originally thought is was the jubilee clip level with the rear wheel-ish that had worked loose on the rubber pipework that moved the coolant from front to back, however, its furthe...

Odd question I know , but as you know there a ridged rear area on the T25 Hardtop with a small rail around it, (assume its for goods but never tried) does anone know if it will take any weight - thanks

Thanks all for your help.

 

Many thanks for the comprehensive info received. I decided to start again and retrace my steps. I started in the engine compartment checking fluids and blue cap etc again. I doing so I cleaned up the electrical spade connections again fixed to the water coolants tubes, when I tried to start again th...

Thanks everyone for the good advice, had done my best to check what has been mentioned - there were a few uncertainties though as I am am not so good at the electrical aspects. Couldn't quite see the relay marked 42 0r 43 ( my van is a 1985 wonder if its different?). The darn thing decided to play u...

I have developed an issue on my dash (1985 T25 -1.9 Petrol).Its a red flashing water temp light - checked water levels in radiators - checked blue cap on radiator, its not an overheating issue? It goes out when I turn the lights on? So it looks to be a dashboard issue? Had it off , looked at connect...
