cheers guys. much useful info indeed!

kinda reassuring, your reply. the wiki? yep. read it maybe four times today! still feel it's not in there somehow. I've driven a T25 1989 1.7d since 1996, this is my second. determined to crack this one. it's a new one to me. but still sure it's a front end problem, as does my mechanic.

thanks! your reply makes me nervous, but it's all important info. important to know. time will tell.

thanks mate, will take a peek at it over the weekend. not much else to do in this weather : )

thanks. will phone him tomorrow.

Vehicle: 1989 T25 Transporter van Model: 1.7D, 5-speed box. Problem: My gearshifter keeps [increasingly so] getting jammed, when shifting for reverse.

It's a non standard engine, a 1.6D from a Jetta, originally the van had a 1.7D I just spoke to my VW mechanic back in Cornwall, and he's not ready to give up yet. We may well still need an engine, but need a couple more ...

I have a panel van that I'm converting. There is no headlinging in it whatsoever, not even in the cab. The roof has had a load of thick insulating foam glued to it, deep enough that it drops a mill or two below the metal framework of the roof. On my old van I had a cheap option of fur lining straigh...

I have a bolt missing on the rear access flap to the engine bay [the one where you top up oil and water]. I want to replace it, but can't get one off my other van to try. I've had a look at other options, but I have this feeling that there's another part that goes behind the metal panel [nut? clip?]...
