Many thanks !

As suggested, I have added my van details to my signature .. yep ! a very good idea

The coolant reservoir on the right of my engine is leaking, so I need to buy a replacement. I've just had it checked at my local garage as I was losing coolant. The mechanic didn't know where he could buy a replacement, so I'm now on the hunt for one, hence this posting It's not the reservoir behind...

OP here Thank you for your replies. No, not the original engine .. I had it replaced a few years ago, and that wasn't a new one .. I say 'had it replaced' .. really means I had to have it replaced .. blew up ! I'll take a picture tomorrow .. it's pouring down now UPDATE ! Sorry, I don't know how to ...

Before I start, I want to say .. I'm not really sure what I am talking about, but please bear with me. Just keep in mind .. I have a T25 Turbo diesel 'G-reg' van  A friend of mine has a converted campervan that recently had an MOT. He was told the emissions were high, but not high enough to fail. Wh...

I am looking to buy a new leisure battery for my T25 Due to lockdowns and then a fault, my van wasn't used for well over 2 years. The existing leisure battery is several years old, so before going away I think it's time for a new one .. no doubt there are better batteries now anyway. Any recommendat...

It might be the voltage regulator on the alternator needs replacing which is an easy/ quick cheap job to do. Or maybe you have disturbed a wire when swapping the battery. I would check the output with a multimeter. All belts tight? David. Thanks for your reply. My mate, who used to own his own gara...

Just checked everything with the multimeter

Seems the alternator isn't working .. so that's the next thing to replace

This campervan game is getting expensive

I want to put in a child seat in the back of my van, but the current seat belt is too short to go around the car seat, so I need an extension. I see some on ebay, but just wondering how good / safe these are. the child seat will fit in the front, but I think I would prefer it at the rear. thanks for...

As the title says .. I've recently got a new battery and this morning the van started without problems. Normally as soon as I pick up revs. the battery indicator light goes from very bright to off, but this morning, the whole journey there was a feint flickering light. I decided to return home .. fa...

Bosch, Varta Maybe try a battery conditioner / charger first in existing battery. The cold weather soon highlights weak batteries. The current battery was a Bosch and it lasted for just over 5 years years ... just checked my receipts and the 5-year guaranteed has actually just ran out in Novemebr 2...

yes, I agree it's time for a new battery
 

My current battery is about 5 years old but this evening it let me down .. leaving me stranded at the local supermarket (wife wasn't too pleased either) The van stood for well over 2 years without moving which was probably not good for the battery, as it was broken. This year I got the van fixed and...

Orange Triple QX still available from eurocarparts & carparts4less so I’d personally say stick with it unless you are wanting to do a complete drain and flush. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I think I'll just stick to what I know The van was off the road for over 2 years, but this work...

I have a '89 turbo diesel T25 and have always used the orange coolant, Triple QX and after a cold night last night I think i need to get some. To be truthful, the last few times I have just added water ... probably not ideal, but with winter approaching fast, I need some proper antifreeze. Unfortuna...

Big Boy body filler is good. Really easy to apply and comes in a few different types depending on what your doing. Available from Tool Station/ Screwfix etc. David. Thanks .. I've actually used Big Boy filler before, for repairing furniture prior to painting and it worked well. Available in my loca...
