Cheers, lots of useful info there. Certainly appreciate the better the devil you know argument. Arthur at MAD in Bristol said the same and the engine's done me well over the time I've had the van. As well as the cambelt housing (which isn't a biggie I know), one of the mounts for the alternator has ...

Hi all. I'm considering replacing my Subaru engine for a newer version and would be interested in people's thoughts and opinions. I bought my van 10ish years ago. It had a Subaru conversion done before I bought it and details are sketchy. On the whole the engine has done us well but I'm considering ...

So I'm just starting to explore replacing the heater motor myself. Have read a few threads and watched a video or too - it seems daunting to a novice! Couple of questions for the more experienced before I dive in if that's okay. Reason for replacing motor is that when the motor is on full and wipers...

Thanks for the replies guys, really useful.

Hi all. Anyone able to give me any advice on either set of the wheels below? Would they take the load on a camper? Fit straight on? Considering changing my original steelies but not confident with my knowledge! Cheers.

Hi all. Need to replace my original tube lights in the top of my van. Struggling to find anything that doesn't give a harsh white light rather than the lovely amber glow of the originals. Saw one at Dream Lighting but that has a luminous on switch that glows in the dark which I don't really want eit...

Cheers Mocki. Will give it a try.

So I’m at a loss. Both barrels were working fine in old handles. Have been removed, cleaned and placed in new handles, now greased with WD40 silicone and still not working properly. Sometimes they jam and then rotate and sometimes they rotate and jam. I can’t see anything within the mech that is cau...

Thanks both. Barrels have been out and thoroughly cleaned. Didn’t grease them before putting them back in so will look at this. At the moment they sometimes move freely and at other times feel jammed, like it’s the wrong key and you have to keep wiggling and turning until it works.

Both my cab door triggers have gone in the last month. To keep everything on the same key, I managed to get hold of two handles in good nick but minus their barrels. I've taken mine out of the old handles, given them a clean and fitted them in my 'new' handles.  It's not the smooth transition I was ...

Cheers Rob, that is really good to know. I was nervous about ordering incorrectly and costing myself a wedge.

Resurrecting this! Having trouble with my hazard switch. Simply put, when it is clicked to on it doesn’t want to work. I have taken it out (twice now) and given all connectors a good clean. Both times when it has been refitted it has worked correctly. Each time I have tested it several times, turnin...

Thanks Lefty, that’s really helpful. Have ordered my electronic measurer so I can make sure of the fit! Onwards.

Hi all. Anyone any advice on the best runner seal for a supee Viking roof? Can’t find any that reference fitting it. JK have 4m seals for Devons and other conversions and a 10m Reimo rubber that they don’t have down as being for a T25. Picture of my current rubber below - it’s one continuous piece a...

Hi. Anyone recognise these wheels? Saw them on a T25 and like the look. 17 inch. Cheers.
