Or they're dragging a bit, let them cool down then see if they spin easily or still binding.
Piston could be stuck in which case a strip down could be in order, easier to replace with a new caliper sometimes.

Re: 1.9DG to 2.1DJ engine swap
You haven't got to swap any coolant pipes as the 'block ' is essentially the same. You will need all the early cooling system swapping over to the dj obviously but it's there already, the oil cooler/warmer thing needs plumbing in admittedly and having the metal pipes from the donor engine helps but ...

Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25
That could be useful. Does it involve tapping into another wire, or do you need to mess with the blue plastic circuit? I think I'd rather mess the aftermarket tachometer than a 40 year old circuit board. Where have you taken the feed for the light from, just use the original one then when you 'turn...

Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25
I'm guessing you've already connected the wiring for illumination but if you tap into the original clock lights it's then dimmable along with the others.

Re: Are these rock 'n roll hinges?
Floorboard panels are 'different'. Mmm, what do you mean by different? Are you saying if I fitted different panels, I could make it work (=move the couch backwards a little)? Well, they do seem a little overkill when it's common to use 3mm ply/hardboard but heh, who am I to judge? I doubt anything ...

Re: Lithium Leisure Battery
If possible I'd go with Titan batteries. They're the only people who I know of that have an established UK based company and specialise in batteries. There's also Fogstar and Roamer, but they are a Vape shop and camper van converters I've got a Fogstar Drift 105ah battery and so far seems pretty go...

Re: No power from Alternator to Leisure batteries.
Why not just fit a Voltage sensing relay to your existing setup, or a B2B if funds allow, and use the existing system when on hook up.

Re: Moped Racks for VW T25 Campers
Motorbike Racks (davecooper.co.uk) I used one from here for yrs, Trail bikes, Trial bikes and even a little PW for my lad. I had to adapt the 'slots' where the wheels went depending on how big they were, only disadvantage I found was lifting the bike on and off if I was on my own as you put the fro...
