lol, well i'm guessing that's what it was. is above roughly where the oil pump is. is black and looks like an upside down oil filter?

ok. update.... it's proven to be a combination of things. the rocker cover was actually out of shape. something i didn't notice on sunday when doing the gasket (was dark dismal n raining). so bashed it back into shape n refitted. is now nice n snug n non leaking:) also there's a light leak, more a l...

Well I'll be blowed

ditto'd. didn't know they did.
pah n mine never will. ze leeest is too big al-reddy

thankyou for yr kind offer toomanytoys. it is a good one indeedy. only prob is, i can't really work on terry in the evenings as no garage n no decent lighting and also weather dependant as only got the front street:( thanks again though for the offer

thanks for the replys. i'm pretty ok with Aircooled, but not so hot on w/c. are procedures more or less the same? i really hope it's not crankshaft seal as i know what's involved having had to do it on my bug. it's not just a crud build up it's deffo a leak. it started as a little spot but is now dr...

sorry, i should of said. it's 1.9 w/c stock 1984 engine

I'm relatively new to the T3 so bear with me :oops: i've changed the rocker cover gasket as it seemed the obvious thing to do first. when the rain finally s...

when you say you have more oil... is it thinner? has it water sat on top? was yr van flat when checking levels? only thing near i can think of (bearing in mind i'm more Aircooled) would be dodgy fuel pump that would cause the oil level to rise (sniff oil for petrol smell) and that the coolant loss w...

hope this might be of some help

will remember the crash helmet bit.
thanks for your time

aha if yr not on about the circlip on the main body of the van side of the strut (just incase we have wires crossed) then that'll be why i couldn't get it off. it was fading light n didn't see a clip on the cup part thanks for your time

yes i have the nuts, they have a ball that the cup sits onto. thing is, for the replacement struts i need the ball part of the joint so figured the cup should come off somehow? I just want to get the purple bit off

would just like to drag this up again as having the same problem, what was the persausion needed? and anyone else, if there is a pin on the cup end, would you do a little diagram to show maybe?

thanks

i thought transit engines were no good coz of not running on their sides? not having a pop just interested into why's n wherefores etc

but how hard is it to come by a decent t25 engine 1.9 petrol? terry's is of limited mileage and on it's way out, possibly later but more likely sooner i reckon. What sort of money would i be looking at? what/if are there any other options for on a budget with novice capabilities (ie i'd do an engine...
