Re: Glasgow garages Symapthetic to the plight of the T25

Re: Oil Leak 1990 T25 1.9 Petrol

We have a Brucey Bonus gents, it was the oil pressure switch. £4. Ordered.

Thanks for all your help. Your guidance has likely saved me a chunk at the garage.

Re: Oil Leak 1990 T25 1.9 Petrol

The leak is definitely running from behind it. Towards the left hand side. Hoping it's just the one. It is leaking a lot thoug. It went through ten maybe twelve litres between london and glasgow. It was blowing back at the exhaust amd smoking a bit which didn't help. If you were a gambling man what ...

Re: Oil Leak 1990 T25 1.9 Petrol

If I do manage to get the tinware off myself will I be able to see the bottom of the push rods from there and suss out if there's one leaking?

Glasgow garages Symapthetic to the plight of the T25

Hi all.

Can anyone recommend garages in the Glasgow area that are happy to work on T25's at a sensible price? I found a guy in Mount Florida that's willing to have a look on Tuesday that's worked on them but I know nothing about him so far.

Thanks

I've been pricing them up -£15 for standard plus £1.80 for the 2 seals, £28 for telescopic so not a massive difference and if this cuts down a little on labour charges then it seems the obvious choice.

Re: Oil Leak 1990 T25 1.9 Petrol

Excellent. Thanks very much. I'd have no clue how to do the work but I'll at least sound knowledgable in the garage. I've taken it off my Mums hands to try and get everything sorted so she can use it hassle free.

Any idea what sort of costs to expect for those scenarios?

Hi. new user, first time poster - looking for a quick bit of info before i take my non mechanical self to the garage. I have a pretty bad oil leak. I've attached a pick of where the leak is coming from, you'll see there is a bolt missing. I'm wondering if there's a gasket under that plate maybe? Any...
