Re: Distributor for 2.1DJ with 2e3

As much as I want the best performance that I can get, I’m paranoid about melting a piston due to preignition so want to do everything I can to ensure I get optimal ignition.

I’m not planning to run LPG but will probably run super unleaded.

Distributor for 2.1DJ with 2e3

Hi, I've had a search for this and can't find any other references, so here goes... Currently running a late 1.9DG WBX and having a 2.1MV rebuilt with DJ pistons to run with my Pierburg 2E3 on a 120 jet. I have the DG distributor but looking to upgrade to a DJ one. I understand that 'N' suffix DJ di...

Re: Help with oil light

Just for the record this was fixed by sorting a lose circuit board under the speedo binnacle cover.

Re: Help with oil light

Some further info... I realised that the previous test was slightly inaccurate so I retested, this time with the low pressure switch disconnected and the high pressure switch line grounded so that the buzzer would not come on at high revs. This isolated the warning light glowing behaviour so that at...

Help with oil light

Hi, I Have just had my 1986 1.9 DG serviced and now the oil light is coming on. I have done quite a bit of searching but can't find anyone else with behaviour to match what I am seeing.

Re: Mercedes Double front Seats?

Thanks for all the info.

Seeing this makes me think i can get something to work the way I need it to.

The vito w639 seats look perfect, I think I'll just buy some and then figure the fittings out.

Thanks again!

Re: Mercedes Double front Seats?

Hey nice work and thanks for sharing the pic!

How did you fit them? Did you weld the tracks from the old T25 seats onto the new bases?

Re: Mercedes Double front Seats?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm not keen on lap belts, especially for the kids, so I'm going to have to get creative!

Mercedes Double front Seats?

Hi there, We're new here and hoping to get some advice please. We bought our T25 a few weeks ago and are now planning to make a few modifications over the winter. Top of the list is to be able to seat 5 people, all with 3 point belts, with a 3/4 R&R bed - so with space for 2 in the back we need ...
