Yea, it starts squealing when I turn the lights etc on.

The two belt system seems a pain, I'd rather have one large one.

Apologies, it would help wouldn't it

The engine is a 1.6 TD, 1983 model.

Hi Folks,

My alternator and/or water pump belts are screeching like banshees!

I haven't anything to remove the bottom pulley unfortunately.

Is there a one belt conversion by any chance whereby the adjustment could be done at the alternator ?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
Filter etc is all clear.
And have connected pump straight to can of fresh diesel
But no joy

Hi People According to a mechanic friend, it seems as if my T25 diesel fuel pump is not working. It is not sucking in fuel properly! I had to confess that I had been running the van on a mixture of veggie oil and diesel. I am told that such may be the reason for the pump's problem. Can these pumps b...

I have more diesel worries :-( This time total blow plug failure on another T25 bus. Plenty of juice flowing to busbar and plugs but plugs are knackered! The problem is that the dub needs to be started and moved. A neighbour suggested using a blowtorch or heat gun at the air intake to warm the insid...

Actually, I've just been reminded that some months back I chucked a load of veggie oil into the tank mixing it with the diesel.
All worked fine but might I have damaged something? All the filters are clear however.

I wouldn't know how to check them

Thanks guys
Glow plugs and cold start all ok.
Air filter ok.
Tried fresh diesel - placed fuel line into can of fresh.
That's all I can do.

cheers anyway

Anybody in Coventry that can fix this dam thing? If so please message me.
If not, the van goes.

Cheers

Thanks Rick,
I'll have a look at that tomorrow

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure if it's relevant but the cold start lever which used to be a pain to pull out unless the engine was running comes out really easy now - coincidence?

Hi folks, Am hoping that you kind people may be able to help. Apologies if such has be asked before - i'm new! In short, my T25 1.6 TD will not run properly. It will start but is running terrible. It will not rev and is pumping out a fair bit of white smoke. It's like it's being flooded! Fuel is fre...
