Thanks for the link. The improvised brackets don't look anything like the ones on this link (they are just pieces of angle)......though perhaps they should and the silencer should be rotated. Could be that the silencer is not quite the right part either. May just bodge it again until the silencer ca...

My T25 JX 1.6TD had improvised angle brackets holding the silencer on when I bought it 10 years ago. They broke eventually and I copied them using more angle. 5 years on and it is time to replace them again but I am getting a bit far from the original dimensions now. My question: does anyone know wh...

That is really helpful, thank you. I will go for the 185s in that case

I will have a go at measuring the rim width - it is a little tricky as the tyres are still on them

I have a Teka conversion T25 pop/hitop with Caravelle alloys wheels. They are fitted with 205/70R14 95H tyres. I am struggling to find any replacement tyres here in Spain of the right size. I have been told to fit commonly available 185R14s instead but I am not completely convinced. Does anyone know...

Thanks for all your help and support everyone. I finally got the garage to sort it out. The boss was pretty dismayed at the problem himself. They had rebuilt the pump and he showed me the part that had failed - it is the 4 toothed plate that rotates and squirts the diesel to each injector in turn. I...

They got me to buy: http://www.air-cooled-parts.com/cat/pro ... s_id=30490" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It had this type of filter - and I see now that yes it had a pre-heater: http://www.air-cooled-parts.com/cat/pro ... s_id=30491" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Don't think so - there was a secondary connection at the top of the filter - I offered to get a replacement and the mechanic told me to get the type without this bit - I understood it to be (in heavily accented Spanish) something to do with pre-heating the fuel before it goes to the pump and deemed ...

Thanks guys....glad I was thinking right...... what can come through a fuel filter big enough to wreck a pump?? Would like to find out exactly what part ended up doing the damage. I will let them finish fixing it so we can fight over a repaired van rather than end up with them leaving me with it dis...

I just had my leaky old diesel pump (JX 1.6TD) overhauled (all new seals etc) , new injectors, timing belt, water pump - don't want to think about how much it cost because I can't cry and type at the same time. Ran really nicely for 200km then spluttered to a 'tow me and my 2 small kids home' halt. ...
