thanks much appreciated!

Hi, I'm looking to fix my cab door lock (drivers side) - the locking mechanism works, but you can turn the lock with any key/knife/spoon! So i've managed to find a new lock/key set online - but looking through previous posts on sliding door locks etc - wondered if I should also purchase a new handle...

Aah sorry! Need to sleep! Also got it you're in wales. Thanks a lot for all your help.

Thanks everyone! Oo just dropped a load to replace the engine last year. Gonna have to take stock of finances!? Will message you in due course about it aiden if that's OK? Whereabouts are you based?

Hi

Ive had look underneath to check linkages and play around with gears seems fine...

You think its a new gearbox then?

Thanks for help

Vw t25 1.9 watercooled 1986 Just returning from a drive to Amsterdam. Halfway there 5th gear kept slipping out on acceleration! couldnt even hold it in 5th manually. Had to drive slowly in 4th halfway there and all way back! Looking around the forum there seems to be 2 opinions - 1. New gearbox 2. C...

thanks for your help, got to Snowdonia and back no problem. Will take a look at the Wiki.

Ah sorry 1986, vw t25 1.9, petrol. After fiddling with wires around the thermo housing - pullet out and back in the 43 relay fuse- right now the needle is back to normal but the light no longer flashes even on ignition. Which one is the temp sender on the 1986? Yeah the coolant tank is full to the b...

ok strange, just turned engine on - having not yet tested out your previous suggestion - and the gauge shot up to the top, staying there, while the light constantly flashed? any idea what's going on?

Apologies its a 1.9 petrol t25 - just had a new engine put in so it may well be that some wiring went mad during that...OK thanks ill have a go at that...anything else I can try while I'm routing around?

I take it I can't make a fix at the dash if the gauge has gone?

Thanks for your help

Hi, My coolant gauge needle is not moving - took for a 1.5 hour drive, the warning light flashes intermittently, everything else is working, coolant levels are good, fan switches on...in a bit of a rush as am driving london-wales tomorrow, any quick-fix advice would be great - as per, i have no clue...

It's petrol.

Hi My engine's (86 1.9 petrol) conked it and seems (considering my depleting bank supplies) I have a choice of an Elite Engine (the more I read the more I worry?) or entering the intimidating world of alternative engines. I have spent an hour or two going through long threads about conversions and a...

Took it to the garage, engine's cooked! Was nothing to do with water pump in the end.

The bolts holding the alternator to the chassis had snapped, snapping the belt -- must have been too long driving with no water pump i guess...wasn't long. pretty gutted where do I go from here?

hi, taking my T25 1986 1.9 home last night - suddenly the temp hit up, steam coming from the engine, water dripping from the back, engine cut out. Some nice people helped me push the van over to the hard shoulder of the M25, had a look and the v-belt had snapped (was a 1 year old belt). Recently, th...
