Tried to fit my et42 merc alloys which are 7.5 h2 by 16 and they made contact with the suspension on the ramps?!? Mine are from a w211 estate I think but look nice, be a shame to sell them

Can they fit the t25 or should I have tried to fit the wheel without it being jacked up on the ramps?!?

Hi, have got these same wheels and am just about to attempt fitting!!

do you know what spacers you used fitting these exact same wheels ?

Get my T25 bus back from the camper shak this saturday !!!

Thanks
Richard

Just wondering if these wheels on ebay from a T4 would / could be modified to fit my t25 lowered by 45mm at front and 50mm at the rear ??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/4-x-VW-T4-Caravelle-Transporter-15-New-Alloy-Wheels-Michelin-All-Weather-Tyres/181720355034?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&am...

Thanks guys - found a rather long! thin hole in my n/s rear wheel arch - filled it in with fiberglass padding for now until I have time to get it welded when it's not in so much use this summer! Tailgate flush + engine cover seals look to be OK. Also found another couple of holes just behind the rea...

The temp gauge is now sitting just above middle, but noticed a slight lack of power when i put my foot down, but not by much - will get it checked out thanks! buying myself a strobe gun as we speak,

Cheers

Haha I got it working :ok - I checked my cam phone pic and I inserted it 180 degrees out ... re-aligning to cylinder no. 1 still didn't work ... So I finally checked the hall connector wiring, and pulled off the original connectors rubber sleeve (since i originally wired by the order as they entered...

Have you seen the recent thread about JK selling dizzies that are 20 degrees (or similar) out on the timing ? Just found that thread = https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=133827" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and guess what it's yours :roll: :? That's wha...

Part 443 906 236 now fits a charm ... Then proceeded to align the the dizzy rotor with number 1 ht lead contact and fly wheel on tdc marker (couldn't remove spark plug to no.1 because it was too darn tight !!!! so decided just to continue) .... after a few repeated attempts engine turned very slowly...

Did anyone get to the bottom of this ?!? I get it too in my 1987 high-top water cooled 2.1 - and looking under the rear right arch last week I noticed a hole, when I look up I see the plastic vent section in the rear corner. I've also noticed a big hole in the floor behind the fridge unit - obviousl...

Thanks for your advice Syncroandy - much appreciated! The plug you recommended looks virtually identical to the one I posted & have just purchased on ebay (although part no ref is different) which arrives tomorrow. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-3-Way-Sealed-Connector-For-Use-With-Hall-Type-Dis...

And it fits, the seals the correct type also (regtangular cross section as opposed to circular) .. just had to tap home with a bit of soft wood + hammer and its alignment is spot on - sorry JK you must have sent me the wrong item!

Yes I did push it home - the outside clip engaged, but I didn't use a crimper -- noted it was very hard to push the pins down inside the unit (once crimped + wired up), used a micro screwdriver to do this by pushing down on the back on the crimped housing (which just about touches the insulated edge...

After obtaining the above from ebay and playing around, they didn't make contact - The actual connector I should have got is female one ... doh me! http://www.efihardware.com/products/349/connector-distributor-3-pin-plug" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Will let you know the ...

Thanks for the advice Steve, will do... Just order the correct one from these guys - very good and they confirmed it was out of alignment on the phone... http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Shop_by_Vehicle~Type_25_Products~T25_Electrical_Products~T25_Ignition_System~Distributors_and_Parts/025905205AF/T2...

See the difference in alignment between the new and original...

Could it potentially require a distributor for the original 1.9 engine as identified in the ebay item (especially if ignition coil is the original?!?) am stuck!
I will call Just Kampers in the morning to see what they say!
