Hi All! Thanks for all the advice, and sorry for the late update to the thread, but I haven't have a decent wifi connection in more than a week...because we've been travelling!! We took the van to Karvans, a great T25 place near Seville, and it's been running perfectly ever since. They changed the s...

When hot this earth contact could break down giving trouble on whichever fuel you're running on at the time.

Advice will be relayed to a mechanic, we currently have a very nice mechanic but he's not a VW man, just general, hoping to get it to a VW mechanic but they say they're very busy right now...

The only thing that makes me think it may be the same persisting problem is that it's kind of the same symptom every time it stops...it runs fine for a while, then out of nowhere just starts slowing a...

Hi All! Myself and my girlfriend bought our '89 T25 July last year in Corwall. We had an LPG conversion done in Devon, and after working hard all summer we took a few months off to travel from the start of this year. At Chirstmas we took the van to yorkshire and then back to east sussex, before leav...
