Hi all, Can anyone offer a serial number for gas struts replacement on an Autohomes conversion T25 Kamper Caravelle 1986 model? I have measured them as 110cm fully extended, or 66cm closed, and 10cm diameter with an eyelet attachment. I've contacted SGS Engineering who have an Autohomes gas strut in...

Hi

Yes I thought that might be the suggestion. Would you know of any mechanics in or around Worcestershire that could fix the head?

Thanks again.

HI again,
The Holts sealant hasn't worked in my case, can anyone suggest anything else that I could do? What would you do?

Thank you, on my own with this, so I would really value your knowledge and experience.

Thanks for the posts, put 250ml of Holts in yesterday, noticed a possible drip this morning. Taken it for a drive, see how it goes from here...

Hi,

Just going by advice given.

Hi all, Thank you for the replies. If I use 125ml of Holts to start with, see if there are any drips, add another half dose if needed, do you think that's worth a try? Do you think having steel seal in the system is ok? Last year I replaced coolant with G13 50/50 with deionised water, with dose of s...

Hello How is your van running following the sealant you used? Holts? Considering a sealant for leaky seals and Wynns recommended on another post. First run out yesterday and its come back dry...no reason for this though as it usually has a slow drip. Last summer I used steel seal on recommendation b...

Thank you so much for your help. I'm going to replace the cap as suggested. I think the garage my van is at has flushed out the water system to check the thermostat. I'll know for sure when I collect the van. if they have done this then I can just get a block test do you think? If the coolant is lea...

Thank you so much for your suggestions.

I will try the cap test you suggest.

I had a block test last summer, there was no sign of the gasses leaking in the water.

Is this something that should be done again?

Thanks again.

Dalek cap? Is that the cap on the main reservoir water container? I've replaced that with a new one.

Dear Forum, I would really value your advice. I have a 1986 Caravelle T25, 1.9 litre water cooled engine. In the summer 2016, on at least two occasions, I found the overflow water tank full to bursting whilst cold. This was after a journey the day before, and it sitting over night. Over the winter i...

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a garage/ mechanic that could replace both rear wheel arches and weld a small patch underneath that's within a 20 mile radius of Worcester? I have an 86 Caravelle. Thank you for your help.
