Re: Push rod oil leak

Thanks both for the info so far I went and collected my van from the garage this morning and left 40 quid lighter for having sweet FA work done. I told the mechanic that a little bird told me the change could be done with the engine insitu. He altered his story saying the push rod tube seals could b...

Re: Push rod oil leak

100% sure i have a 2.0ltr

Just to clarify, are you saying the push rods can be changed without dropping the engine on the 2.0ltr?

Re: Push rod oil leak

Thanks bigherb If replacing the push rods means engine out, its not something I can consider at the moment. If I'm taking the rocker cover and shafts off to get at the seals is it worth putting the adjustable rods in at the same time? Surely adjustable rods cant be worse than leaky non-adjustable ro...

Whats in your tool kit?

Hey Everyone I only became a T25 owner this summer. I'm on my second vehicle now (the first was written on by a careless HGV driver after just 10 days! My insurance valuation hadn't even kicked in so its still a sore point) Anyway I'm quickly becoming acquainted with the continual repair way of life...

I'm another who would happily attend a day/weekend masterclass.

Push rod oil leak

Hey peeps I have a slow oil leak in my van (2.0l air cooled). I know this is is part and parcel of having an old vehicle and have no problem keeping an eye on the oil levels. However, the smell is a little obnoxious. I'm pretty used to it but any guests on road trips always end up commenting! I took...

Re: How do you cover your front windows?

@Miss Syd - no metal poppers but nothing to stop me adding some. I've seen the foil and cup sections used in other motorhomes too. Looks good. @Dazco - lucky you! mines not installed but i've learned from google that the tracking is easy enough to buy @300CE - that screen looks ideal. I'd be concern...

How do you cover your front windows?

Just got my T25 t'other day. Its been pretty heavily stripped including all the curtains. I fear sleeping at the services last night on the journey back home was quite an exhibition for some other drivers! I can see the rails for curtains in the rear are still intact which is good. I'll just need to...
