When you say degunk the exchangers, do you mean the outside of them with them in situ, or do you mean take them off and somehow clean inside ?
Thanks.

It took look underneath and there is bit of oil coming from 2, maybe 3 push rod tubes, but not all. There is oil on the heat exchangers, but not a huge amount. I assume the place it can get inside is around where the exhausts go into it, but I can only see on one of those where it is oily. It looks ...

The previous owner only had it 9 months having bought it off an old lady and then lost interest while doing up the interior. I do have a pile of history going back to about 89. Not sure if it's complete but I'll have a look through and see if the exchangers have ever been replaced. Meanwhile, it def...

Yes it's 2.0L Aircooled - updated signature now, thanks. I'm thinking a propex may be something that I would want to add at some stage anyway, but that looks like it would cost even more than new heat exchangers, so may have to wait. I view that as something of a luxury to keep toasty when camping, ...

I have some novice questions for which I cannot find direct answers.... My newly acquired bus smells of engine fumes when you turn the heater on. Is the only diagnosis failed heat exchangers ? Is the only remedy replacement of both heat exchangers ? Am I right in thinking if you get some kind of pro...

Aha. That looks like the relay I already have fitted. I wondered what the extra connector was for (it currently has nothing connected to the 5th terminal).
So I guess I would take a wire from that terminal, via an in-line fuse and the existing manual switch to the fridge ?

Many thanks for the replies. I looked on the wiki as suggested. From the info on there and by studying and testing my wiring with a meter, I think I'm now happy that it was wired up correctly, apart from the relay trigger coming from the ignition instead of the exciter wire. I found that the wire wa...

Thanks for the replies. My wagon is a 1981auto sleeper 2l Aircooled. I replaced the leisure battery fuse with a 25a one (although I might put a smaller one in as I don't know how to find out the rating of the wire). Now the lights etc work with ignition off and the leisure battery charges OK. I migh...

Hi. I am new to the forum, having finally found myself a decent (I hope) T25 after a 2 year search. It's in good condition in the important places, but will need some fettling and tweaking. This is my first post, but no doubt will be the first of many over the coming months and years. As the title s...
