Thanks for the responses guys, i called elite and the £680 does include fitting if you take the van to them, i pretty much figured that it wouldn't include an exhaust but i will ask about the water pump / carb etc To be fair they did say that there was a 2-3 week wait for any work to be done, and i ...

Hi, Sadly it looks as though we may have to bite the bullet and get a replacement engine in our van, I have seen the accolades for Elite VW (Essex) but I have also been having a look around online at dubdoctors etc, if anyone can recommend a local garage (Somerset / Dorset / Taunton) that can fit a ...

As always Bob, thanks for the information, Its off to the garage again tomorrow for them to have a look Been through varying emotions about if i have bought a duffer etc, but then i have a think about it for half an hour and say 'nah' its an adventure Glass is half full (will the bank account be hal...

Wanted to tag this on the end of the thread as it's a continuing saga, apologies to the moderators if this should be in a separate thread :oops: Got the Van back from the garage, they changed the thermostat on the engine, changed the rad fan switch and traced a faulty wire to the back of the fuse bo...

Cheers for that, sadly the van is at the garage in yeovil (John cornick motors) with another issue at the moment, but i will certainly make a note of this one

Sounds like a all too familiar story, please look at the recent threads including http://archive.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21836 despite my new coolant tank, with cap and new thermostat (all bought from Just Kampers ), I still have the same issue Van is now at the garage......I await the post m...

Mine is fitted on the drivers side front pillar, Hope that helps!

Hi, Sounds very similar to a problem that i am having, bought the van and drove fine from north yorkshire to somerset, then a very similar problem a couple of weeks later , please see the following thread http://archive.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21836 despite my new coolant tank, with cap and n...

Thanks for that, I had read that on the forums after I had bought the anti corrosion fluid, as I can't be certain how much coolant I have lost I am going to raise the front and bleed the system then maybe use a hydro meter to check the mix

Thank you both for the replies, I was hoping to rule out the cap as I got a new one of those as well! Sorry if I wasn't clear about the expansion tank (behind the number plate) it has been dry since I have had the van and I only topped it up yesterday, the header tank has always had water in it and ...

Hi, I have a 1988 'E' plate auto sleeper high top 1.9 petrol water cooled engine I have had the van a couple of months and bought it from Yorkshire to Somerset with no issues, been on a couple of runs out and everything seemed fine, HOWEVER! Last week we were queuing to get into the Glastonbury fest...

We had a similar issue with our recently purchased van, it came with the thermo mats from Just Kampers, these fit very well and do black out the majority of light, however they can take a bit of levering off the glass (rubber sucker fittings, several per mat). We hunted round local shops and on eBay...

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before, I have searched the forums on JK and here but couldn't find anything related I have a 1988 t25 Auto sleeper high top, only had it for a month and am very happy with it.......except the dash lights and the cigarette lighter don't work (Purchased like this)...
