Not much to say about the problem with your Autobox.But experience two auto boxes with leaks but managed to resolve them my self.I discovered on inquiring about a rebuild or the leaks fixed to the autos different repair estimates cost was £2000 to £700 a lot of money to for a repair.We take our vehi...

Is it possible you could do some of the work your self.If you take the head off you can send it off for reconditioning and supplied with a head gasket

Get a different garage £150 .But with a few tools locking pins easy job to do your self.

I think the roof was made by a company called Sheldon.This company made two types low line & high top.70s and to mid 90s was active in conversions for T2 & T25s.I had a baywindow T2 fitted with a low line Sheldon roof by a company called Beckenham motor caravans Nr croydon surrey.

Just kampers used to stock stainless steel front to back coolent pipes.Carnt see them listed on there site.

If its replacement two part stainless steel you can slide it above the tank to fit.The fuel tank can be removed okay as have done this several times on different T25s.There is a bit of a fiddle to get the fuel pipes & gromets to fit back on the tank.I prefer to remove the tank then inspect the t...

No that the differences between the bars sit the engine forward or back .Early or late was going to convert Aircooled over to diesel.Found out there was two types as shown in your picts .Installation choice then to fit up rear gearbox mount & engine mountings to fit one of the bars to the engine...

Can you confirm the engine code on your engine please.Actualy the price is good for the cylinder head advertised.Its a matter of getting some facts correct.

Other advice may be given. Your engine is a 1,6td isn't it? The cylinder head advertised off ebay is for a normal aspirated engine but covers different engine codes.It said JR well then this means hydraulic buckets and not shimmed adjusted as is on your engine.This will not fit to your cast iron cy...

Consider this if you spend money getting a pressure test if the head passes.Then the problem is with the cast iron block requiring a replacement engine block&parts.If the head fails a pressure test then you require a new or second hand cylinder head. Explain to where you had the head skim about ...

The head skim you had done should have included a crack or pressure test before any machining.Did you torque down the cylinder head correctly with a new gasket ensuring a good seal between the cylinder head surface and block. If the cylinder head passed a pressure test and coolent was coming out of ...

No1 cylinder clean as in your description.Looks like a case of water leakage into that cylinder where it has a scouring effect cleaning off carbon deposits.I have worked on these diesel engine T25 and about 6 head skims.The only way to ensure there are no cracks leaking gases or coolent is to get a ...

I had issues like you are discribing on a 2ltre aircool engine T25 .First inspection looked liked I had valve seat recession on one of the valves.You mentioned there was a grey metallic deposit in the oilThe 2ltre engine I had worn camshaft bearings comtaminated the oil with a grey sludge.Take any a...
