Thats a shame, I just sold my single cab with a none running 1.6Tdi in. I gave in trying to get my head around puny power, never giving a volvo a second thought.

Any news on the Shrops Doka, all the snow is making me restless.

Has the Volvo engined DOKA in Shropshire sold.
I would like a look over it if its still for sale.
Any photos?

Whats the history of Volvo engined Syncos- were they special to Sweden or could any country get one?

been offered a starter from a 1.9 tdi, does any one know if this will fit the 1.6td ?

Ooooo... my fault....yes it is a 1.6 td... sorry should have mentioned thar. thanks Jim

Thanks for that, I worry since that chap derailled the train near Leeds whilst towing a loaded car trailer, he wasn't overloaded just tired, but it helps to know whats what legally.
Thanks again jim

Considering both petrol an diesel options, I was wondering what were the most straight forward of all the many engine conversions available with a T25? Are there any simple 'bolt in options'? I was intrigued to see on CJ's stand at vanfest a Syncro fire vehicle fitted with a Volvo 2.3? Thanks in ant...

Could anyone tell me towing weights of a type 25, although I have a single cab 1.6TD 2wd at the moment (without a towbar), I fantasise about a syncro and keep wondering how usful it could make itself.
Thanks in anticipation

Thank you for your replies. The truck came without a starter, I was rescuing from the ignomy of being a scrapper, it was too nice and solid to let go- I am just a big softee for unwanted old cars! I am based in Hereford if any one has a secondhand one they would sell please let me know. Again thanks...

I have just bought 1989 1600 Td single cab which came without a starter motor. Are there any cheap starter motor options available- a golf starter motor or a petrol model one perhaps- a new diesel one is £140+ and I don't want to spend loads of dough before I hear the truck running.
Thanks Jim
