Brickwerks Wheel arch protectors

Hello all,

Anyone had these fitted to a standard T25? They seem to just go on without any securing with a bit of effort? I just see minimal blistering now under the paintwork. Would seem like a good investment.

Re: Rear door/gutter leak

Mine leaks at the near side rear but often bone dry when I park with the van pointing down on a pitch even in very heavy rain. Have the rear lower, then its guaranteed to leak/drip. Assume less  overwhelming flow of water when pointing downhill. There's about an inch of the tailgate rusted away that...

Re: Garage space Edinburgh

Not sure about garage space but I might be looking for professional work done on panel and cab step rust in the new year. At least some advice, initially, on what I'm looking at. Perhaps target most important areas. Get some idea of what's possible at what cost. MK Autos, Longstone, Edinburgh 0131 4...

Re: Damaged oil seal

What you said, though about measurements/clearance/play,  this might be what comes out of discussions. They are not referenced for nothing.  These guys can tell a lot from just pictures.  I was yards away from.the garage when it dropped its oil so bad as it is, could have been worse. Only went in fo...

Re: Damaged oil seal

WBX specialists. Very familiar with the engines. It is a later engine with the two  oil pressure switches, one of which has been 'disconnected'-  the buzzer of doom. I recently had an oil pressure warning and got the oil and filter changed and the warning disappeared. Perhaps filter was a bit clogge...

Re: Damaged oil seal

Thanks for replying, Maxstu. 

I will ask about the set up. And one people look at the pictures, I hope it becomes clearer.

Re: Damaged oil seal

The engine was stripped down at specialists, a new fly wheel added along with the shims. The engine was then fitted by the garage I use.  It will likely be heat melting the shims. As the whole engine has been away and back is it too simplistic to say it just needed dropped back in the van and ancill...

Damaged oil seal

Hi All I have now suffered a major oil leak twice from the back of the engine. This has been caused by  the disintegration of shims which I can't even really visualize just now or appreciate  but might have a better idea next week when I see the engine out.  When you consider these shims are contrib...
