Sorry Rob for not adding full details! It’s a 1.6 diesel. Spoke to Doug also to Slaughterhouse. Either way it’s looking like an expensive problem and with the van requiring other work (new sliding door, couple of panels) I think the whole exercise is going to be a bit rich for me.  When I last had a...

Any reason why? These are on my possible list….

After some recommendations. I live just outside Brighton and there is no VW specialists in the area. Need to get my T25 engine replaced plus get some bodywork done - any recommendations? Thanks in advance. 

Relay replaced - fan still on. Anymore ideas anyone?
 

Yes it does. Have ordered a relay so fingers crossed!

This seems to be an annual problem for me. Have a 1.9 diesel, first run out in the sun this weekend, fan won’t go off. Changed the thermo switch, no joy. Annoyingly I have to take off the battery in order to stop the fan. Any ideas anyone?

Local garage not interested and nearest Camper specialist seems to be in Ford near Arundel which is quite a trek. Apparently there used to be one in Henfield - gone, and one in Lancing - gone! Help appreci...

Went for the camping culture ones in the end but had to modify the cabinet slightly. 

Thanks for everyone’s input. Yes it’s a side pop up. The only reason I thought is was a westfalia was because of this pic - very similar cabinets! 

Thanks for the comments. Yes - rock and roll bed. Holes behind twin cabinet? Which cabinet?!

Hi folks, trying to identify exactly which model T25 we have just brought. Got some great info from the westfaliat3 site, but still not convinced. I think is it a westfalia joker conversion. It has a 1.6 Diesel engine, but I don’t think it’s a turbo. Year of registration is 1986. Colour wise, the pa...

Thanks Tony, they look similar except on mine one of the sides is completely flat. Really struggling with finding an exact match!

I would go down the path of removing them and refurbishing, if they still open and close and come off they can be wire brushed/sanded and repainted they should come up ok, saves time and effort in looking for similar types or replacements/different fixing which would require new screw holes etc. An...

Just got a 1986 T25. Some of the hinges need replacing, but struggling to find a match. Any clues anyone? Can’t work out how to post a pic, but can email it!
