Re: Where to mount an eber in an Aircooled

I have a 2.0 CU Aircooled Autohomes camper that had a Remotron gas-powered heater in the massive space behind the 'radiator' grille. So when I yanked that heater out, that's where I mounted the Chinese knock-off Eberspacher diesel heater. I have mounted a small (2.5l) fuel tank behind the grille al...

Re: Chinese diesel heater

I've finished installing one of these today on my 1981 air-cooled camper. It had a 'Remotron' unit (seems to be made by Volvo way back when) installed in the space behind the radiator grille, with a feed from the gas via a manifold under the sink. This didn't not want to work, is well rusty, and is ...

VR6 into T25?

Hi all I searched this forum for VR6 but no results returned. I wondered if anyone had performed this swap, with what outcome? I have access to two good VR6 engines, and I have a petrol auto 86 Caravelle. I see that KEP supply the appropriate adapters and some other bits and bobs. Any info appreciat...

Re: Lowering Springs

Mine's an '86 Caravelle, definitely no lowering there, you could get your head between the wheel arch and the top of the wheel. Not a good idea though.

Oh no! Another coolant hose requirement

Hi Mine's a 1900cc WBX of B-reg vintage, not sure whether it's a DF or DG engine though A hose joins the right side of the carb [looks like to the auto-choke temp sensor] down to the firewall-side of the inlet manifold. But it does so via 3 bends. Problem is, the carb end is smaller diameter than th...

Carputer thread - less interest than I would have thought?

Hi all - this is my first post so be kind... My T25 is one of my hobbies, the others are either petrol-burning or gadget-based, and where possible, both... I mess about with PCs a fair bit, so putting a PC into my 1985 'Bus' wasserboxer (details below) seemed like natural progression. In many modern...
