Club 80-90 Forums

Toyo Observe Van. They're winter tires, but the only ones with deep profile and M+S that I could find from a proper brand. And as I have them on the rear only I'm not too worried about braking performance.

Just to close up this topic: In the end I decided to go for 205/80/r14s.

Definately an improvement over stock for my usecase. A bit more quiet on the motorway (still do ~83 kph gps) and slightly less revvy on roundabouts and junctions in 2nd. Thanks all for your replies.

Different sizes are possible on std rims, but it will mess with your gearing. Larger sizes probably won't combine well with lowered springs either...

Your link doesn't work for me, maybe you can upload some pictures of the piece of plastic on both taps? (Use the black "i" above the text you type)

Are they different from other hubcaps? I bought mine secondhand. Most general suppliers of T3 parts sell them as well.

I still have my original CS. Can send you some photos of the engine bay if it would help?

I'm impressed. Lots of work done on this restoration, with lovely result!

This one:

Although it's probably not there on vans with windows all around?

I had water there too. It was the air vent higher up the side, to the rear of the sliding door.

Try writing a longer post :) Maybe a small introduction ab...

I bought a generic poptop that you have to make fit to you van yourself. As the roof of a T3 is more curved than average and has some humps I needed some wedged spacers. Had a guy at my work d3 print some with uv-resistant plastic, works a treat. It consists of multiple smaller pieces that connect l...

Oh noooo!!

At least I heave really enjoyed reading about it. And learned something as well. Good luck with the sale

Is there continuity between the relay and the bulb holder? (Or voltage at the light, same)

Interesting read! I was wondering about the change in legality of running LEDs on the 1st of april 1986, as you mentioned. Is that based on a physical difference or just some weird law-thing?

37 kW (50 PS; 50 bhp) at 4,200 rpm; 100 N⋅m (74 lbf⋅ft) at 2,500 rpm — CS I've never driven a n/a diesel for more than 5 minutes so I can't really advise, the ABF is the lowest final drive, good acceleration around town, not designed for motorway work. the 1.7 had the slightly taller gearing becaus...
