Hi, I was about to do a gearbox oil change. Took the filler plug out and then went to remove the drain plug and saw it had been welded. When I saw that I decided to stop and ask for some advice as I'm not entirely sure what's happened here and I'll need to be able to get it back in so I can use the ...

So mine is a 1984 5 speed, 2wd, and was originally diesel (now ADY). Sounds like I need to put 4 litres in there.

Where is the gearbox code? And where can I find a reference of code to capacity and fill level?

Thanks

Hi,

Going to do a gear box oil change. How much do I need? I saw 3.5L in Haynes, but see recommandations of 4, 4.5 and 5 online.

What's the fill level? Some people say 15mm below hole for 5 speed, other say until it comes out.

Thanks

Here's some photos I've taken of the mounting plate in place to help anyone else out in future. You can see here where I've ground off the original mounting lugs so the bolt heads can sit flush against the new plate. I had to open the holes on the plate up very slightly with around file to get the n...

Thanks all, I've ordered the kit from Brickwerks

Had a brake fluid leak from rear wheel cylinder so replaced it. As the fluid had gone to empty I went to bleed the clutch, nipple sheared off so I got a new slave cylinder. Tried to remove the pipe from it and it rounded. Tried to disconnect the metal pipe from the flexible pipe and the metal pipe e...

After investigating a bit more I think the best thing here is going to be to grind off what's left of the original lugs from the gear box so that the bolts only go between the brickwerks repair plate and the support plate. The brickwerks kit include ones small bolt to use as they assume that the bot...

Thanks, yes just found and ordered one https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/gear-linkage-repair-plate-kit-t3-83-case-saver/ I'm a bit confused about how to fit it though. It seems that I remove 2 of the bolts from the gearbox, put the plate in position then put the bolts back in. I assume this then leav...

Hi, I was just finishing off renewing my gearbox linkage and when I went to bomt in the support plate to the gearbox which holds the rear bush, the casting broke. The van is new to me and it seems there is previous damage here. Has anyone dealt with the problem before? I obviously don't want to have...

Doing an overhaul of the gear linkage on my T25. How do I know if the selector lever should be replaced? It's the metal cup at the gearbox end of the linkage which the plastic ball sits in. I can see how the ball will wear being plastic but I can't see the cup wearing. I did grab a replacement but n...

Yes but I won't be able to get them until Tuesday and I need to use my van. The Amazon transit ones already arrived

One of my rear studs has a messed up thread. Will these fit?

M14x1.5 is right, I'm assuming the serrated head of the stud is pretty standard and will press into the hub?

Dropped my steering column down to remove the dash, putting it back in now and insert this broken wire. There's a wire coming out of the hole in this picture, is that what is supposed to connect to the spade terminal the Brown wire is on? Anyway to get it out of the hole?

Got the job done today. It was a bit tricky getting some of the bolts to catch the thread. As I was replacing a whole drive shaft I didn't have access to both sides of each CV, only the outside, so worked the grease in as much as I could and used a full packet for each side, so hopefully it gets ful...

Hi, I've got a knocking under load from the rear right which I believe is the drive shaft on my 1984 T25. It will be my first time replacing a drive shaft. This is what I have ordered from Brickwerks to do the job CV Joint Bolt lock washer - T3 / M8 x 12 ALT Driveshaft - T3 / Rear / Late / ALTERNATI...
