Thanks for your replies :) I made an error Robsey, I meant to type fuel filter but put pump instead! Aidan I will try that but I’m no mechanic, tho to be fair the guys who have looked at it don’t appear to have been methodical at all. I’m hoping a friend who is very good with these but lives the oth...

I bought my van last December, a Westie T3 multivan. 2.1 inj automatic. I liked the van with a lift up medium top and had had a 2.1 inj as my first van. I bought it a bit swiftly tbh. On the test drive it started coughing up a hill and the guy said it was low on petrol, fortunately we were near a pe...

Hello, I have a 1982 camper and the mechanic has replaced 2 long heater cables but has said that there are 3 shorter ones that are knackered. I have looked on the internet at spares sites but can only find the 2 long cables. Does any one know what the ones I need are please and/or where i could find...

Does any one know the height of the roof when raised to the van roof please? (roughly) I have just bought some new struts based on the length of the old ones, the new ones are an inch or so longer, and when we manually lifted the roof it was still a few inches of putting the strut into place and the...

Nice one PBY :D Be interesting to keep up with how its all going. Also combining it with work etc - where to store clothes etc - do you have to dress differently for work than normal? Adrianc - Where abouts are you, not in the UK? We lived in our T4 westie for 6 months, from Oct to April, when we 1s...

Blimey - nice one, that is a quick work :D Was the paint difficult to get off? Is that a Viking roof? Is it hard to do the sills? Mine is in body shop at moment and has rooted through completely in front of rear wheel where there eas a rats nest in the panel and the wee has gone through the metal. T...

Hello :D I am having some work done on my van and there is a hole in a rear trailing arm. At present the body work man is welding it but I have just read a thread where it says they wont pass MOT if welded. Does any one know if this is correct please? At the moment I am in Spain but am looking to re...

Hello :D I am just getting my van re-sprayed and the label under the seat says Liana Green - LH6A and Siama Green LH6B. I have found photos of Liana green and know that that is the bright green colour that most of the van is painted in but am unsure what colour Siama green is? Our van has been stood...

Thats looks very nice indeed

Thanks for all your responses :D yesterday we managed to hold it higher and wedge it with a bigger piece of wood but it still wont stay up - at least it didnt fall over the other side tho! I got a photo of the existing struts but they are so old and manky i cant find any pressure capability info. I ...

Thanks Dave Friday,

I may take you up on that offer. I will have to come in the T4 tho as the T25 doesnt appear able to move! Also its not road legal so even if it did move I wouldnt risk taking it out.

Thanks H M

We are going to try and push the roof higher but have been a bit scared to at the moment but it looks like it should have 4 struts so I am oing to try and research that further

thanks again for your reply

Hello All, :D I have done a search but cant find same problem so sorry if this has been answered before. I have recently bought a T25 camper conversion but the roof will not stay up and weighs a ton to lift, we are scared to push it too high incase it goes too far (the plates and hinges are a bit ru...
