I have gone off the idea after looking for parts availability online. No camshafts available, no std pistons and liners to be seen, etc, etc.  No, don't. We want an engine rebuild to umm and ahh over. You will be impressed with a 2.1. Even running on a carb. Presently, l have a DJ2.1 and a DG1.9 LP...

It's worth noting that youll be throwing a fair bit of money at a ground up build. If the heads are OK then you're gonna save about £800 or so, but you'd be best to check valves and guides on the current heads.. I think my build came in just under 3k... and that was without heads. For the money I c...

So realistically what is a 2.1 DJ with 150k miles an apparenty was seen running and in need of a full rebuild really worth? https://i.imgur.com/frK1pST.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9uUtsWu.jpeg Not exactly well loved, is it? First check it is actually a DJ by asking for a photo of engine number. Any si...

A few enlightened don't even both with an oil cooler when converting..
This is my next project. I have a rough DJ engine sitting under cover at the mo; and l have a 1987 auto DG LPG begging for more ponies.

What? Me?.
Driving to you as l type. Helpful youngster!

Davidloft and a few articles on The Samba assure me it is achievable without removing dash.
Stay tuned for pictorial outcome.

Thanks, Steve! :ok Really, REALLY do not want to take out dash! First time l cracked the windscreen trying to release dash screws on top! The second time, for changing a seized fan, l cracked up. On refitting, l was looking for the aerial plug to reinsert into radio. Where the k'hell has it gone? Th...

Is it possible without removing dash in an automatic T25?
Haynes manual reads dash removal, master brake cylinder and servo out.
BUT this is for gear lever manual version. My Haynes manual makes no mention of auto tranmission version?

Answering my own question, after more internet browsing, apparently this is a pressure relief valve and is working as it should. Recently l filled up with LPG five miles away from home. This is to stop excess pressure in the leisure tank if ambient air temps increases and expands the gas. Will monit...

Not from bolt but coming from behind this plastic stopper.
What is behind it?

Seized fan. Have you tried cold air setting?
And yes, excellent customer service from Propex.

Thanks for all the advice. Decided to extend the lighting circuit from lobby ceiling light. Fortune was on my side.... I cut out a small segment of coving in the corner of the lobby near front door. At this point l drilled a hole into loft space. Here l noticed an obsolete two core wire and recalled...

Okay and thanks to both. Yes the two reds go into a round metal conduit heading towards floorboards. Then one red appears at the connector above lighting in lobby. So comms reds continously stays live to switch. Then flicking switch connects live circuit to ceiling bulb. Might take a floorboard up. ...

Okay and thanks. From my online researching 1960's wiring normally consists of red live and black neutral. Yet, there are a few other light switches around our bungalow running red and red. The porch wall is poorly accessible from loft to run a new live from lighting circuit, so may as well go batte...

Is there any way l can use this internal light switch wiring in lobby, by front door, to run an extended spur, chased into wall, for an exterior twin blue/brown cable working (tested) porch light found in a bag in loft? I was thinking of using another switch incorporating a 5 amp fuse either at this...
