That's why ideally I'd like to get my carb off to an expert, who can give it a total going over , sort of gulping at the thought of laying out £350 for a JK one :shock:

Stainless exhausts for late w/c T25's DG and DJ

Anyone have experience of either the bluebird system or the JP exhaust systems, any pics I can see? and is there any performance gain? I'm considering many options at present but want to go the ss option on the pipework

Any info gratefully accepted

I had to have two tappets replaced as they were shot, and used the telescopic tubes, admirably supplied at a good price by cool air

Isn't there a longevity issue when using 2.1 with carb rather than FI? That's what I wanted to do originally

Replacing DF engine with DG

I'm just about to get a new bus, but it has DF engine, my old one has DG

Is it easy to replace it with the DG? or any recommendations for upping the power of the DF?

Just spent a while on the roof, skylight seal gone, as I don't currently have one, I've resealed it with clear silicone. I'm foing to make a new seal and then refit it when it's a bit drier, but at least it'll stop it for now.
