Thanks Gary, hadn't considered that so will look into it.

Just had a look at website, will give him a call

Hi all Had my van for around 10 years now, originally a German ambulance, but a polish fishmongers van when I picked it up. It's due some much needed tlc both inside and out, therefore I'm looking to get it done this winter. It'll need a number of panels replacing plus re spray, etc - does anyone ha...

That's brill, many thanks Elvis. Now off to post comment on wanted!

Hi all I have a 1.9 TDI stuck in in place of the old 1.6 Jx - engine refit was done in Poland around 6 years ago, and a fair bit of detail of what was done was lost in translation! Need a new starter motor, therefore question is does anyone know if the starter motor should be the same as the one off...

Thanks Aidan - therefore if it's a petrol gearbox on a diesel engine, does this mean it should be nose down?

Sorry wasn't clear in my post - the guy ended up sending it off for recon as did not have relevant tools etc....he got it back this week and on fitting it has noticed its not level under the van. It doesn't have an oil leak, but as its not level he's worried that all the oil is down the clutch end, ...

Ah no can do as still with mechanic - will see if he can send me some

Hi all Gearbox went on me back in June - took it to a local guy in West Wales who has been doing all he can to get it sorted - has now had a full recon and the guy has been refitting it this week. Problem is that on refitting he says the gearbox is not level - meaning that when he's filled it with t...

Ok fair enough - will let him know. Many thanks for your help

Hi Aidan Many thanks for reply - in the end I found a guy down the road who was willing to do a rebuild on it, as was having trouble finding a similar box. He hasn't done a T25 box before but has done others and seemed to know his stuff. He gets started on it next week. I directed him towards the ca...

So - the ABR has following ratios - 1st 4,11/2nd 2,3/3rd 1,476/4th 1,023/5th 0,816 with a final drive of 5.5 First and second are the slightly higher ratio than the current ABB, 3rd is way higher and 4th is lower than 3rd, but 5th is a lower ratio than 4th on the ABB - final drive is 5.5 on the ABR,...

Sorry to be thick, but what should the final drive be for a TDi? They all seem to around the 4.87 mark

I'm sure I read somewhere that a TDi needs a lower ratio than regular TD - but don't know if this is the case or is true for TDi's with mechanical injectors fitted?

Ahhh and the other thing I need to mention is its a LHD - does that effect the type of gearbox I need - or are they universal?

Ok, have now found 4 speed gearbox in East Midlands - from guy called Peter at T25 East Midlands (I guess this guy must me familiar with this forum as he specialises in T25's?) Prob is that he doesn't have engine code as its worn off, though said it is def a 4 speed from a TD and in working order So...
