Point taken, 1.6td, 1988, live in S W London..

All the fuses seem to be in the front of the vehicle, and none apply to the plugs.

My glowplugs seem to not be wired right.. I changed the gearbox and now no current seems to be passing along the glow plug wire. Plugs work because put a wire across direct from the battery and then she fired up! I can't seem to find a fuse for them, and the wire seems to go straight into one of two...

Well done for a great post. Just used it to fix a right hand arm rest. I can confirm that the screw positions are in the same places even though it is the opposite side.

Cheers

Concerning my 1.6td 1988 van: Does anyone have an exploded diagram from Bentley or similar of the gear selector lever, ball and cup, bushs, boots and bellows that they could e mail or put on the Wiki? I have looked at the wiki which is really good and pretty comprehensive, but I'm getting a little c...

Thanks for advice everyone.

A mechanic told me it could be clutch drag, but that that would mean the biting point would now hit much sooner, which it doesn't, so going to try a gear box oil change and go from there.

Hello,

Changing gear in my 1.6td van is becoming a bit clunky and awkward, especially in first 5 - 10 mins of driving. once or twice it hasn't wanted to get in 1st gear.

Does this sound like a lubricant issue, or worse?

Thanks

It's a Diesel 1.6 TD, so I guess it has the bolt for a sump.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Best oil for diesel 1.6 TD? Is it 15w40 mineral?

ok, thanks for your detailed reply!

Going to try this tomorrow...

Thanks.

Apologees for my rubbishness, but where is the oil sump on a diesel T25? Need to change the oil now...

Also, how much does a T25 need? I know I can check with the dipstick, but just to get an idea..

Thanks

1988 multivan magnum .

ok, thanks for help everyone. THink I'll go for the 75amp varta, although is a bit pricey. Need something decent though, going to run an electric drum kit on it..

I looking for a decent deep cycle leisure that fits a T25. There doesn't seem to be any that fit the tray under the seat, which can take a battery no more than 180mm high. Anyone found a good battery to fit under the seat? I'm thinking of just using a normal car battery, or maybe a starter battery.

Where, exactly, is the best/safest place on a T25 to put the axle stands, front end?

thanks

Ok, great so hopefully I'll not have to take it off completely.

Thanks folks

I've got a fuel leak somewhere when the tank(s) are filled to capacity, which I think is down to a perished seal on the top of the tank. Can anyone offer any advice about taking the tank out to fix this , other than being very careful with fuel vapour/power tools/ lighting etc? Is it a fairly straig...

Anyone know where to get a manual for an 1988 Diesel Multivan? Petrol ones seem to be widely available but not the diesel ones. Found a Bentley vanagon one for about 65 quid(?) on amazon America, but nothing else. Have tried the link for E manuals from this site but doesn't seem to load so no luck t...
