Hi Guys Now the weather is closing in I want to look at getting some kind of battery maintenance charger that I can plug in and forget about over the winter to keep the batteries in good order. Can this be done with batteries left in bus or should I remove them. Bus is a 81 Aircooled t25 Westy Cheer...

Cheers for replies, I did whack it as I thought it may be jammed, no luck, looks like a new one then...

Hi Guys MOT due and washer not working, Had a look at it and had someone operate the switch while I held pump motor in hand. I can feel a clicking going on inside and it starts to get very warm so this suggests power is getting to it. Do you think the pump is dead? Shall I swap it for a new one? Any...

Hi faggie

was not too bad really like I say worst bit was the rusty screws, exhaust back on now and sounds really good, so should drive much better with new mounts and exhaust, thanks for the chat on phone!!

Hi All

Engine mounts done, bigger job than I expected with all the rusty snapping tinware etc.
Did fan belt too and replaced heat exchangers, just need some tinware from somewhere to go under heat exchangers as old ones rusted out, any one know where
I can get some for Aircooled 2ltr?

Cheers J

Hi Guys So I was changing the heat exchangers today and was going ok until I got to the engine mounts all 4 were separated by a split in the rubber. I have replacements and have removed the engine bearer but still cant get at the top nuts to get the old mounts out. I read somewhere that I may need t...

Hi All I have had the AA out today as I am not getting fuel delivered to carbs on my CU 2ltr Air cooled. I have replaced fuel pipes and filter but no luck. Fuel pump has been off and tested by hand with a line into a jar of fuel and works great. Ali I can think is that the push rod inside fuel pump ...

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried this once I will give it another try soon as I can.
Is it a big job to remove fuel pump? what else do I need to remove?

Regards Jay

Hi All Guess this is the common problem I am guilty of, not starting my bus regularly over the winter. Tried to get my Air cooled CU engine running, turns over and have a good spark, fuel is the problem. I have changed the filter by the tank, (is there another anywhere) but not getting fuel into car...

Glad you got it fixed, I spent today replacing scarily rotten rubber breather pipes on top of the tank and under expansion tanks. I had an incident where the fuel started pissin out big time when I filled the tank right up, which led me to investigate the leak. Really corroded old rubber pipes with ...

Thanks' Guys

Sounds like it should be fairly doable, will I need to take exhaust off?

Cheers Jay

Hi guys

I have a air cooled westy and need to replace the engine mounts.

Can this be done without taking engine out?

Can any one help with a procedure and let me know any pit falls to avoid.

Cheers Jay

Cheers Guys.

Good news.

So I do not need to remove anything else but the wheels to get at the ball joints then?

I thought maybe I had to take a lot of other parts off too.
When I fit the replacements do they just tighten into place or do I need to press them in?

Thanks for you advice.

Cheers Jay

:D Hi Guys I was off to get the tracking done on my T25 Aircooled Westy, but I noticed that both upper ball joints are shot. So I need to get these changed before the tracking is done. Can any one tell me the procedure and tools I will need? Is this an easy job or would I be better getting a garage ...
