I think my springs were the -70mm, it doesnt look too much lower on the rear but the front is much lower as seen in the pics. The van was a panel van originally but now has a rock and roll bed but not full interior so not that heavy. I haven't changed the shocks but had no issues anyway. The handlin...

I would have thought taking a rear panel off a panel van is the way to go too as you will get a good finish probably better than if you try welding a sheet of metal in place of the window. It will look like mine when your done

Thanks Mark il give you a shout if I get stuck

Thanks mate il get to it tomorrow if the weather is any better, its been a bit rubbish for working outside

Hi, My washer jet pipe must have come off and so when I used them yesterday the driver side worked fine but the passenger side didnt work, next minute I looked down and there was flooding around the gear stick!! Is it a case of taking the dash out as Iv looked behind the front grill and there is no ...

They are wider and there is a holder/bracket the pipes go through right at the rear, I modified it by cutting it off and just securing my pipes with a homemade bracket, its easy you will see when you get to that bit

Iv filled and bled the system today and it all seems ok, went for a short run then checked the level again and it was fine but best of all NO LEAKS

Hi, iv spent nearly 6 hours replacing the rotten metal pipes for plastic ones on my van today, I read the wiki but went about it slightly different, Firstly I took the rubber hoses off each end then cut then pipes just behind the fuel tank with a hacksaw, also I cut all the ties holding the heater p...

My mate took a couple of pics of my van when I was working on it the other day, then whilst bored at work (he is a graphic designer) decided to spice up my van on photoshop. It looks quite cool but far from the real thing. Not sure about all the graphics but I think the front split windows and wing ...

I think I found mine under the passenger seat, it fits quite well in there

Hi,
Im sure the other day I read somewhere about a T25 having wing mirrors off a passat or something like that? anyone heard of or got any mirror modifications? I would have thought putting car mirrors on the van may be a touch small and not give you that good a vision

If you set up a garage, you can upload pics straight from your computer, give it a try I bet loads of folk want to see it!

Iv got replace my coolant pipes as they are corroded, iv got some original metal ones on the way, how big a job is it to replace them? does the fuel tank have to come off etc, can it be done on a set of ramps on the drive? cheers Rich ps. does anyone know the best preserve to put on my new metal pipes

Thanks very much for your help and advice, I never thought about the handbrake operation,
I need to find some alternative or an original t3 seat because my van only came with one seat!

cheers Rich
