OK so I have another T25 and this one is a 1900 with Peirburg 2E carb. Basically the choke is fooked. Has anyone tried rigging up a manual choke and if so got any tips? :roll: OR can anyone point me in the direction of where I can buy an off the shelf manual conversion or has anyone got a working ch...

Cheers peeps. I am even amazed myself when I look back at this topic. Over the last 4 years it does not seem so bad and I guess, for me, its a past time doing the repairs. I am fortunate that my van is a second (3rd) vehicle so that takes the pressure off a bit. People ask me why I want an old van (...

To Cyrus, I guess anywhere can be dangerous mate, you just need to watch your back. People go on travels and think they are in a little security bubble sometimes? I feel more threatened in a large city than the great outdoors but thats not to say it does not have its own dangers.

Thanks Peeps. It was a quick trip. I suppose we are quite lucky as we are only roughly 4 hours from the Spanish border. The Pyrenees are stunning on either the French or Spanish side but of course Spain feels a little more adveturous somehow?

So, I have been repairing the old steel shroud, not pretty but it works until a better replacement turns up. It was so rotten that it partially collapsed and stopped the fan from turning! :shock: http://s17.postimg.org/66tmb917j/van_radiator_013.jpg heberger une image http://s21.postimg.org/pf4ru83i...

Anyway back to the plot. I sourced a good second hand rad. I also cleaned up some dodgy looking brake pipes that sit right up behind the rad, I am glad I did because they started leaking! I say glad I did because best to find out now and NOT whilst driving down a mountain pass high up in the Pyrenee...

Good to see you working on the van. Send some of that sun to Normandy, I need to blead the brakes on my Morris Traveller. Regards, Kenny. Its been a very hot week or more here in SW France but today was rain and wind more like winter! ......... How can it go from 35c to 12 in the blink of an eye???...

They are BBS style alloys. I am not a particular fan but I do like the way the van sits on them

Now found the soddin' radiators leaking so had to remove it, unfortunately after sitting nice a snug in the same place since 1986 the rad would not come out without a fight. Three hours later and phew its out and I am a happy chappy. http://s17.postimg.org/m9pi9wna7/ratiator_removal_007.jpg téléchar...

I spent the odd day or three over the winter (brrh!) on the eternally creeping rust and it was covered in a layer of thick dust and cats footprints (the little swine) so I gave the old bus a 20 minute blast with my Karcher. http://s18.postimg.org/s7ybb37ft/karcher_van_003.jpg télécharger des photos
