Oh...dear...oh dear...oh dear.... :( Brake nipple snapped off (front disc, right side), totally and completly flush with the caliper :evil: I was suspicious of it....and hoped it would be ok...but nope...crumbled up into bits! Got most of the nipple out and there is some thread left in the caliper, ...

Right....sorted. I now will admit to showing my ignorance... But just in case this is of use to others, the problem was an ignition lead. On testing, one read poorly. Replacing that has solved the problem and had I the sense to work through this first then I wouldnt have needed to write this thread....

Hello all, I am somewhat stuck again! I was hoping to now be writing a jolly post and say, yippeee....I am on board with you all. However, STILL struggling to get my van going properly. What is now odd is that I got back on Saturday having driven 1200 miles from Sussex, to Wales, and around Wales an...

Thanks Bigherb, I hadnt spotted those. They look just what I am looking for. (Might need to get a Tesco clubcard too while I am at it) Much appreciated :D I see the description reads.. ......It has a reinforced carcass construction to enable the carrying of heavy loads, as well as a very robust rubb...

Hi all, I have only ever brought cheap or secondhand tyres, but van has been standing for three years and whilst it did get through MOT, I feel its time to reward it with four new tyres (the MOT man said the same too...and noted it as an "advisory" !). Options via local suppliers and via B...

FINALLY !!!!!!!!! Back on the road. Its been a slog, although mainly a lack of time, money, etc, etc, the same old story. However, it all came together yesterday and I took the plunge. Insured it and booked it for an MOT. It passed! (a good list of advisories to work through, but I can sort those ou...

Thanks to you both for the above.

Yes - Sliding door! Hadn't thought of that, great to have had the problem solved for me before I had even realised I had a problem...thanks very much for that one!

Great....I will get on with it then

Anyone any thoughts or experience with the central locking and immobiliser kits that are around.

Just wondering if they fit a T25 OK?

This kind of thing.......

Thanks for that, Problem is taking it for a run pre-MOT....so guess lots of revving on driveway and book an MOT in Scotland or something :lol: Full service is next....I am really excited by this, I have owned the van for 18 years....and forgotten just how great they are....so time to really give it ...

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE Got a new starter motor, and its on and.....it fired up straight off! The van runs at last :D The hydraulic tappets are making horrid noise, but guess they will quieten down a bit soon! Got insurance quote too that was bearable and so a few days sorting out some bits and may brave an ...

Hello All, Despite being given a shiny new membership number earlier....and of course inspired by this...I tried again to get my van to start! I followed the stuff on the other thread....and put a new thick braided wire to the solenoid. NOW....when I turn the key....I FINALLY get a "clicking&qu...

OK - Thank you for saving me that hassle itchyfeet....I wont do that then! But I hadn't found that youtube clip...so will go down that line thank you also to CovKid for that. (Incidentally I did try a battery swap with a known good battery from another vehicle last night and still nothing, so pursui...

Also - did you test for ground continuity? Also #2 - if you are feeling brave you can use a jumper lead as a temp connection between the battery and the starter motor (to replace the thick cable) - this would rule out a bad starter cable/connection. But be really careful setting it up cos the oppor...

Thanks folks.....some good tips there.....but..... This afternoon I checked the wiring. With the battery connected I can light a test lamp by connecting the big thick wire from the starer and earth to engine block. Also when connecting to the wire for the solenoid -that too illuminated when key is t...

I wasnt sure about my wobbly shaft! So will get cleaning up and testing!

Thanks for this.
