Hi guys, I want to return my engine ignition system to stock as i'm running the stock carbs with a 009 dizzy at the min and i know they're pants. What bits do i need? Is it just a vac advance dizzy and the ECU box bit on the left side of the engine bay? I've still got the original ECU box fitted in ...

Hi,

Yeh sorry it is a DK box, might be interested in one of those then Billy! how much?

As i understand it, the gear linkage comes in sections. I just need the very end to the rear of the van, that attaches to the box.

Cheers!

Hi Guys, Tried removing my 4 speed gearbox at weekend but i couldn't undo the big nut that connects the gear linkage to the box so i grinded it off and so need a new bolt and the bit of linkage that is now fooked. Can't seem to find anywhere that sells any of the linkage parts, is it that hard to co...

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy a gearbox off a guy and he says the only codes he can see on it are:

wwo ks 2 and 091301211 wwo

It's advertised as a T.reg .T2..2litre and i want it for my 2.0CU engine. It's a 6 rib.

Any ideas if it's a DK/DT?

Cheers.

Well went out tonight to make a start, loosen a few bits and bobs, and a couple of hours later i had it on the floor! :P Challenge with only 1 pair of hands but was most enjoyable. Now on to the next video! Cheers Sarran, video was a great help, especially the axle stand under the gearbox, Wouldn't ...

All this fruit talk! Not 'whipped it out' yet :P The weather was not good last weekend and i don't have the luxury of a work shop! Has to happen this weekend though as it needs to be up and running again by the end of the month and i need to make a shopping list yet! Once i got the engine apart i'll...

Cheers guys, I'll whip it out at the weekend and have a look inside. Fingers crossed!

Oh. lol

So what's happened to my engine and what do I need to replace ?

Hi guys, Think one of my head gaskets gone on my 1600 a/c CT (lost compression, oil everywhere, back firing, starts but wont idle). Can anyone point me towards a new head gasket? I've looked on JK and a few other sites but can't seem to see one for my engine :? Also would like suggestions on other t...

What a coinsidence. I've just come on here to ask the same thing! I've test fitted one on the front but they arn't big enough to go over the grease cap. there's a lip round the centre that pretrudes and catches on the grease cap. This lip can be knocked out with a piece of tubing and hammer and then...

Anybody know if i can use an oil cooler from a 2.0CU on my 1.6CT engine?

Cheers

Hi guys sorry not looked at this thread for a while. Oil change is done but i'm still loosing oil, mainly from the oil cooler i've found now. Gotta sort that out before i can see about any other leaks! Think i need a new cooler now as i've tried new gaskets/seals. Is the crank oil seal a big job to ...

Ok i have replaced said gaskets but it's still leaking so gonna do the actual cooler this time. Seen one on ebay for a 2.0CU engine, will it fit my 1.6CT engine?

If someone can reply by 3 days and 14hours time, that would be appreciated

Many thanks,

Hi guys, I've tracked the cause (or 1 of the causes!) of my oil leak on my 81 1.6 CT engine. The oil cooler is spitting oil from the front (front being nearest to front of van), so i'm guessing maybe a missing sealing ring or perished gasket in there somewhere. Will hopefully be able to wip it off t...

Sorry i laways forget to put details on :roll: It's on a 1981 CT1600 engine T25. As far as i know same parts as the T2 and T1 engines in relation to the sump plate etc. The bolt in question is one of the 6(?) nuts/ bolts that hold the sump plate on. 2 of which are nuts which screw onto a stud and th...
