Club 80-90 Forums

Not sure about the problem that can be with the Audi. I know when I was messing about with my Diesel T4 I had a right mare with it. My wiring Harness had 9 brains when I began with and I got it down to one brain. Might be companies out there that could sort your problem out but you will have to do r...

You got any photographs of where your project is upto at the moment including the engine and mounting plate etc.

Just be interested thats all as was thinking of a different version of engine in mine?

We shall have to see, awaiting report from Mechanic on engine then I guess its just down to availability of any parts it needs. Quick fabrication of new exhaust the she is back on the road and I want to take it to a few shows to try and sell her, so will be good to meet people from Forum etc. If not...

When and where is Camperjam?

Hoping Cosworth crewcab on road soon after engine rebuild.

At the moment I do not have a DK box fitted to the crewcab. They are very strong and hence when I found one I purchased it off ebay. I had to travel a fair distance but needs must. I wanted to have a spare box incase mine went bang. I have no idea about the condition but I was going to get it rebuil...

A lot of people recommend the DK box however, others say there are better out there. DK boxes are pretty rare and if people have them are reluctant to part with them. I purchased one for my Cosworth conversion but run another recon box at present so it is sat on my shelf incase the current one goes ...

Having completed the install of a Cosworth 2.9V6 in my crewcab I can confirm that putting alternative engines in T25s is very doable, however it is as Toomany says very easy to under estimated the task. However good luck with it, there are a lot of very knowledable people on here who may help. There...

Well just as an update to the cosworth Engine problem. Engine is half stripped then due to working away mechanic has not been able to do any further work on it. However, I decided to get it round to his workshop so he could work on it there rather than mine. Engine delivered this morning to him. So ...

The adaptor plate is for the colone (SP) or Essex ford V6 engine so it is limited to those (professional plate rather than slab of steel with holes drilled in various locations) it has a machined mounting face so doubt (but not saying definatly) will only fit another motor. I know that by sticking a...

I know what you are saying Faggie, however having the cosworth power plant in it narrows the buyers down and she needs to go this summer. It is awesome with the Cosworth motor in and people who have been in it will confirm it is just rude, especially when the volume is cranked up, you can smoke it i...

Been doing a lot of soul searching over the last couple of months and have now got this idea in my head. The cosworth engine is being rebuilt. this will hopefully be completed soon, posts will follow on the rebuild, however:- I have decided she has got to go to raise some capital for another project...

What are the details of the advert, is it for the full conversion or just some parts to do the conversion. New job takes me all over the country so not done anything to the crewcab for many weeks. Had a chat with mechanic this weekend and he said if he has chance he will do some more work on it this...

The biggest problem is the availability of the parts, it appears I can get a lot of parts from Burton Power and some are still available from Frod themself, and then there is Eblag as well and my other contacts in the Cosworth world. Should be able to get it up and running soon, just can not order a...

Well leakage test has now been completed and worst case senario. Looks like it is loosing compression through rings. Can't get hold of engine builder so my mechanic is letting the sunlight into the motor next week to see why or where the problem is. Going to drop the piston and conrod out to inspect...

Here is a quick question. As you know when the crewcab is sorted again I will be putting it up for sale. I had someone who was on it for 8.5k at Tatton park but I would not sell it as it had a problem which I am currently sorting out. So the main question is should I sell it with all its spare parts...
