Fan problem ?

Looking at that - it is more than 'surface rust' on the nearside sill and jacking points. Metalmick8y will doubtlessly see far more than me.

I have just opened up one of those emerald green painted wbx recons for a re-seal. Never seen so much clear bathroom sealant in an engine...

What ?

[Jimmy68]

[Jimmy68]

Well i bought it so hopefully its not a nightmare introduction to the world of t25s

Would still like honest opinions on it if any

So you actually bought it before reading the wicki and asking for advice ? Why do people do that? Over excitement I guess. By the way the so called 'surface rust' usually comes through the metal from behind on the bodywork. Ah well, good luck.

This is surface rust? I foresee a can of rust worms being found.

Over excitement ? I bought it because all others i have seen are more expensive and most have some rust which is expected really, i pick it up tomorrow, i read through the wiki on this forum and by advice on here and from people i know it looks a good buy, i dont expect to get one in showroom cond at that price,

If sills are badcan they be fixed, i know plenty welders, but if its serious then GULP

It will be behind the sills also, B post, C post and jacking points are usually shot if the sill is that bad.
Look at Metalmick8y's posts detailing the work involved. This will give an idea https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... t&start=30

[Jimmy68]

How do i tell if all those parts are gone ?

Micky uses a shuftiscope to look inside, just have a really close look and poke hard!

You won't untill they open it up..or use a scope.
Then if the repairers are good they will cut deeper, and replace with good steel.
If they are bad, then you'll be doing it all again in a year or two.

That's when you need to assume the position.

Its lived by the sea. Check for rot.

Sorry didn't see you had bought it, last few posts didn't show up before I posted.

Have some fun in it first summers on its way, always sort the rust/rot in winter when not using it as much.
