Even at 30mph it sounds so revvy!

Sigh.. I see they fetch a premium £300 plus
Plus new clutch (be silly not too)
Any other bits I find broken

Really beginning to hate t25's

That's because it's one of the strongest transmissions, handles lots of BHP with the tallest ratios, all the tuning boys want them.

It's not the vans fault the previous owner/s was a knob.

It's not just that, it's that all the parts for it are so crazy expensive!

I going to start collecting bits and go diesel. I'm not selling it and I'm not keeping the petrol. Even with the correct gearbox it will make the smallest of differences. 3200 rpm at 60 mph for the dk and 3700 at 60 for the DH. Not worth the money really
I could buy a donor 1.9tdi audi for that much
