Hi, I finally bit the bullet and bought my first t25 yesterday. Love it to bits already but the inside needs a good refurb. Can anyone recommend a reliable person in the south Yorkshire area who does refurbs? I'm looking at seats being re padded, new seat cover and door panels.
any help is appreciated
cheers

I cant help you with that I am afraid.
But, get over to the general section, introduce yourself and tell us a little more about your new van. p.s. we like pictures!

Hi , I'm in South Yorks but can't really help with interior renovation.
If this is your 1st T25 one bit of advice is - if interior needs attention,then exterior will almost certainly need looking at.
Its nice to look pretty inside but don't forget the bits you don't usually see eg. engine / suspension / brakes etc

Welcome to the forum, you can do a lot yourself with the interior door cards if you can work with hardboard and lining carpet. It will also work out a lot cheaper

Hi all,
Cheers for the welcomes. I've managed to find someone. It's mainly for the front seats which are thread bare. I'll definitely give some of the work a go myself.
Has anyone had an lpg tank service done before? I'm looking at getting one done before we start using her properly. Wondered what kind of price I might be looking at.

Seconded on Campershack. Good place to start in my view.
Changed the 80% fill valve in my tank recently as it wasn't a conventional tank and only supplies my cooker/Propex so it is a vapour-only tank. The filler bayonet fitting was on the tank itself which isn't practical - now has external filler. Needed desperate dan to get old valve out but job is done now - very happy.

Cheers guys. Fountain of knowledge on here. I'll definitely try camper shack for the lpg service.
I'll try put some pictures on of camper van soon.
One last question. Anyone know a reliable mechanic in doncaster area who can do a service and give my van the once over?
Cheers
