Hi All,
Just had our first run to the coast in our "new" T25 and what a great day we've had

A couple of issues arose during the day!! I filled the water tank up this morning so we had some water on board to boil etc but as soon as i did found the floor flooding!! I found that the small double sided "in" "out" cream coloured filter connecting the water tubes from the tank to the tap had basically perished.. so my question is.. where can i get a new one from???? any tips would be greatly received..

The second and more worrying thing was that once we'd reached our destination and stopped her.. water came pumping out of the radiator.... as if she'd overheated, but the temp gauge didn't show any problems and as soon as she cooled down she was fine.. we drove her home no problem... and as soon as we parked up outside the same problem!! water gushing out for a few minutes then stops!! any ideas???

Apart from that we had a wonderful maiden voyage in our T25... here's to many more!

Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Can't work out if you mean that you have an inline filter or non-return valve - photo would help.
If filter like this - available with 12mm and 15mm inlet/outlet.

You shouldn't have water coming from the radiator at all - it will help if you say which engine you have.

thanks for the reply!! having a bit or trouble attaching a photo.. hmm hpe it works!!

we've got a 1.9 petrol water cooled engine... the water was a bit green (coolant??) and coming from underneath!!! as you can tell i'm not that mechanically minded

thanks for your help!

That's a non return valve. Any caravan accessory shop should have one. A more modern type like this.
As to the water leak - you will have to try to see where it is coming from more exactly before anyone can help. (I am a diesel guy and stopped with petrol VW vans around 1974!)

Brilliant! thanks for your help.... we're learning as we go here!!

next tmie it happens i'll make sure i trace the source
