Re: 1989 - 2.1 petrol panel van - Overheating without heating!
Maybe committing to the Brickwerks one is best then in the long run! Would it be worth testing the current radiator to ensure that's the issue before replacing completely or do all signs lead to that almost certainly being the problem? Cheers! Brickwerks - absolutely :D Great service & knowledg...

Re: Mud flaps
Got mudflaps fitted (the jk ones - it's from a time before I knew about brickwerks, but they work very well & keeps crud away from behind the wheel arches which has to be a good thing). The South African JK ones are better they actually protect your bodywork from gravel rash on the wheel arch e...

Re: Value of an engine?
A 2.1 petrol engine is always desirable (as parts are getting harder to get hold of for them), and a power upgrade for 1.9 petrol vans.
Has she said why it was taken off the road - mechanical or body issues ?
Hard to value as condition is everything, depends if its savable as a van or breaker ?

Re: New to the Club - any help welcome!
Welcome - you've found the best place to find advice (& sanity saving) - and found the holy grail supplier brickwerks (rather than find some of the lesser suppliers & then finding the light). This is an extra part to the fantastic brickwerks fuel kit, & highly recommended (currently not ...

Re: Converting early T25 fuel tank to late
email brickwerks & they can put all the parts together for you - I would advise replacing all the seals etc around the filler cap as well (as they are likely to be totally shot by now) - have a look on the brickwerks website & they have loads of helpful advice on each part number.

Brickwerks do the seal etc it all as well - the converted know best
