A tiny error in judgement has resulted in a rather impressive hole on the rear wing (passenger side / sliding door). http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/23/5edy9ysa.jpg So a question: fixable with filler, or replace the whole panel? Oh and the gate post will die at the hands of an angle grinder at the w...

Ooooh and could I be clever and wire it in such a way that it went thru my split relay (on tag 86) so that it could charge both the crank and leisure battery as required?

Or would that result in a fiery death?

Cool thanks, would something like this fit the bill ...?

Holy Thread Resurrection Batman!!!

I have that same 'autosleeper control panel' in my van.

Can it be used / rewired to charge my crank & leisure batteries when I'm on mains hook up? Or is it only zigs that do that?

And I get to keep my old engine for spares / breaking / fixing as a project.

Sweet

Doh missed that post. In the mean time I'm sorted now by 'VWMagicBus' on eBay. £650 with all ancillaries and ready to drop in.

If you need one they've got a couple more, plus lots of other T25 stuff.

Lucky in that I've found recon engines that will part x for mine.

Unlucky that they will cost £1100 plus fitting.


Unless I just get one from eBay / scrap yard, but I don't won't to do that cos I need (some) reliability

Yaaaaay!! Just had a call from the Garage and it seems that our engine isn't economically viable to repair, and that we should get a new one.

a***!!!

I had the buzzer of doom this morning. 'Oh no' I thought, 'the oil pressure switch must be faulty, it won't be the engine'. But I pulled over anyway. Engine cut out as soon as I put it into neutral, and then wouldn't restart. Actually it wouldn't even turn over on the starter and it smelt really bad...

So my passenger door handle has broken, the little lever inside has snapped. Not a problem really as I bought a new one at Dubfreeze to replace it. But then ... Today my driver side door handle started sticking, the lever stuck in the pulled position with meant I couldn't unlock the door. So, I'll p...

A week or so later and all is good in the hood. Thanks y'all

It's a single piston Girling type btw if that helps with the diagnosis at all

Lol cool, will do. Btw I realise now my question above was a newbie 'how long is a piece of string / crystal ball' -er.

Ok that sounds potentially expensive. If the piston is rusty is it fair to assume that all 4 are rusty along with the pipe work?

Had the calliper off today. Brake pads and disk look fine, hardly any wear at all. But the outside surface of the calliper piston was showing surface rust.

I guess I'll be needing a new one then!
