Rover 75 leather seats

Has anyone ever fitted these to a t25? I ask because I had an R75 a while back and despite all it's flaws it had the most comfortable seats I'd sat in for years. Can be picked up for pennies so worth a look, my oe runners were hacked out before I got the van and I've no swivels, so a simple bolt-in ...

Re: 2.1 vs EJ?

Would anyone have a 2.1 to throw into the ring? I could build you one, either fully reconditioned or good unit rebuilt/repaired, or if you wanted to do it yourself I can put together a kit - I have new and used cranks, DJ and MV pistons, new rings, and can supply new camshaft. (Almost) everything e...

Re: 2.1 vs EJ?

^^ What he said ;-) TBH when I bought my van after a couple of years with a T4 Holdsworth I wanted to go the full euro look with it, but it dawned on me a Holdsworth roof sort of ages the van too much so I went down the retro style (swapped out big bumpers, square lights et al). Therefore a wbx seem...

2.1 vs EJ?

Sorry chaps this must be a time worn question, I've already mentioned on here I have been offered a 2.0EJ from a buggy so pre-fitted to a dub and just need the exhaust, manifolds etc (he's going 2.5 so not everything available). I also mentioned and have disregarded a possible 20v NA engine. However...

Re: Passat 20v NA or Subaru 2.0EJ?

Thank you guys for your replies. I did perceive the engine might have to go upright and clearly that will affect my bedding situation. It's a sweet engine that's only done a few miles in the 9 years he's had the car, it would have been a cheap engine but I would guess sourcing the diesel bell housin...

Passat 20v NA or Subaru 2.0EJ?

I've been put first in the queue for a pretty much plug&play EJ from a friend's buggy, 'just' need the Adaptor plates, manifolds, exhaust etc. Known engine in good order. Loom already modded and waterproofed. But my father in law is about to hang up his keys to a 1998 Passat 20v non turbo. Is it...

Re: How to remove pop top

I've got the same roof (Holdsworth Villa 3) and I once had an Autohomes Kamper pop top. The Autohomes had piano hinges which needed to be removed after the rams as the rams could buckle the structure. Looking at my Villa the sides are attached to the lower section and I would deduce the rams are all...

Bumper mountings

I'm changing my 1990 from big bumper to metal. My Haynes manual doesn't cover big bumpers, do I need to source hangers etc? I'll be fitting a towbar later on, should I do it at that time? I've observed there are two different towbar fittings one for each style, but after downloading the instructions...

Buying 1982 camper - help please

Hi, I may have gone straight to the wrong part of the forum so please let me know if I have! I am looking at a 1982 1970cc camper nearby. I previously owned a Kamper 1.6TD (D363MVS if it's on here?) so not altogether new to the field, although I did sell it 10 years ago! The one I am looking at has ...
