Re: Replace 1.9 Engine with 2.1 or Subaru?

I was thinking along the same lines,  triumph2.5pi. I had a 1.9 and was becoming frustrated with the power when faced with the slightest incline, or if fully loaded for camping with the family, dog, bikes, kitchen sink, small nuclear reactor etc. It being a hightop probably didn't help. Subaru seeme...

Re: T25 - turn the key and nothing. Starter motor?

She was always running, just sometimes nothing happened when turning the key. Give it a second and try again and it’s fine.
Crawled under and checked starter and spade was on there. Saying that, I didn’t remove it to clean the terminals.

That’s 3 votes for the spade connector.

T25 - turn the key and nothing. Starter motor?

So today it's cold and wet out. I started my 1987 T25. It turned over just fine. Bit slow to catch maybe but it's been too weeks since I drove her. Drove around for a while and stopped off for an hour. Tried to start it again and nothing... Idiot lights all on. 12v showing in the battery (from light...

Re: Underbody rust, including beams

Many thanks. Then finish the job by pairing with Hammerite waxoyl?

How are people cleaning the undercarriage, before getting the wire brushes out? Steam clean, jet wash?

Re: Underbody rust, including beams

I've got a noob question: box sections? 'spraying it in'?

Re: Which new seats ?

I did Range Rover seats last year.
Took a bit of work: got local metal shop to cut off RR runners, and then bolted on universal runners.

They are really comfy though :)

Re: Where to buy 5x112 to 5x120 wheel adaptors?

Thanks.
I'm guessing everyone is out of stock in that case, as nothing on Brickwerks or Heritage for 5x120 (did see 5x130 though).
I've also looked at JustKampers, Campervan Culture and Slaughterhouse with no luck either.

Hen's teeth?

Where to buy 5x112 to 5x120 wheel adaptors?

Can anyone recommend where I can source 5x112 to 5x120 wheel adaptors? I have a T25 and have been offered a set of T5 steels. As swapping the 14" wheels on a T25 is pretty standard , I'm surprised how difficult to find adaptors is. I've googled but at that seems to come up is eBay and some BMW ...

What wheels fit T25 - useful link

Hi all.
I stumbled upon this website, whilst looking for PCB of T5 wheels...

https://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volkswa ... 1990).html
This link lists which cars have the same centre bore and PCB as the T25, along with model and year.
Hope someone finds it useful.

T25 Seats - what’s the going rate?

I want to add these to the For Sale section but no idea what their value is. I removed these from my ‘87 T25. They come with original runners, and I think they’re in good condition for their age. Any idea what the going rate is? Thanks https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200722/c5b4c5f139aa19524efbb5...

Finished fitting seats. Bit of a faff but totally worth it!
