Little update. The van is running again thanks to all your help. As you pointed me into the direction of the hall sender, I took off the connector and gave it a little clean. I then connected the ignition coil back up after cleaning the connections on there. The van started first try and ran perfect...

Thanks jrt I have a spare king lead and checked it to see if it would work, still no spark unfortunately

Our 1984 1.9 dg won’t start. Turns over but dose not catch. We did the old half an egg cup into the carb, and still nothing. Then tested for a spark, no spark at all and the dizzy cap looks fine and clean. Am I right to think the ignition coil may have broke down. For a couple of weeks we have been ...

Brilliant thank you. It's the one on the left still unsure whether to wait for brickwerks to get one in stock always had a bad experience with JK

Trying to find a replacement ignition coil, we have a 1984 westie 1.9 dg with a green sticker coil. Brickwerks have none in stock but found one on dare I say it, just kampers https://www.justkampers.com/211-905-115-c-ignition-coil-vw-t25-1979-1984.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);retu...

That seems like a hell of a lot of money for the work being done to me. Is that to cut out all of the metal and replace with new panels/fabricate metal and are they supplying the panels?! I’d deffo shop around for some more quotes - i’d also say that you’ll provide the panels. He wants to cut out t...

If he was doing an e type jag or the like then yes if you can afford a car like that you can afford the welding bill.Whats the van worth after all this expensive welding has been done.With paint your looking at around 8 grand.i restored a splitty pickup replacing every panel and cost no where near ...

ill get some pictures up on Saturday I'm at work tomorrow and it will be dark by the time I get home

I forgot to say the added vat was £750

We need a few jobs done on the van the main one being the front window as it leaks. The welder quoted us worst case scenario £1200 for the front window. He did say worst case scenario means taking the dash out which is fair enough. But he had a look around the van and said it was very solid we just ...

It's about time for an oil change in our 1.9 dg 1984 westie. We do have a few oil leaks here and there mostly from the push rod tubes which I will replace with the teloscopic ones soon. I have been told though that because our engine is older and we should maybe use a thicker grade oil. We use the 1...

Sometimes when we first start the van if we sit there for a minute it smells like petrol but I always think it’s the expansion tanks under the front wheel arches

I’ll have her running tomorrow trying to look for the leak I’m really hoping it was just a one off after just being to the petrol station maybe parking on some spilt petrol. The smell is gone now but it’s been sat for about 2 hours no leak visible under the van or on any pipes on the underside so it...
