Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
Progress of any form is progress Rob, I can remember when I had the unit (co-shared in Darlington about 80 mile round trip) and I used to spend longer on the road than I did in the actual unit some nights, so don't beat yourself up too much. You're certainly getting more confident around the tools, ...

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
ideally plugs out and bore scope down to see what can be seen from that, get it timed back up and fit the belt if its looking safe to do so. No point stripping the engine down if it isn't required. I mean you might be really lucky and nothing was fully open when it went (best case scenario) When a x...

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
My bad, sorry - clearly I wasn't awake when originally reading this.
Fingers crossed the damage isn't too bad all the same.

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
Ouch, not sure where you stand with it breaking after being done by the garage, and how much of the cost they will absorb if its been customer supplied parts. Certainly not what I would expect from a gates belt, but then no idea how long its been on the shelf. Sorry to hear about the woe's. Hopefull...

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
Aye, fuel leaks are not fun to fix. But always fixable. Depending on what route you want to go (and if you're doing it yourself. I liberated the fuel lines off a Vectra B many years ago, Astra Mk4 will do too (and probably less work too). All fun and games.

Re: 1994 Cavalier LSi C20NE (was C18NZ) Work-horse
I know, and if I had my way I'd still have FOG's kicking about, just wasn't meant to be. You have previously offered but I couldn't (financially) do the work and investment justice and thus wouldn't even offend you by suggesting it (without it being tongue in cheek anyhow). I do want to see it on th...

If you can get polypushes that won't rattle your bones and from a reputable seller you'd be fine Rob.

Aye, if that gets sold I want first dibs Rob
Hopefully it gets the old mojo working and the car is roadworthy again soon, just keep an eye out.

Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
I forgot to mention that I attempted to test fit the left headlamp. The beam alignment was a mile off. And then I realised that the glass lens was not fitted properly - it had slipped a good inch to the right from the light bowl. Looks like naff grey sealant was used to bond the glass to the bowl. ...

The girl seems very dedicated. She has already found a few issues with the offside outer CV joint - it is missing it's securing circlip. The comment was "I only had to touch the strut and it came apart from the joint" Yeesh!! No other news yet about the car, so hopefully no sheared bolts ...
