Hi Andy

Not sure if anyone's seen your post tucked away in here. Try popping on to the Motorhomes part of the forum and asking there. Good luck!

More than likely the wee copper starter bush in the bell housing andy thats a common problem on them or it could be a bad earth connection. Have a look on these 2 sites specifically for t3's (t25's) www.brickyard.co.uk and  www.club8090.co.uk 

Cheers

Whats your battery like? low battery will also cause symptoms you describe. Try a jump start first.

If you battery goes flat if van is left standing for a few days, Put ammeter across terminals with everything switched off. If there is a current drain then something in the van is discharging battery. If nothing then the battery has had it & needs replacing.

I fitted a battery isolator switch to our T25 about 5 years ago and never had a flat battery...you may want to consider this as an option

Cheers

Isolator switch is prevention rather than cure. If you have anything on your van causing a drain on battery while engine is off, you need to locate & fix.

An isolator switch is simple to fit. It is just a heavy duty switch fitted to battery lead. Google 'battery isolator switch'to see what they look like. Buy from any auto spares shop.
