T1 308D 1994 OM601 engine auto transmission
I've been running my T1 308D which started life in 1994 as a minibus in London. Supplied and serviced by Mercedes in Edgware Road, I converted it to a camper a couple of years ago and it has been a good vehicle for us. It must have been garaged when not working, as it is surprisingly free of rust! The achilles heel is the automatic transmission: I had the box overhauled at considerable expense last year, but still not entirely happy - I suspect that the van is simply too heavy for it, and am considering a conversion to manual box if I get further trouble.
There does not appear to be a dedicated TI owners forum so I am interested to see if any T1 owners are here?

Well this is it. Not a VW in my eyes! I didn't know what a T1 was either until I bought it! P5230040.JPG P5250044.JPG
