Cheers Lard, you've been a great help. I'll keep you posted.

Oh yes, absolutely stinking of fuel. Been running rough for about a year. A reputable garage here in Manchester discovered my paper filter mashed up and soggy about 6 - 8 months ago. I replaced it. He said it was running a bit rich and the throttle was sticking. Said it was fixed. About...

Prof, thanks for the very good explanation. I'll give it a sniff later.

Thanks for reply. Nope just got old plate with no plug. How will I know about the carb flooding?

Hi everyone. I've discovered I have too much oil in my engine. For those that read my last topic about oil in my filter, possibly this could be the problem? Anyway, I looked at my dipstick and the level is some way over fill mark. I have standard sump on a 1600. No fancy drain plug. I've...

Cheers guys. Thanks for advice.

Hi all. Found out this joker who ripped me off trading as Vw sparky on ebay is a bloke called Mohammed Tanveer!! Anyone know of this jokers whereabouts please pm me and i'll do the rest. eBay and paypal won't help as after cut off period. Thing is, we don't buy stuff to fit on our buses...

Bertie, now on line and can see :shock: perfectly clear your pics. I'll pm you. Hope all had a merry merry day.

Simo and Bertie, am I missing something? I'm on taptalk on my phone. Can't see any pics. Happy Christmas all anyway 

Bertie, I may be tipsy on Christmas wine but what am I supposed to be looking at .

Arrrrrr now I get you. Yes it has a stand. Always thought that was a battery tray?!  I'll look into that. Cheers for advice.

Jacks that's all that's keeping me going mate. Yeah he's put the JK one back in and all works fine. He's put a new loom in so I know all the wiring is fine. Araon, he's done me okay so far. He's wired it up so my indicator flashes left or right and not together which I think helps. Have a...

Hi all and thanks for replies. Lard sorry to sound dumb but don't know what you mean. I've not done much to the engine in the 3 years I've had it except fit electronic ignition. As far as I can remember it's always had a pancake filter fitted. One service though it was found that the filter...

Yeah a few of you guys names did pop into my head  My first indicator that came with my bus got burnt out by my auto electrician although he won't admit it. Then I bought the JK one at about 90 notes which is . Then thought I need a second hand one again, hence my purchase. It seems to...

Thanks all for taking a look. Yeah the fuel filter is orange in the clear plastic holder. Is this not right? I can also see what is said about the oil filler. Whats your views? Thanks in advance.

Hi all and seasons greetings. For those that have read my tale of woe about my history of being ripped off with my bus........ well my bad look has continued today. After purchasing in Oct 11 a secondhand indicator stalk on fleabay for the pricely sum of £82, I was assured it was in working...

Afternoon all. As promised some pics of my engine minus it's oiled up filter. Many thanks for looking. 

Thanks all for advice. Will get a picture posted tomorrow.

Word of advice to anyone like myself who listened to a previous thread about truck mirrors from FiftySixDelux. Don't buy them. They arrived today and will be going straight back. At £100 I would be embarrassed to send them out with these brackets. My kid at school in his metal work class...

Spoke to an old friend today who used to be in the game and gave me some good advice. Told me to get a pancake filter and put the breather tube into a can as an oil catcher. Makes sense to me. Cheers Alex
