You don't say what type of sender you have, but here is a diagram of the resistance at various fuel levels:

What's the correct (best) way to position door mirrors? Long side up or long side out. Just wondering as I have seen both ways being used, even both on the same bus. I suppose I could test on mine, but looking for opinions...

Where did you get the convex mirrors from? Thanks

Check your carb's float level.

Loads of info on the old interweb on how to do this, but basically find top dead centre of no 1 piston by either removing the spark plug and putting a screwdriver or something similar in the hole and rotate the engine with a spanner on the alt/gen or crank nut. Or remove the dizzy cap and...

Does anyone know which type of valve covers dissipate cylinder head heat more efficiently, Aluminium or Steel?

Great weekend, good food, music and company

Had a nice couple of days away in the van at Glampfest N Yorks. On the way home the engine started getting up to 120 C so had to take it slow until we got home. Checked today and found the alternator pulley nut had worked loose so the fan belt wasn't turning the alt or the main fan. Lucky it...

My daily drive is a diesel Mondeo, one time I had to fuel the 71 bay I accidentally put diesel in instead of petrol. I had pumped 2 ltr before I realised the mistake, then filled up with E5. I swear the bus ran better than ever, but haven't had the balls to try again...

Nice couple of days at the Oyster Farm Camping site on Anglesey, but boy was it cold at night. Good job we had the log burner.

Make sure you haven't got too much of the wire feeding the headlights in the bowl, this could stop the lights sitting correctly.

I have a JK quiet pack 4 into 1 header, clears the engine mount bar without any problems.

Yep I replaced the front panel a few years ago, and it had the 3 tabs.

It could have been, but I replaced the wiring with a loom containing 2 relays. I kept the existing wiring for the sidelights and the trigger for the relays as they will still work if the voltage is less than 12v, and ran a new wire from the battery to provide the current for the lamps. I used a...

Not hard at all after a count of goes I can get it up (oo mister) in about 30 min, same taking it down.

The old girl has had some new mk 1 Golf crystal clear lights fitted. Now I can dispense with the man who walks in front with his red flag after dark!

We used to have a Kyam air beam but now use a Glawning, much cooler...
