Evening Campers (generalisation sorry). As above really,i have just gone through 500 miles,well probably been closer to 600 and after changing oil twice during and on 500 miles i now decided to check the valve clearances and have found them all to be too tight bar two valves :? My first...

Will they make it to suit the van i.e. towbar fitted not a Gadget item :roll: or is there a cost for a bespoke unit??

I have a removeable towbar fitted,had it for 3 years now,got it off the Samba. I stumbled on it by chance,some fella was making them and after seeing what was available at the time i took the plunge........ :P :P :P Well pleased with it,everytime i go round the back either to load up or...

It is not the shaft which goes up and down off the crankshaft but the one you see horizontal just behind the mounting points. when i broke down i went through the usual check all leads and fuel cutoff solenoid (34 pict3 carb) etc then i noticed/felt around the back of the fuel pump and the said...

Got a new pump from JK about 4 years ago covering less than 3k miles and today whilst coming back from the MOT station,it passed but i broke down lost power but had lectric. On closer inspection i saw/felt the pivot shaft hanging out,managed to push it back in by levering/fettling and it fired...

:P It passed no problem :P :P :P But............... Struggled to start after collecting the certificate :? :( finally got it started and 1 mile down the road i broke down :cry: :cry: :cry: Would turn over but not fire,checked all the leads and connections were tight but no...

what's the springy thing fitted just above the cutoff solenoid?? oil around the airfilter is the norm,picks up vapour from the oil filler via crankcase pressure i believe,mind i have been wrong in the past but more experienced chaps will be around shortly,if it isn't the norm then i have issues...

you got mail ;)

well the joint at the exchanger and zorst is fine so is the joint at the head,looks like it is the joint where preheat pipe comes out the zorst or there is a split in the front of the silencer but goes quiet when warm :roll: :roll: is it common for the preheat pipe to blow coming out of the...

well it is still doing it but tonight i had a good look,had to take off the bumper and remove the rear valance then started the engine and it seemed to come from the offside exchanger to zorst joint. so i tightened that joint good and tight then started the engine again,bugger me it only kept...

do you need to reset the carb or anything else to accommodate summer and winter driving?? i wonder because of starting issues after initial drive(see earlier post struggle to fire). carb is 34pict3 solex fresh rebuild/rebushed last summer,or could it be valve clearances need doing,just completed...

So i take the van out for a run yesterday,started first time sweet as a nut and ran it out to some family about 16 miles or so stop and have a brew and a catch up for an hour. Get back in the van turn then key,it turns over fine but does not catch until 10-15 secs of turning and two pumps of...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: i take it you need to use oil then Ozziedog???

I got a set and fitted them but found i had the wrong linkage bar for some reason :roll: i don't know if they are year related or if the ones i got were for a single port but the bar kept fouling on the oil cooler. I ended up making my own crude linkage bar now all is good,but i had to remove...

when n where peeps :roll:

RIP Mr Mayall Another Great Character gone,first Roger then Bob and now Rik all will be missed!! :|

so is there enough distance to "retap and use oversized studs" by my guess there is about 3-4mm til your in the space where the oil filter sits. Regards. Sharky.

I am in the process of repairing a stud on the sump/case,annoying little weep so i've took the bull by the horns and am trying to replace a bolt with a new stud. On to my question,when you do a full oil change and not an intermediate(running engine in)and you replace both gaskets(one on the...
