feel for you chief,not nice when your on site and you have a serious problem!! hope all tuns out ok.

i used one when i had twins and was piece of cake to set the mixture,the one i had had a washer on as normal and it never fell off once. only problem i found is they go brittle after a while and if you leave in for long the plastic gets quite supple. my old neighbour loaned me it along with a...

Best of British for the trip fella,only hope you don't get the weather to go with it!!

Just throwing this one out there. What is the correct speed limit for a bus on A roads etc?? I have a friend who has just been stung 6 points and what amounts to £398 for doing "77 in a 50 zone??" Basically it was around Yeovil on an A road where it splits into two lanes effectively making a...

My very first car was a 68' Beetle 1500 with factory sunroof at the age of 20,had it for two years and sold it for more than twice i paid and ended having two years free motoring. Only sold it for more [b]POWER[/b] :lol: :lol: So far was my biggest regret. 19 years later we(family)purchased a...

FIRST PIC IS A WESTY LOUVRE WINDOW I BELIEVE.

a chap called Craig from Brum i believe is very reasonable and reliable,i have his number at home(at work at the minute) or someone on here might have his number to hand. drooped my van off when i bought it on a trailer towed by a T4/5.

should all vans have this fuel breather setup??? i got my van 4 yrs ago and i don't have anything like this at all or is it just for some variants??

In the last two years i have used the van for 3 proms and 2 weddings all of which i did as favours where no money changed hands. Today i have been asked to do another wedding but am unsure. My insurance covers me for entering rallies and static displays like Dubs@the Castle but obviously not...

yeah i got fkt off with trying to line up the zorst and xchanger with the pathetic clamp which is no way near wide enough to seal air from shroud thru to xchanger so i ripped the knuckle thingy bit off and used fresh air hose instead,or are you on about the silencer to xchanger joint???

i took the van out for the first time since refurbing the dynamo tonight and it started fine ticked over fine but when i pulled away i noticed a loud noise like it was blowing from the xzorst. after a couple of miles all seemed to quieten and travelling at 55-60mph it was not loud,well no louder...

Not sure if you can make it out,feel free to shout out any questions fella's The pics show running 34 ict's but i have gone back to stock. As for the thickness of insulation i believe it is 25 mm,the tabs which held the tar boards in work a treat. I marked out each section from the...

Bare with me fellas,i did the job about 2 1/2 yrs ago so i'll have a look for the pics. Failing that i can take some pics of the finished job showing the Ally plate and Firetec in place if that helps??

From where chief?? As in the post i rebuilt the carb last year and was running fine :| Initial start up it is fine,mind i didn't leave it running whilst in the garage so i don't know if it would cut out. :? Perhaps i might give it a go tomorrow and drive it about 30 miles with my AA card at...

Started the van today after last week refitting the Dyno. Started fine,backed it out on driveway which is on a slope (engine bay downhill) after a couple of mins it cut out and struggled to start. Fuel tank reads 1/4 full. Eventually started so put it straight back in. 1hr later i had another...

I take it these are the boards which fit in the ceiling of the engine bay?? I used builders foam i.e. celotex/kingspan which is rigid and backed both sides with foil and fire resistant. I cut it to shape,pushed it in then used perforated aluminum sheeting cut and fitted to box section and then...
