    I’ve never had an oil pressure light

    So I’ve never had one. I know it’s stupid. So I’ve now decided to sort it. I’ve put in a new switch. A new bulb. I’ve grounded the wire and nothing. So how do I run a fresh wire. I have belly pans fitted so I’m lost really.

    Van won't start !!

    Have a look at the above. Mine is different to this. my number 1 is at the 1 o’clock position on the dizzy as I remember. So go back to basics find TDC check your points are good or just get a electronic ignition fitted.

    Cv joint bolt torque settings.

    Just changed my cv boots. However when I took the damaged ones off (been on less than 2 years). The bolts were loose. I’ve nipped up the new ones but I’m scared to put to much pressure on as they seem very prone to round off. Firstly what are the correct torque settings I’ve read somewhere...

    Oil leak above oil pressure switch

    So doing my checks today. Again noticed oil below the pressure switch so had a good look and noticed oil above as well does seem to be creeping from anywhere else so I’m hoping it’s just yet another crap switch. I used PTFE to fit the latest so I’m wondering if someone in the past has over...

    E10 fuel

    Just been down to fill up with Momentum which is still E5 but as we know costs more. I have run the van in the past on super unleaded and maybe it was my imagination but I thought it ran better

    Motor ?

    Ozz I can get a big boy truck size torque wrench and sockets if you need them. The only issue being it would need to be out and back in within the day. I work in Cardiff so it’s a short hop over the bridge. You can bring the engine to me or I could bring them to you if you are in need. I also...

    Doesn't want to idle?

    How old is the electronic ignition? Is the coil old? Plus how old are the HT leads any of those could be breaking down. The leak could be incidental.

    Doesn't want to idle?

    This happened to me after a lay up. Ozzy told me to take it for a run. Not had any issues since I did that.

    Kitchen Unit Project

    Did you buy it as a kit or have you gone from scratch. If you’ve done it from scratch do you have a guide to the process

    Map of Air cooled garages {Wales}

    Last time I was down there. Pre COVID. They weren’t doing jobs on people’s vans. Only importing parts and vehicles to do up and sell on. I bought a tail gate there and whilst chatting he said doing vans for people was to much hassle.

    E10

    I knew it was coming but noticed today Tesco unleaded is now E10. Their Momentum is still E5. I noticed this when filling up. Having read a little about this it seems it’s ok in the short term I think I will switch to super unleaded or check the price of additives. I’m going to change the fuel...
