Well I removed the roof rack and cleaned out a lot of plant material and possibly a mouse nest.... Cleaned and polished

I appreciate the offer but nowhere near you I'm afraid. I might just take it off and clean it as I need to swap the manifold for one with pre-heat anyway. Seems like the ideal time to do it.

What kind of lube should I use? Lithium grease?

So lube then check my nuts....sound advice no matter what we are talking about Cheers

I have come to the conclusion that the choke is never turning off even when warmed up. I have a Bocar 34 pict 3 (I know but it came with the van) and the Fast Idle cam is always in this position (not mine but a handy picture from the interwebs). It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold it is...

I noticed my Odometer doesn't work. The speedo seems fine. Any ideas where to start?

I'm in Aberdeen, not sure there are many places further from Gatwick and still mainland UK. But thanks for the offer!

I certainly did it was from the manifold boot thing. One side only had 1 clip where as the other had 2. Stuck an extra clip on it and it is now nice and non-drippy. Left hand side just behind the cable to the spark plug

Put on the EMPI quick shift kit (under £6) and that sorted it right out. I have a set of bushes which I will replace as well but that was enough to be honest.

The jubilee clip is now there and sorted. :) Plus it is a lot better now the air filter is in place as well

Quiet weekend on the camper van front. Fitted the SCAT air filter I got my hands on (should have been their to start with so didn't cost me anything) which helped the engine run a lot nicer, although it did chuck a load of black stuff out the exhaust when it fired up. Then took apart Offside...

No pictures yet but I fitted new battery terminals that actually grip on to the battery, new front seatbelts as the old ones where pretty cruddy and horrible, EMPI quick shift kit to sort the gear change out and started work on the engine. Pictures soon. :)

I fitted the EMPI quick shift kit and that plus some adjusting and it seems to have made a huge difference. Actually drivable now and no accidental reverse selection. Happy days

Did you find them georgeyv? How much gate keeper? Pictures either of you?

I am looking for the tin wear marked number 2 in this diagram. Goes under the engine

I assume it is a time machine or a very early prototype... Ebay Link

I would be interested in the manifold if it is still available. I'll PM

Yeah I found this which might be worth a go first. :)

Ok will give it a go. Is it easy to do?

Just don't want to waste time faffing about if I end up getting the shifter anyway. At the minute every junction is a nightmare and the Mrs won't come out in it again till it is sorted.
