Thank you for your answers, time to get my hands dirty then.

Hi all,
I am unable to open my 85 1.6d rear door, the key goes in but wont engage or turn, is it possible to open from the inside ?, thought i,d ask before I go in hammer and tongs and make it worse Thanks

1.6 diesel cruises at 62/65 mph - once had it off the clock on a big hill on the a30 in neutral - done it a year later in 5th gear 75 mph max - put it back in neutral, an indicated 95 mph -

On the two occasions I,ve had this problem the first time was bio diesel had gone solid in the fuel filter due to the cold weather blocking the flow but it would tick over all day, and the second was the conection on the lift pump was corroded,

I had this after a water hose went inside the engine bay, for ages it happened then I sprayed some gt85 and all was well.

I now find there is no power to the switch, aaarrrggghhh

Many thanks, now where,s my hammer.

Can anyone tell me where on the engine it is please.

Wandy,
did this sort out your problem ?

Has anyone fitted a jk engine (1.6 diesel) to their bus - the jk engine is out of the 84 / 86 golf caddy etc range, and if so how many litres of oil do you use, mine is taking 6.5 litres to the max mark, which seems a little too much. do you have to change the sump when fitting into a t25 ???

The clicking in the glove box was the wiper relay, i traced the starting problem to a bad connection on the fuel solenoid, took off cleaned and now its starts when warm, thanks for the help,

Thanks colinthefox, I have replaced that relay - the problems is the van will start all the time from cold - but after driving for 10/15 mins and turning the engine off - on my return 5/10 mins later the glow plug light will not come on - the engine will not start at all - if i leave it for 20/30 mi...

Evening all,
Is there a glow plug (timer) relay in the old style fuse box - i have the relay in the engine bay - and can hear something clicking in the glove box when turning on the ignition - also can anyone point me in the direction of a fuse box diagram,
Ta

Thanks for the advice, I,ve got a couple of days off soon, so i,ll have another look then

Yes i fitted a brand new one shortly after it started playing up and checked the lines for air leaks and found nothing and no change.
