Hi I'm about to convert my 1.7D to a AAZ. I've been informed i can use the JX turbo (which I don't have yet) and this will minimise the additional non standard fabrication. But is there may be an issue with fitting a JX inlet manifold on to aaz. Also i think this will allow me to use my 1.7 engine m...

Hi -wonder if you could give some advice to complete novices? Before applying the first coat of paint, when sanding down, can you use a sander? Also, as there will be differences in the paint texture, due to some bits being sanded off, will subsequent coats of paint even out this finish, with the fl...

Hi I didn't get the water pump pulley off. stubborn bolts and a hex key lost in the engine bay!!! Someone has suggested that the the may be reverse thread but i haven't tried it out.

Hi All I've got a 1.7D, that's got two VEE belts one for the water pump and one for the Alternator. I've got two new belts and want to fit them. I've just replaced the alternator, but it wasn't obvious how I should replace the lower , water pump belt. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jody

Cheers Aidan

I'll have a look at the Belt and think bit more about the alternator.
Regarding a replacement can you advise where i might get a reconditioned replacement?

Hi All I've been informed that the slight squealing noise (similar to a fan belt, but not as load or harsh) when starting my van could be due to the alternator bearings going.Is this likely and if so do i need to get a new alternator or can it be fixed ? Also the lower belt (water pump) may be a lit...

Thanks all- RM instructions most useful for guidance.

Thanks all . It's diesel so it looks like it'll have to go inside.

Cheers again

Hi All

I'm building my interior units and was wondering does anyone have any recomendations as to how much extra space i need to allow for, in the fridge cupboard. Extra being beyond the dimenstion of the friddge?

I hope this makes sense.

Hi All

Is there any reason why the leisure battery could not go in the opposite side of the engine bay from the starter battery?
It's seems a good place for it, close to the alternator and not taking up space in the interior.
