Thanks for confirmation. Puts my mind at rest

Hi all, maybe a silly question but just checking van over and observed that with the main coolant bottle cap off (the full one) the level is full. When I rev the engine this drops down the bottle and when the revs idle again it returns to full. Does that sound OK???

Agree with the upper wishbone bushes. As for the remedy.... , replace the bushes. This involves wishbone out the van. follow this link to the wiki section and/or haynes manual is your friend. It's quite straight forward if you have access to a welder. :ok https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Steering_and_Sus...

Hi, I Got my kit from ebay and it came within a few days with clear instructions ( in English) including photos on how to do it. With care it is quite easy, you will need a grinder to take the lip off the LDA housing and drill your holes carefully as there isn't much space but It works well. the onl...

I got a pucer screen a few years back its been very good :ok he was at Busfest . they are nice and cool on summer n...

Thanks for the reply . I’ll get and have a look in a bit .

So the van runs fine even 40mph up steep hills and apart from being generally slow ( it is a 1.6td camper !!) it seems fine . But checked the lda and manually moved the rod I can hear the air blowing out the nozzle ( with the tube removed ) but when I blank the tube off with my finger the arm return...

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a go and see how we get on

Ok , thanks for the reply.sounds like the best way is a new starter. Cheers

Any idea before If I can get a strap and attach it to one of the bolts on the back of the s...

Hi , From memory it goes back offside, back nearside, front offside , then front nearside. It's fairly easy with one of those vacuum bleeder efforts one person job then :ok ( note if you do use a vacuum bleeder , I put a bit of PTFE tape around the bleed nipple thread while getting the fluid through...
