I had the same prob. Get underneath and run along the selector rod until you find an expansion joint, undo the clamp around it and slide it out no more ethan 1/8 inch. This in effect lengthens the selector rod and pivots the gear knob back away from the dash. If you move it too far though you may ha...

has anybody come across a decent set of seat covers for the front two seats only that fit properly. Mine are of the sort without head rests or arm rests and are made in the highest quality PVC!!

amatuers!!
whats wrong with doing the job properly and replacing it.

i replaced all of mine. Both the flexi hose and the solid pipe. I couldn't source them anywhere and eventually had to have them both specially made by a hydraulic hose manufacturers. Think i got stung actually cos i paid £40+!

Think you misunderstand me. If the van is rolling to a stop then no problemo you can get first. But if your stopped, it wont go in till you select second and then throw it forwards to first. I would hope no vehicle would go in to first whilst movin!

Cheers Guys I have a mate that has a scrap yard so i have the pick of the crop sort of. The rover seats sound like a they are worth a look at though.

I'd use ones that fit through the holes you already have in the bracket!! make sure they are high tensile though and use large over size washers to help spead the load

Does anyone know what seats are direct swap for the standard ones. i just dont fancy cutting and welding, or rather i cant be bothered.

I did mine and it smelled for a week or two but i am glad i did. Its got to protect externally , however cit is always said that they rust from inside out!

Am pretty sure this has been on here before but i cant find it!! When stopped at lights/junction i have to select second gear before being able to go in to first. as i remember being mentioned there is an adjustment that needs to be made on the selector rod that goes the length of the vehicle. How i...

dunno the mileage yet Bob, not been far enough or long enough to be accurate. But a weeks travelling to work and back (Leigh and about 40-50) saw about 15-20 squids worth of gip.

No the carbs have never been re furbished. I know the mech had trouble in getting the hydro carbons down for the test and had to "re do" everything and then alter things afterwards to get it to run right. would this be the CO as well? Could I not tweak the mixture screw one way or the othe...

ok ! one for you carb experts. Just got my van on the road after a full recon everything. to get it through the mot the mechanic had to set up the carbs and tune the engine. (he did this off his own back to get it through for me) iIn the 2 weeks i've been running it it ace when warmed up but when co...

dunno why everyone jumps to a compression test!! Start at the beginning with basics, if you only have a weak spark check your dizzy components ie/ points condensor rotor arm and more importantly plug leads. I had the same fault but only with one cyl (no3) and it was the lead. If they are the same as...

think i have sorted it. comp does not come in to question as i have new cylinders and pistons etc. it appears to have been the plug lead. i couldn't swap them about because of the lenghts etc not reaching when i looked at the dist end the connection was relying on a brass crimp with a spike for want...
