filler neck I think..........another thing to add to the list

thanks for your help people, outstanding support as usual, cheers!

it went to the garage, turned out to be water in the fuel.

hmmm, to be fair the week before this problem I filled up and did a 160 mile run so it hadn't been sat there, the van is my only vehicle and I usually use it at least once a week. stale fuel or not surely it would have started with the "easy start"? sods law - I'm stuck on a ship off holyh...

1984 caravelle 1.9DG engine, pierburg carb I turn the key and it does everything but start. Starter turning over OK. fuel getting to the input of the carb OK so I assume the fuel pump is OK, fuel in the tank, battery fully charged, air filter not connected to carb so far I have : *replaced the fuel ...

So I got in touch with Ring and explained how I put a battery on charge and it charged up to 16v before coming up with an "F01" error, here is a copy of the correspondence : ring - The fault code F01 will appear on the display if the battery is heavily sulphated and the charger has been un...

I've been having having trouble with my battery in the cold weather so I thought I'd take it in for the night and give it a charge. I've got a "Ring Smartcharge8" which has a display on it telling you the voltage and the current. When the charger is doing the constant current charge it fix...

Having said that the ATF coming out of ...

thanks for the replies, yes, the atf rises up the filler pipe and out over the top, knock the engine off and it sinks back down, the atf level was OK, in fact i just got back from a 3000 mile trip to switzerland and next time i used the van this happened, lucky to have made it home! I've been to a &...

Hi, I've got a 1.9DG with an autobox with is leaking, the strange thing is that its leaking out of the pipe that the AFT is supposed to go in.
