HI guys
Any recommendations for getting some bodywork done, Central South England? Although will travel for the right job done.

Various bits need doing, A pillars both sides and around windscreen, usual stuff, then overspray all over.

Would value your input for a good job.

Hi Guys Have noticed a few posts recently for syncro mirror top gaskets and the fact that they are impossible to get anymore. Have eventually got round to fitting the pair of mirrors that I purchased at SYNCRO 25 ................. yes they have been in the garage that long :mrgreen: I did happen to ...

Hi Pete It wasnt the fuel pump that was the issue, just found it had blown around the electrical connectors while checking everything out trying to solve the the problem. Have been running it for the last month with no problems, changed it yesterday so it doesn't give me a problem at an inopportune ...

Hi Guys Sorry for the delay in replying. AdyJoad at Boxwagen sorted the van out, I know it was a bit of a pain, but he was meticulous and did a really good job. :D Swapped the whole fuel injection system over at one point or another including the loom. Everything went back to original apart from new...

To be fair it is the bottom section of the strap that is shot, cos i'd bought some new stainless ones thought i'd fit the whole lot......................sparkly things my precious and all that :twisted: Tank out is a bit further than I had planned to go, just trying to restore practicality Thanks :ok

Hi Guys

Any quick pointers on how to remove the top bolt of a tank strap without having to remove the tank?

Ady

Did you clean the connectors on the fuel pump Ady? No, not yet was going to tackle that when the new tank straps go on. If it was the fuel pump connectors would it not happen more readily? It does only die when it gets warm? It then works fine if you turn the engine on and off again? (resetting sen...

I've had similar problems and can recommend a company called ECU Doctor http://the-ecu-doctor.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Really helpfull Thanks Peter, had a look at the website looks very comprehensive and very reasonably priced, will give them a ring tomorrow. ...

Thanks Jeremy Did change that temperature sensor you mentioned, which is the "temp 2" sensor, dont know why it is temp 2 but thats how they are referred to in Bentleys and any suppliers when you need to replace them................ I'm sure someone will tell us though :lol: Didnt check the...

Thanks for your responses

Got some bits in place to solve this over the weekend

Ady any joy with the ECU?

Thanks again

Hi Ady thanks for the offer on the ECU I have PM'd you. I did disconnect the 02 / Lambda sensor completely, didnt have one on it at all for the first couple of years I had the van, always ran well, only put it on to see if it would improve the MPG! I'm replacing the tank straps so will check out the...

Guys

Thanks for the replies and checking out the ECU availability.

Just as a matter of interest what is the difference between a DJ loom and an MV loom, apart from the obvious lambda senor port?

Could they be swapped and discard the Lambda?

Ady

Hi Guys.............. Sorry its been a while! Wondered if I could call on some help, many heads big better than one! :) Bit of an issue with the van, 2.1i MV Syncro in Bournemouth on the south coast. Was going to Dubaid and got covered by a wash of water on the off side, not long after followed by t...

Nice vid Jed,

never been, looks like I,m gonna have to make the effort next time round

Ady

Has it worked in the past? When we first took the van out for a run when we bought it, to test it out it engaged but not very smoothly. When I renewed the starter motor, had to remove it to fit it, checked it out then, switched/vacuum pushed the actuator pin in and out. It has worked since............
