I had this fault and you would first think of volt leakage. My fault was that the signal tab on the solenoid had not been made on to the field coil of the solenoid correctly in manufacture. ​​​​​​This was a 'Brand New Bosch' TDi starter, which was a new addition to the van purely as an upgrade to pr...

Have you checked your battery voltage static, running at 1500rpm and then at 4000?

Might be an idea to check if the diff lock is seized on, because ...

You must be in a state of Total excitement mate. Re-births like that are rare, Mmm the thought of gloss paint on the strut bracing. Is that the point at which you will be having the 'Open Van morning' so we can share the joy? A bit like Las Vegas. . . Build it and they will come Great development id...
