Ok!!!! Many Apologies to all for wasting your time!!! Returned from the Honeymoon last week, and went about investigating my leaking cyclinder head on Saturday morning!!! Low and behold, I found a burst hose on the hose to the cabin heat exchanger, just at the termination to the engine. I didnt have...

Hey Shane Best wishes to you both for the rest of your honeymoon. You don't say in what condition and how well it ran before this little problem! Was it running OK? No bad habits like smoking a lot, especially going downhill? IF - it was going OK and as you have spent so much time on the body and p...

Hey Guys, was heading off on my honeymoon yesterday and we were cruising about 65mph along the motorway and started losing water. I think it was coming from the jacket seal of the right hand side set of two cylinders!!!! she didnt get a chance to overheat thankfully.. :cry: I didn't really have time...

Any tips on spraying with Rustoleum,

do you use any type of paint thinners or the Rustoleum 7301 stuff or does this matter.

is the paint very slow to cure?

any advice would be appreciated, just ready to start works.

I had a similar problem, sometimes the fuel pump may seem to be pumping fine but may be slack on actual pressure delivered to the carb. There a cheap replacement in the overall scheme of things

what i'm planning to do tomorrow is to install the oversize bushing i have got. i'm going to drill out the casing hole to accomodate.

i'm surprised that there are no starters available that will support themselves when installled.

would make it a solid repair, no more to worry about after that.

surly easier than trying to drill out the bushing hole for a larger brass bushing etc

don't want to take off the gearbox either, call it lazyness

Needed a self supporting starter for a 1.9Dg manual, does anyone know where i could get one that would fit my van

sorry

its a petrol 1.9 Dg waterboxer engine

yep, i've changed the coil (the old one may have been ok) changed the distributor, isolated all issues. i think i may not have actually ever ran outta fuel but i was more or less empty going up a steep road when the problem first arose. is it an aluminium component that looks a little like a hard di...

ok, i've moved on from having a van with a problem after running out of fuel to a van that starts but cuts out. it starts fine, warms up a little and conks as soon as you put some pressure on the engine along the road. i have handed it over to a mechanic to work on it. he says that the ignition modu...

ok me and a mate who is a mechanic are raising the white flag.

there isn't anyone technical here from cork in ireland or who would have a contact in the vicinity?

would be appreciated.
