Live feed to ignition barrel.....

Firstly, thanks to the wiki I changed my heater blower motor on saturday and it works great! Problem being that whilst doing that job I disturbed the cabling on the steering column and the RED live feed that goes into the BLACK connector block attached to the bottom of the ignition barrel. I drove h...

Re: Steering column shear bolts.........

Cheers Jim, I'll try attacking a bit harder. I'm gonna replace the shear bolts.......the thread is M8? Would one the same as farther down the column work alright if I get ones the same as them?

Steering column shear bolts.........

Evening ladies and gentlemen! I'm going to be taking a second shot at replacing my blown heater in my T25, as my 1st attempt was scuppered by the dreaded shear bolts.

Re: 'Vanagon syndrome???? n do I Have it?

Cheapest thing to try would be some new plugs I reckon, might be that they are getting a little fouled. Also clean carbs and fuel lines if possible. Could be a fuel starvation issue and if it isn't those things then at least you've done 'em........

Re: Waxoyl (or similar) in Bristol

I got mine done by the only 'official' place in the UK and it's just north of London, about the same distance for you as it was me mate, but well worth the £500 for the piece of mind.........
