you can fill the radiator using some 4mm washer hose syphoning from a coolant bottle on top of the cab, as long as you remove the bleed screw, don't lose the washer if fitted and have them to hand when it is full, works really well - Dai taught me that trick :ok Yeah I've had some interesting contr...

If it helps any guage paranoia, mine reads approx 3/4 when warned up, and has done for years- it's normal for this van. I've an rjes converted loom too. It sounds a lot like you've a lot of air in the system, if it's not coming out the radiator bleed when hot. Get the overflow tank fitted and filled...

Sucking in air every time you do a warm up & cool down cycle (which you are currently doing) could certainly hurt your cooling ability. Very worth fixing as step 1 [emoji1303]

The hose from the blue cap just leads away towards the ground. No other tank. Presume I should have one therefore... I'll have to run it again and check those pipes. The radiator stays cold for sure. Yes, you should definitely have the stock water tank behind the number plate. Otherwise that pipe g...

Expansion tank with the blue Blau cap on top. I replaced the cap when this all started a while back but didn't make a difference. You think it might be a pressure issue? I might be being a bit thick but I don't appear to have a top-up tank... The hose that comes off your blue cap, must lead somewhe...

Love it! Well done [emoji1316]

The dash board instruments were probably swapped over to an mph one. I swapped my kmh one to a different kmh one with very different odo readings- it didn't seem to affect anything mot wise.

I came across this solution too, made in France.

I dont need anything fixing on mine, but there are some other interesting things he's making too.

It's not been very long though, to be fair Rob.

Alec at New Barn garage in Todmorden is very familiar with them and owns one himself, worth a call [emoji1303]

Is it getting fuel right to the unit? Is there an air lock in the fuel filter? Is the intake hose clear (no water in it)? Sometimes needs several on off cycles just to get fuel pumped back to the heater. Can sometimes be a faff to restart when they're not happy [emoji53] Sent from my Pixel 4 using T...

Put this job off for about two years! Adding front shock spacers to lift the front to match the back. I borrowed the proper compressors from a friendly garage. Not gonna use those claw type ones ever again! The only other way on this one would be to open up the brake lines/calipers off and drop the ...

I travel with a bottle jack, which can lift any wheel off the ground by placing under the wishbones. A big Trolley jack for home stuff. Then of course swap in some jack stands [emoji1303]

Hi! Another question, sorry... Do you need to take the heater box completely out of the vehicle to open it and replace the motor/foam? Yes Id think so. I used some generic sticky back dense foam (3M) , just cut it to the right sizes. It's all pretty clear once you have it out and open [emoji1303] S...
