Re: Trolley or Bottle Jack

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]

Re: Blower motor replacement

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...

Re: Coolant Type for Subaru EJ20 Engine Conversion

Same engine as I have, I use pink OAT coolant. So don't worry about that. Need to change mine really, it's been years. Have you got two green multiplug connectors (unplugged) but next to each other somewhere? Perhaps under the bench seat, if there's any engine wiring there. They are the diagnostic p...

Top wishbone long bolt and nut , I had some clonks from that after a job there. I had to pinch that up to take out any slack.

Old solar panel- I think it's lost it's oomph

I've had a rigid 130w panel on the roof for at least 12 years, doing it's thing with no maintenance at all. I saw about a year ago that's had an impact somewhere along the line, and it's all crazed/shattered. Now using the victron app, (smart solar 75/15 controller), the max peak wattage I get out o...

Re: out of interest . DJ injection on DG...

Yes maybe, an 84. I don't know if an dj injection setup from then is different to a UK late DJ..?

Re: out of interest . DJ injection on DG...

I had a DH engine, and actually the tank did NOT have the bigger 12mm outlet, just a normal 7mm(?). I can't confirm if that was how it came from the factory, but that was how it was, and it ran fine. I even ran the replacement ej20 Subaru with that tank for quite a while and it also ran fine, now re...

Re: Handbrake all to ""cock""

That wonky angle is how it should be if I recall right. As to how wonky is another question. But if you look carefully where the nut mates up to the balance bar, the profile of the bar shows a deliberate angled seat, rather than a perpendicular flat. I don't know why it's like that, but someone here...

Re: Radius arm cup washers

I don't think.youre in any immediate danger [emoji4] I wouldn't stress about it - just have them swapped round at the next convenient time, maybe when you're doing other suspension work. I bet there's loads of vans going around with them flipped wrongly. ignorance is bliss ! Sent from my Pixel 4 usi...

Re: I've not got the horn

Works with engine running? My twin horn thing likes a lot of volts to sound. Mine is also relayed.
