Thanks guys. The overflow tank is fitted now. Took me a while to be able to test drive properly as when I tried the heavens opened and turned out the windscreen wipers had stopped working. Long story short that issue turned out to be my own silly fault because I'd wired up the X relay wrong when sw...

Ok interesting. Bite point is fine, nothing unusual there.

Gearbox nose bushing is new, the 2 engine rubber mounts I can't speak for. Are those the ones you mean? I'll look with a pry bar. Thanks

I've got a fairly repeatable judder when pulling away in 1st or second, at low ish revs, particularly when it's cold, or not been running long. Seems to go away when it's warmed up. Using higher revs clears it. All other behaviour is normal. It's actually been doing it for ages, I just adjusted beha...

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...
