Re: High clutch pedal

Yikes. Sometimes as you say, have to just suck it up.

Clutch master shouldn't cost that though, unless it's a gold one !

That's the best one that's available

Re: Clutch judder at low rpm

Yeah some easy movement in the mounts with a pry bar, more than I could assume should be there. New ones ordered from autodoc so just waiting for them now. Thanks all [emoji1303]

Re: CV Boot Split!

I used a plastic shampoo bottle, to make a boot shaped cowl , slit down the side to slip over the boot. And around the shaft. Taped in place tightly and was fine for several weeks till I could fix it properly [emoji1303]

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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...

Re: Clutch judder at low rpm

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

Clutch judder at low rpm

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...

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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...

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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...

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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]

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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...

Re: EJ20 Engine Overheating - Solutions?

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...
