That would be great, cheers Lloyd. I'm constantly amazed by the lengths that the yanks go to with everything. I wonder what they would make of some of the lash ups we get lumbered with over here :lol: Just wish I had a way of working on my van inside. I've trawled the classifieds and drawn a blank. ...

Lloyd, I've read lots about the pressure differences etc, is there any real evidence to support it?
I want to change mine which will be like jaegers I guess, but if there's a proven better option then maybe I'll change the plan.

Sorry to put a downer on your find. Some More info if it helps. This was a very popular conversion in the early 90's. My van had 3 of these engines. The original was done in 1993 and the van has done nearly 300k km on them. Trouble is they are only good for 60-70k before things get tired. The major ...

Sorry didn't see the reference to clay bars in your post!

I'm no expert, but I'd advise steering clear of cutting compound.
Had loads on mine after a small repair. Was advised on the detailers forum(yes I know!!)
To use a clay bar. Got a meguiers ?? Kit from halfords.
It's shifted the lot and left me with an amazing finish. Amazing stuff.
Look it up.

Great thanks for the link.

Hi there, I can't help with the syncro info unfortunately, but I can offer some advice regarding the 2.8 v6 you have. I had one in my van. Honestly I would be very very cautious. They run very hot. Mine overheated several times. I now have a tdi! Yes it had plenty of power, but these engines can be ...

Just read that. Love it. I can see some Dehler t3 and t4 similarities in some of the pics. Have never seen any of those concepts before. Will be following this one

Yes it works fine, but looks gash I think. Also the pipes rub on the chassis.
Would like to make it look a bit more pro. That set up should work nicely with some tweaks.

Funnily enough Lloyd, I am going to change it to the same as above. Saw that thread before and thought it looked fantastic. Like the idea of a fan too

There's heaps of room. Incidentally mine was done by the same specialist that did lloyds

Mike, my engine was put in upright. Does leave more space in the engine bay.

Thanks Mike. The inner skin finishes above the bottom bolt and the top bolt fits the outer through a recess in the inner skin if that makes sense. There is an air gap albeit small between the 2 skins in this area.
Would be easy if I could find someone with the same set up!

Great. I've had a look, problem with Dehlers isn't the fibreglass top, it's the fibreglass panels that fit over the top half of the van.
