OK. I will try 'shorting' the temp gauge sensor wires first and see if its the sensor that is at fault. Still a bit concerned about the coolant 'leaking' through the coolant level sensor. Could high pressure in the coolant system (due to the temp sensor not working) force coolant through the coolant...

Hi, I have searched the forum for this as i thought it would be a common problem but could not find anything relevant, so here goes..... I have noticed on the last 2 (short - under 10 miles and sat in a bit of traffic) journeys that the temp gauge indicator is not moving on the dash. It just stays f...

Thats great,thanks for all your help.

I've found fuel clips and fuel hose on j*st k*mpers. Are there any types of hose to avoid??

Hi, I've got a small popping / backfire when I lift off the accelerator after 'hard(ish)' accelerating (on a 1.9 petrol/watercooled). Never did it before but just had it MOted and its now started. Sound like a hole? Or could it be something else. Everything else is running well. I read in Haynes tha...

Hi, I am considering replacing my fuel filters on a watercooled, 1.9 petrol engine. Recent MOT suggested one was getting dirty. I can see one just after fuel tank which looks very dirty and one just before the carburettor which is not as bad (the first one is obviously filtering the worst of the gun...

I used to catch the hulleys bus from Old Brampton to Chesterfield! Not lived up there for a while but still see it now and again. so you get a bit of a turbo at higher speeds then? very nice. any idea where i might pick one up? Whats the white lever on the top for? Is it to switch to exhaust fumes i...

I've never had it and dont seem to be missing it either - no problems starting in the cold too. I'll not bother doing anything with that then. So do you just have a hole in your filter box for air to be sucked in?

Whats the story with Webber? I seem to have stumbled across something!

I dont have anything present in my van that I have circled in your diagram. My van seems to run ok but I must be losing performance and economy? The previous owner installed a twin choke Weber carb conversion - would this be sufficient to run on? How tricky would it be to install / have installed a ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I currently dont have anything attached to the input hole on the air filter box. I have also found that the engine is losing power (just not firing) at high speeds recently. I checked the air filter and its pretty dirty (although only been in for a year and i havent done ...

Hi, Should there be a hose for intake air into the air filter. I currently just have a hole in the casing of the air filter but no hose. If i should have a incoming hose where does it take clean air from. Its currently just sucking in air from the engine bay. (i do have a hose going from the air fil...

I am going to try and manually switch the value this weekend.

I have to say i wasnt expecting so many helpful responses so quickly. This is a fantastic site.

Many thanks!

My hot/cold heater cable is not connected to the lever on the dash. The cable looks twisted so i think i will need to replace it. Has anyone done this before? I followed the cable to the valve above the spare wheel. It looks a little tricky to access the value, remove the old cable, fit an new one a...
