Good news to report...There is life in the engine 8) Had it running for a couple of minutes and it sounds really nice...To say I'm chuffed and buzzing my nips off is an understatement. Thanks goes out to Ian for his methodical approach, It wasn't all plane sailing. We began with checking out the rep...

Is it not done yet? :grin: If you need another spare motor I know where there's a motronic b230 with only 70k on it. Sounds interesting! How many £pretty greens£ are you looking for? I take it being Motronic (ECU) it's fuel injected? has it got a turbo and all the wiring. I will give you a shout on...

On the clutch problem, I wonder if due to the thickness of the adaptor plate the slave cylinder has run out of travel ? Easily checked by measuring the overall lenth of the slave and push rod before and after fitting. I know someone spoke of welding 2 thrust bearings together on a DIY conversion to...

Hello Folks The Van has been moved and now in a new home. A good friend from work has offered to help me get it back on the road as well as let me have a little slot in his Nissan hut. Ian is a bit of a Guru with Buses and likes a challenge. A big thanks goes out to him. :ok First thing he did was c...

Thanks for your comments and advise. I have good news to report. The camper has been taken away today by A.C Services (North Newton somerset). A colleague from work helped me out. After making contact and explaining the conversion story trail and tribulations to date. Andy (A.C) did not like the ide...

Hello I have tried looking on ebay etc..can a member please recommend the correct/ideal electrical tool that will easily remove the connected ends on the plugs conected below and for removing the ones in the back of the relay plate. Pulling them out by hand doen't always work :oops: and would it als...

Started the day on a buzz....Cranked the engine up without the spark plugs in about 20 full revolutions..took the cambelt cover off to check I had TD mark on first cylinder...spark plugs back in..cam cover back on... I then rewired the solenoid and swapped the connections to the header tank...becaus...

seams that your getting very close to the finishing keep at it. neil Thanks Neil...starting to get a little excited..if she starts up tomorrow and runs ok..I will be pushing through the other jobs I need to get out of the way..get her up and ready for an Mot..give her a wash to start with.. :oops: ...

On the clutch problem, that amount of free play before the bearing meets the diaphragm looks about right. Can't comment on the electrics but 0.3 bar is only 5 psi, crank it over some more with the plugs out to get some oil pressure and to fill the filter (easier on the battery and starter if there'...
