Re: quality parts manufacturers
To support a point made early on but I didn't spot early enough here's a GSF slave cylinder after 18 months/about 2500 miles. I'm replacing with a Forst from Heritage, hope I don't have to update in the same time frame. https://i.imgur.com/BU4yL29.jpeg The rubber seems thicker and it has wire clamps...

Re: Wipers stopped working

Re: Wipers stopped working
I think it's the motor. Got the multimeter out and checked wiring and relay, no problems, then I touched the motor and it was hot just off the ignition being on.
On a plus side there's a few bits I can do with the dash out. Thanks all

Re: Wipers stopped working
Thanks, I'll check the earths in the morning, makes sense because it was a sudden end with no sign of struggling first. I reckon I hexed it because going into work I thought, van's running nice.

Wipers stopped working
So, wipers are going no problem then suddenly they stop in the middle of the windscreen. It was only spitting so I made it home. No problem with the fuse. When I turn the key they make a slight move but nothing more. Any ideas? Cheers.

Coolant level sensor connector

Sure this has been asked before but any idea of where I can get the above connector for the coolant level wiring? Currently using two sleeved spade connectors after replacing the old brittle wiring but there's probably a reason why this should only be temporary.

Haven't got an air-cooled but very much appreciate your videos; you really are very good at explaining things in such anyway that it makes sense.

Re: More Fuel Pipe Issues.
It's because for the longest time quality parts were made by lots of small companies for a price that reflected the quality, then big companies wanted a bit of that money so made the same parts but for cheaper so stockists took those to get a better margin. Then the original quality company stopped ...

Re: Can Solex 34 -4 carb be swapped to a 34-3?
When I was trying to sort my Pict 5 I found 4's on UK eBay but no 5's. Maybe seller would be willing to post overseas? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235467811703

Sorry - "With the wife's help, we towed her onto level ground and had a fiddle."
Surely you should have fixed the van first?
