If it's a idle solenoid that you are talking about you can do a independent check on it's functionality, it will click when disconnected then reconnected. Hope that helps a little

Pulled the leads off one by one and the tractor sound is still there, so i do believe that it must be the exhaust.
Well another winter day spent under the van is to be had

Aiden sorted me out with the gaskets, if i was you i'd grab him by the balls (not literally) and take him up on his offer. He really saved me alot of hassle.
Good luck hope you get your bus running.

Hi contact Gower & Lee,
I had a right job getting the gasket, however a fellow member helped me out.
Sorry i cant off the top of my head remember the part number.

Thanks everyone for the replies, Kevin it pops when reving it up, however still sounds like a tractor even on tick over. I have not taken a lead off to check if that makes any difference, il do that today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed it isn't anything more sinister, i was just about to buy the exhau...

Thanks Ian,
il get the wet rag out & have a go. Il contact Brickworks for quote if i have no joy in locating the problem.

Van is sweet (as now im at peace lol) i could forward the details of a well respected guy...

Isnt that the mixture screw (with tamperproof cap on)... the idle speed screw faces directly at you when looking from the back on a Pierburg 2e3. How did you correctly adjust the mixture (CO Reading)with a gas analyser if you wasnt adjusting with the mixture screw in the first instance?

Excellent video thx guy's ... iv been fretting over doing that job (not no more)

The only thing i have heard on here about how to temporarily stop this is to apply a thin coat of clear mastic... suggested on paint your wagon post. Hope that helps

Actually try this, it might work? however the topic title was Van roof lining guide.

Hope this helps

Hi i posted a guide to this previously on here, have a look as i used 3mm and found a neat way around getting the curvature of the roof to follow through. PM me if you cant find it (sorry id do you a direct link but im not sure how )
