Many thanks

Hi, could anyone confirm the drive shaft lengths on a 1980 CU engined manual van?
Thanks

Hi Bobdogs I fitted Dellortos to my 2.0CU last year to replace the knackered Solexs, they are brilliant. Cant help with the oil breather though, as I have just left the pipe open pointoing towards the back of the engine bay, do intend to fit a small filter at some point but does not seem to throw ou...

I've had the same issues with my cover, which now lets water through after 12mths ish.

I took the internal water tank out from my Viking, as when we bought the van we filled it up and it split, nicley flooding the van with quite a few litres of water! Converted the space into storage fitting a removable shelf to split the area, you can get most things in and out of the lower part thro...

Hi CJH, welcome to the club. For those of us who live in or around Nottingham I can recommend Vehicle Wiring Products Ltd, based in Ilkeston for a wide range of electrical bits and pieces and other vehicle related goodies - good website listing available products. PS I also have a Viking - might see...

I agree with Jasons mpg values, I fitted Dell 36s and have been surprised with the relative economy compared to the original Solex's, which were knac*ered.
The're not a cheap option, but once over the intial pain well worth it
Good luck

Re Status - just received a mail shot, which says Status have merged with JK, perhaps answers why people are now receiving non genuine seals?

Phew

Hi MM, ordered on the 17the Jan and were delivered in a couple of days, just been waiting for the work to be completed on the van before they were fitted last Friday.

Panicked a bit when I read this thread, as had ordered a front screen seal and rear side seal from Status, however when fitted by Dead Dubs the other day, they said they went in fine, and so far in the current snowy conditions in Nottingham have had no leaks, as I would have had before - so fingers ...

Hi Where is the best place to go to get my Dellorto 36s tuned? Fitted them about 12 months ago and originally set up locally on a rolling road, ran fine, but the guy didn't have specific Dellorto experience. Recent mot test said that the engine was running rich. Looking for recommendations preferabl...

Thanks for the replies guys, the reason I ask is that I have just bought a rev counter, and wanted to have an idea of where I should draw the limit - presuming it will reach 5000 rpm!

With regards to oil pressure, don't know as don't have a gauge for oil pressure yet.

Cheers

Hi

Quick question - what is the maximum safe rev limit for a 2.0 CU engined van?

Thanks
