Hi Oldie, yes I think the hot spots and uneven heat distribution might be showing a lack of flow. I meant to say heat not "even", meaning lack of flow. When I bleed from the top of the rad there is a short hiss of air then cold water spurts out. this is after the engine gets up to 57 degre...

I already had the catastrophe. The van van overheated whilst moving house and the pressure blew a pipe off. I tried to use a thermal imager thisafternoon to see what was going on. It seems the heat in the pipes is not even suggesting lack of flow. Which pipe goes direct to the blower - is it the sma...

Thanks, i'll order a new water pump asap. I did hear some strange squeaking sounds coming from the alternator area today...

Hi, I'm fearing the worst as my 1.7 KY may have head gasket issues. The engined coolant light flashes and sometimes I get heat from the vents sometimes not. The rad takes ages to get hot as if there is no coolant circulation. Mate at work thinks it might just be a simple think like the water pump? I...

I love my hardtop, as both kids can sleep up there and provides extra storage space.

Hi, I got this from fleabay last year. Wife likes to do her hair and have strong proper coffee :roll: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mobitronic-by-Waeco-8200-012VS-2Kw-Inverter-/141264008227?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_BoatEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item20e3fdb423" onclick="window.open(this...

Hi, covkid and thanks. I followed the DVD I got from you a while back. I found that using acetone thinners left overnight went on slightly better. I painted at 8am due to my van looking like a giant leaf for the afternoon bugs to sit on. Up close it's not perfect as I needed to roll over black ferta...

Great technique. One coat down two to go, here are the results. :D Used mixed with white spirit on the front, mixed with thinners left overnight on the rest. http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad118/pmoc_2001/CIMG3147.jpg http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad118/pmoc_2001/CIMG3176.jpg http://i927.ph...

Rustolium over the Easter.

Hi, I was in your boat 3 years ago. Only just started painting. I had a lot of fun and tears doing mine. I had zip experience, just a lot of determination. Oh and I get Friday afternoons off - the only enemy is time and weather. https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=85759" oncli...

Please ignore my question as I googled it. Oil buzzer of doom!

Hi,

What is the buzzer of doom. Is it an electrical issue? I've never heard this

Love this thread! I have a KY too. From my memory during my research 2.5 years ago :roll: they were put in by the Germans so that the delivery/post vans they were installed into were more reliable. I have come to think of the engine as a generator connected to a camper van. I never did get round to ...

Hi,

Did you have much trouble replacing this. I fear I have a similar leak on the one just behind the exhaust manifold. Once out I guess its a clean up with a rag and then hit the new one in with a rubber hammer. Did you use any sealant?

Cheers

Oh dear! seems like someone have removed your BBB charger and used the space for a 'PROPEX' ? heater.....but then that begs the question of: has the original Ebberspacher heater also been removed (externally mounted under the sliding door step). And That clear sperpex box to the left of the heater....
