We need a bit of Peak District advice, we had a booking at a lovely site on the Tissington Trail for the bank holiday weekend, only to find they have double booked us!!! I have been phoning round to try and find a nice place for 2 vans but there appears to be no room at the inn.. Can anyone recommen...

Back in one peice! The van broke down again the morning after Land's End - thought it was just some new brake pads that were needed as it was starting to grind.. turned out we needed a new caliper (sp?) apparently it was a close call as the garage reckoned the brake fluid could boil and leave us wit...

sorry Hacksawbob yep its the 1.9 petrol.

We are the support vehicle for Macmillian cancer support lands end to John o grotes cycle ride leaving tomorrow morning. I've spoken to another mechanic who thinks def something to do with the fuel line or pump.

I've tried charging the battery, its firing but not catching, spoke with a mechanic first thing who suggested a few things it could be connected to the fuel pump - pipes incorrectly attached (I dont think its that as I was watching when my other half attached it) wrong part, etc. The local mechanic ...

But seriously I need help, like asap. I'm gonna be in so much trouble if I cant get it on the road.

If I could make a pocket mechanic I'd be very well off

Help! We need the van to work by tonight. Were based in salford, can anyone recommend a machanic that can come out to us???

Thanks for the diagram but grrr Oh bother!, we have put the gaskets in the right order but actually next to each other not with the pedistle (2) between, we didnt realise there was something underneith we need to take out. I dont think I can do this tomorrow with the baby strapped to me I think I mi...

Sandwich, I dont understand, I'm I sandwiching the pump?

OK forgive my terminology but now I know we have done something wrong as we put both gaskets under the pump (where the screws are) I think we need to take one out and put it somewhere else. Hmm from you post I think the small one needs to come out of there and go somewhere else... If we just take it...

It's charging now... just to double check.. there were two small plates that came with the fuel pump, these do go underneith it dont they?

I did think of that. But it is wedged in. I got the wires unscrewed and tried to pull it out then realised that the chair plate is a cm or so over the hole and the lid curves round to form a ridge that wedges the battery in. I think I would need to shift the chair plate somehow... Lordy its like pul...

So we have done it! After much wiggling as the new part's top arm bit was bigger than the old ones, we didnt change the rubber pipe, but it does need to go to the garage this week to get the indicator done so I'll get them to check it's safe. The only problem now is that we have a flat battery, and ...

Sorry I've still got baby brain Its a 1.9 petrol and its easy to get to, the AA man pointed it out to me, right on top.
