Brilliant info OldieGoldie. I was going to breenge in and remove the lever and the cover plate :shock: and for ease remove the pump :run Thanks for the info regarding just to remove the lever. makes sense now as the cable attachment barrel that sits in the lever is at a bit of an angle and probably ...

Thanks a lot Oldiebut goodie that sounds good to me!! I've attached a photo. Is this the area you refer too? You wouldn't happen to know where to order the seal. I see brickworks do a kit but that about £30 inc postage. Being scottish i would prefer just to buy whats required :lol: thanks again Scot...

Hi All, Ive got a non starting JX Engined Van at the moment . After much worry and just as about to start checking compression etc I have found what i hope is the cause of my troubles , Fuel leak on the Fuel pump. Looks like its coming from the cold start region as its pooling underneath that area. ...

Thanks everyone " The yellow wire is now attached and the other to the c head. Oil pressure light stays flashing until engine starts. Coolant light goes off after a short period also. As I've been stupid enough to wire up wrong is the above description what should be happening??. Made the mista...

For what it's worth I thought of front bulkhead, under seat and above wheel arches also behind units at basically it's a big resonator behind those units, and above and around engine comp. Like i say not done it yet but is on th...

Cheers Tom

Hi all, I've got an 86 autosleeper, (transporter) so passenger side doesnt have an interior light. I was prodding about the other day and am sure i can feel the housing for a light o fit in behind the head lining. Before i go mental and either cut or pull the headlining away does anyone know if the ...

Hi Rob , How did you get on? I had a similar issue with air in fuel line from filter housing. I took the housing off and the unions gave them a good clean. There was quite a lot of crud in feed union do removed that and refitted unions with a little ptfe tape on threads. Although it appeared to flow...

I have heard this type of material being called 'coin dot '

Hope helps

Took off the filter housing (got the old style) cleaned up. Used some ptfe tape on unions retorqued. Also replace sections of fuel line.

All sorted now. Phew thought this was going to be a killer.

Has anyone had an issue with air apparently coming from the fuel filter assy . On idle everything is ok as soon as you raise the revs the clear fuel line fills with air. It doesn't look as if air is coming from the tank( just replaced it) I have replaced the hose from filter to inj pump. Still same....

Thx 1664, cleaned up those earth castles and replaced all the connectors. All good.
Big thanks
