The block connector on alternator had come loose

Hi Guys, Planning on do some testing tomorrow but i have had a look around the battery for anything suspicious. I've put my meter across my leisure battery and starter battery. With the engine off my leisure battery is showing 11.4 and starter battery 10.6. The figures are similar with the engine st...

Lots of useful info so hopefully will help others test too.

Will update once I've investigated further!

Just gotta find a friend now.....

Hi Guys, I've been experiencing a serious clutch judder problem when pulling away so i've pulled the gearbox out today and planning to replace the clutch, flywheel o ring seal and oil seal. Here's a pic of my flywheel, is the crack a problem? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UPoJbm3t2z8/U4I7vyFtry...

Hi yes sorry not to be clear i mean the big crankcase seal and the o ring in the flywheel as in sarrans video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaA6flr9DA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just watching that video again, with the engine still in the van is it possible to undo t...

Cool beans, yeah that's ok i've got some ramps i can use.

Cheers very much

Hi Guys, Need to replace my clutch, flywheel oil seal and crankcase oil seal. Can i get away with just removing the gearbox? I assume it'll be an easier job to remove the engine but lack of drive way and work area make that difficult. Atleast with just gearbox out i can leave it in the back of the v...

Thanks. Welded it along the bottom and cut the slit back in.

Gear change is also much better now as had to readjust the clutch cable to refit. Been meaning to do it for a while so all's well that ends well. My van has a funny way of forcing my hand to get those little jobs done

Hi guys, Just as i got to work this morning i thought my clutch cable had snapped but on further investigation it#'s the linkage between the clutch cable and the clutch pedal. The metal bracket that the end of the cable with the ball on it attaches to. the part on the far left of this image http://w...

It passed :ok Hydrocarbons down to 837 I'm gonna go do a dance. For future reference I reset the volume mixture screws to 2.5 turns, removed the air filter from the box, disconnected the oil breather and tightened the manifold nuts as they were a little loose. Also took it for a good drive. Reset th...
