First port of call must be the ignition switch.

That was my first thought but as the ignition lights and the glow plug light goes on and off with the key, leaving the engine running I'm not so sure

Can anyone help? Twice over the last month I've driven the van to destination turned it off and removed the key..... Van still running :? Put the key back in turn to 2nd position drive van 100 yard, stoped turned off removed key.... Van stops Is it the fuel cut off solonide on the pump or could it b...

Thanks for your reply that helps a lot. I only have a passenger swivel seat and I don't mind cutting into the van so 93 seats will be on the cards :ok Found a couple of pics of the underside on fleebay these are 9-3 seats they have a couple of extra fixing points that will unbolt off the slider htt...

9-3 seats don't sit on 2 runners as the 900 seats do. They are bolted to a base that incorporates the runners slider adjustment mech and the hight adjustment mech (drivers) then this base is bolted to the car. After a bit of head scratching the best way I found for the drivers was..... remove the sw...

Trouble is I don't have a leisure battery you see and was trying to avoid fitting one, I already have the 12v strip lights of course but I'm not sure how much I can actually use those without flattening the starter battery. You could fit a smart charger so it keeps the starter battery topped up whi...

That's great, thank you very much sir.
Just a potentially silly question..... Why the smaller pulley? I'm assuming it's to keep the waterpump spinning at the correct rpm so as the van runs at the correct temp and not just to accommodate the belt?

Working on T3's day in day out I can safely say the JX is a much better engine. Spare parts availability is miles better as similar engines are used in so many other vehicles. Sadly the same cant be said of the wbx. Agreed the double belt system is an abortion but easily remedied with a new smaller...

We took the kids over the weekend and they loved it! The campsite is lovely although the village green is just as nice and closer to the pub, there were a few vans wild camping down by the lake as well. Definatly worth the trip, we came back over Birker fell, getting up was alright it was getting do...

The quiet site is very nice, excellent facilities, open fire and good bar but it is expensive http://www.waterfootpark.co.uk/ is a nice site, has it's own bar and only a five minutes walk into Pooley Bridge with its 3 pubs That's a good shout especially as the price is all in! I'm finding it increa...

If your already heading up the M6 then up to Penrith and back down is normally the quickest way but we live in Kendal so normally go through the lakes http://www.sykeside.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://www.thequietsite.co.uk/" onclick="window.open...
