Re: Newbie Question
Im no expert but after looking at a few campers when i was buying last year, i dont recall any of them having any wood under the rear cushion..They all have seemed to have a very thin corded type carpet or nothing at all under it. Can you detatch the wood from the cushion (if it is attached) and try...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
Hi After reading this thread from the start, one question you have to answer yourself is, are you happy with your bus. Steve The answer to this is yes I am. I'm not going to modify it, nor am I going to sell it. It's a great bus in very good condition. I've had time to think about it, I'm happy if ...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
What are these modifications you speak of? The only one I can think of is not cheap and rather complex :shock:[/quote] I'm no expert but the 2.1 engine model basics between versions should be similar ie bore and stroke, timing etc , and the type of fuel injection will be similar,so I would imagine t...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
Look at it a different way. If the DJ has been tuned to run on unleaded then it won't be producing 112 BHP anyway. SS engines are less likely to throw their conrods through the crankcase and are a lot smoother. True, I've had last night to think about it,and today also, I'm going to contact the dea...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
i think that your finding problems that are not there, is there a problem with the engine thats installed in your van mechanically that is? the 2.1 wbx engines (i have had a dj and mv) that i have owned have have had a nice power curve and there was not too much between them, personally i preferred...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
So are there any other differences in the 'SS' to 'DJ' engines other than low compression-high compression ?

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
Before you believe the v5 check the m code sticker, it's a little White stick on label. On mine it's below the dash by the steering column. It will give you engine size and engine code as well as all the other options fitted at the factory. There is probably a way to tell by looking at the engine, ...

Re: Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
Hi thanks for that. It doesnt state the power output of the engine on the V5. the only reference to the engine is 2109cc which I did check when I viewed it. Luckily I have printed out the original advert when I brought it, which states it is a suppost to be 112bhp, so I have a good case. Thing is th...

Are all 2.1 petrol models Injected ?
Ive recently brought a Holdsworth Villa 3 camper from a dealer, It was sold to me described as a 2.1 injection with 112 bhp..After looking around in magazines etc it seems that there are several versions of the 2.1 engine dependant on the engine number, and i believe these are; Code SR = 2100cc 87bh...

Re: Self opening side door !
You'll probably find that a small adjustment of the large pin bolted to the door frame will cure it. I did look at that pin,(and most other things I thought would be a problem) and it looks like it all lines up ok.When the door does shut it lines up perfectly.. And when checking the door whilst sli...

Re: Self opening side door !
It has done this since I've owned it (which isn't very long tbh) only its got a bit worse the more I use it. I had a look on the wiki pages and it may be what's described as the problem. I've not had a chance to look at it yet but hope to tomorrow. I was going to go to the new Forrest this weekend i...
