are you sure its the sender? i have a 1.9DG 1985 with an erratic temp gauge and i read somewhere recently that an electrical fault is common in the instrument dashpod..

hi steve.. looking at doing something similar myself.. my research has given me JK ... http://www.justkampers.com/cigar-lighter-socket-12v.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and there is roadpro. http://www.roadpro.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fa...

Engine was running badly before the distributor cap problems,.. Which is why I am opting to change the leads and the coil.. And I'll see what state the distributor is in the process. Cheers.

to add to this.. note that ...just before this event, i was suffering from intermittent loss of power and misfire. I do have spark, but the engine runs very lumpy.. The coil seems bottom of the class to me in terms of bad behaviour.. but not sure about the state of the dizzy since the duffing up it ...

lots of pertinent points raised there Kev. I will need to have a closer look at the coil, but first inspection doesnt throw up much in the way of info.. it states the obvious, and thats about it.. As regards the distributor.. is the plate beneath the rotor arm supposed to be loose? i suspect not.. i...

i am having electrical cut-out issues and have opted firstly to fit a new ignition kit; having problems selecting the right parts though. Just Kampers are offering a distributor and cap for £118.. but it turns out that the cap is the pin type - a later version than the one existing.. (i think the pi...

It pains me to retell this debacle but I could do with some advice here.. The story: back in january i embarked on getting some windows cut into my panel van. I didn't want the protruding rubbers common to standard panel van conversions, so I went for getting a complete cut section welded in place f...

Tubbsveedubs in gaydon may be closer for you.. Speak to Gary.

My van is with jim in farringdon just now for some bodywork repairs and can't fault the work he does..

I thought about getting a piece of laminated toughened glass cut to size but was abruptly told that I would be a millionaire if I could do it, as toughened glass invariably shatters..

My plans here are totally scuppered by a void of glass suppliers.. Does anyone know anyone who works in toughened glass who can make a custom glass panel for a non-exorbitent price? Otherwise this is dead in the water.

quite right chaps... filler in the seam.. its coming off.

Cheers
