We have an air awning. It slides into the c channel fixed to the van and with a drive away strip allows you to drive off and leave it standing if you have one that has a gap between the main room and the van which I think most have.

I’ve used it in the past. It will only creep into where it’s needed so just run a tiny bead around the rubber to the metal and it’ll flow into any gaps.

As mentioned plus check the inlet manifold gasket.
Get someone to carefully spray some carb cleaner around it and see if it picks the revs up.

Does it leak, I can’t tell by properly by the photo?

I now use Buzzweld Chassis Guard. Easy to apply and a little goes a long way. You need to touch up areas after about 6 months but as it’s easy to use it’s not been a problem. Previously I had used Waxoyl, both clear and black but I found that it corroded underneath especially on the trailing arms th...

When my van started to have a bad idle and then cut out at junctions it was the inlet manifold. By spraying carb cleaner around this area while someone sat in it to keep it ticking over the revs picked up indicating a leak. As mentioned it’s easy to check the coil/ ht leads with a multi meter.

It looks worse than it is, honestly.

Have you put your hand up there to see there’s any fluid around the cylinder just to rule out the brake master? To put the pushrod in just guide it in by hand while manoeuvring the new part with your other hand. I watched a few videos for help although like you mine was rhd. https://youtu.be/ra5VvaF...

It’s not too bad to do. You just need to get down to the same level. You’ll find your own comfortable spot! I didn’t have any problems with the connections but if you’re a bit worried give them a clean and a spray with plusgas prior to undoing. There’s a few good how to videos on YouTube. Get a dece...

Wow!

You can buy them new or as others have done make your own out of something like an old for sale sign. There’s a template on the Samba forum and probably on the wiki on here.

I changed mine after experiencing the odd problem changing up after a long motorway run. It was nice and smooth afterwards. It gives you a chance to inspect the magnetic drain plug too.

Try Powerspark.
