Thanks for the reply!! Must've been some damp in there from condensation because after getting home from work having had nothing working all the way home, I got the dogs in the van to drive them to their morning walk, had the heater on to keep the windscreen clear and it started coming back to life ...

Hi all, Just driven home from a nightshift and had no dash lights, no temp gauge, no fuel gauge, no rev counter, no indicator lights...in fact, just the speedo was working!! I've not had this van long, and it has intermittently flashed the oil light and buzzed at me since I got it!! It is the first ...

Hi all, Before we start I'd like to say how good it was to see some of you guys at blue hills campsite in st Agnes a couple of weeks ago...we'd been there for the week in ours and it was lovely to see a load more turn up...hope you all had a good un!! Anyway, my missus has just come back from work c...

Thanks Martin, I've had the back up and given everything a good once over with a friend and everything seems fine...I've temporarily repaired the exhaust until my new one arrives and the van drives perfectly again!! It would seem I've been very lucky...more care and attention in future!! Thanks for ...

Thanks Steve, just taken her out for a spin and all seems ok bar the exhaust now blowing badly and vibrating from where the pipe exits the flange (the reason for the noise and lumpy feeling)...no leaking oil, the engine runs completely flat and doesn't vibrate, I suspect I was thinking the worst!! A...

The engine mount looks ok, is it possible that I've cracked the case where it bolts to the engine bar?!

Hi all, Just got back from an evening at the beach but unfortunately while reversing I managed to smash my engine bar into a high kerb that I didn't see really REALLY hard...since then there's been a nasty rattle from the engine bay and it seems to judder sometimes while I'm driving!! If anyone woul...

Thanks for the reply buddy, I thought stop leak might be a no go!! I'll have to whip the rad off and see what the dealio is...would happen a week after I drained, flushed and replaced the outrageously expensive coolant!!

Hi all, I got a panicked phone call from the missus telling me that there was a pink puddle under the front of the van after she used it for work!! I ran it to temp this morning and noticed coolant dripping from the nearside bottom rad mounting, which I removed and the very bottom corner of the rad ...

Hi all, My reverse light comes on when in reverse (which is nice), but flashes briefly when I select 1st and also comes on when I stick it in 4th and stays on for as long as there's any pressure on the stick!! I replaced the switch on the side of the 'box today but to no avail...need it sorting to s...

Hi, what if you tow a caravan to a site with your camper but nobody is going to be sleeping in the camper on the site but you're planning to leave the site in the camper for the odd day and possibly night out around the area...is it just your towing vehicle?!

It's a 1.9 petrol, I'm in Lincoln UK, weather is damp but not particularly cold!!
The problem only occurs when she's warmed up!!
I'll check the filter and have a look at the jets!!
Thanks

Hi, my van has started to pull back slightly whilst driving and bog down when pulling off which is making it a bit of a pain to drive. It doesn't happen from the word go, seems to start happening when the motor's warmed up, before this it's lovely to drive. It has had a weber carb, electric fuel pum...

Thanks rich, sounds like the best place to start!!
