My first port of call was glow plugs, this made no difference,I had no power loss issues and it started every time but was taking longer and longer as the weeks went by, my first inclination that something was seriously wrong was that the the tickover was getting lower and lower. I spoke to someone ...

Check you crankshaft pullley.
if the keyway starts disintegrating it messes up the timing, then some serious "pooh" happens.

Thanks to alll for taking the time to reply,should help no end,,,,

You'll save a lot of money by NOT looking for auto specific insulation which are in my view substandard compared to the above.

Was just wondering what people pay to get a clutch changed at a garage, We just had the hire van done and they only charged me £144, which I thought was very reasonable. I supplied the clutch kit of course, but I wouldn't have done it for that...

I won't,
as it falls on the same weekend as Glastonbury.

Works like a charm :D Looks completely stock. Flat element mounted in rear of fridge, compressor unit on top. It's a waeco Coldmachine cu 55. I've tried EVERYTHING to keep the original door, I even bought a waeco compressor fridge, but it is impossible to do. (waeco MDC50 compressor fridge, fits th...

I used small rubber o rings on my old van,it worked a treat, I bought a box of different sizes from Halfords I think?
