Cheers, yeah I'm beginning to suspect the starter, although I thought I still might have heard it fire on one of the cylinders...or won't that happen if it turns too slow??? Anyhow the starter is a replacement 2nd hand 6 months ago so maybe that was a mistake. I've had the wiring off, cleaned all th...

Nice 1 :D beats me how stuffin a coil up her...oh back to the subject then..I'm not too bothered about te coil now anyhow, as I seem to be getting a really decent spark out the end of the HT....I'm just gonna check the plugs for good sparks now. What does concern me is that despite havin a nice powe...

Hi Guys, my van's been off the road for a while with numerous jobs needin doin (sounds familiar I'm sure!) Anyhow, she won't start now. New battery, fuel seems to be flowing OK, so I've turned my attention to the electrics...Thought I'd test the coil (green sticker) manual says primary should be bet...

Many Thanks Cate and Co. :D I knew I could rely on you for a little pick-me-up...True words all round...and as for your crewie Cate, well I've read enough to know my troubles pale into insignificance! :wink: Anyhow, all I know is if it were anythin other than a T3 I'd have binned it, but I just can'...

Now we all know that life with a van can be bumpy...but hells bells, it's draggin me down!... Due to me car being off the road (currently replacing the head) I've been havin to daily drive the poor old van. Frankly I think she's gettin just a bit tired of it!!! two weeks ago the offside drive shaft ...

Cheers Beaker n Bob, yeah that is one thing to check I guess. I have ordered the two oil pressure senders as they are so cheap and will replace them as a precaution too. Havin read a bit about the oil pressure light...some say it should flash and even be accompanied by a buzzer if it's a 'real' prob...

Hi Guys n Girls, Firstly big thanks to Ivorblueun for giving me a part number for the Voltage Regulator in a thread ages ago...although the problem in that thread appeared to be fixed by a faulty earth, it proved temporary and the real fault lay in the VR. This I ordered with Ivorblueun's part numbe...

Well, interestingly since fixing the dodgy battery earth connection the problem has not happened again! I wonder if that connection could be responsible for the alternator and regulator going into overdrive!!?? Anyhow, I'll let you know if it comes back and I've given the alternator a stearn talking...

Thanks again there boys, I'll check the alternator shortly. In the meantime I've found that the earth connector on the main battery was falling apart internally, so I've made new...that would explain the heat from earlier! In addition I'd also like to mention that the low charge light in the dash fr...

Many Thanks Douwes,

I'll certainly check out the connector for sure. Thanks for the reply...

Hi Guys, just had a great trip out with Andyvan and a bunch of mad keen surfers...great to see 'em all despite terrible weather at present...anyhow on the way back.... Suddenly my radio shuts down, and the wipers (on normal slow speed) increase thier speed to 1.5x that of usual. I also notice that t...
