Good morning everyone, having a problem getting a new waterpump to pump water from the tank in the back of my van . I've checked the small push switch byte fridge with a multimeter works fine and checked there's current at the end of the wires where it connects to the pump, so I thought it must be t...

Fluid reservoir is full no leaks but bottom of engine is stinking of heard oil sounds like the clutch seal has gone? Can I replace the clutch myself do I need to take the engine out to work on it

Ok we' ll I shall update tomorrow on the progress , how do I know if the master cylinder has gone ?

No it's not yet down at the garage got to go see it tomorrow I probably will fix it myself as I don't like paying for help . Yes I will check the slave and master cylinder. Do these normally go? The van has done 81000 miles I thought it might be a linkage pin or bracket?

1.9 watercooled c reg caravelle

Evening everyone, just had my van recovered after losing power on the road tried changing down but still losing power until eventually putting it in 1st at a roundabout made a sudden jault then the clutch pedal went completely slack... And the gear stick wouldn't select anything? I let everything co...

Yes ok that's fine, yes I understand not exactly half throttle. Yes I'll put some brushes in the alternator, do u know where I can buy them possibly?

That's just idling ill check again at half throttle no rev counter on the bus? So it has to be up at 14v or its not charging? Will I need to recondition my alternator?

Charged the battery full for 14 hours checked across the terminals and it was reading 13.2v I attached to the bus and let the engine warm up for a while idling the battery was reading 12.6 I then put all the instruments on in the dash with stereo and it s reading 12.2 v. Which to me sounds low but ok?

It's a caravelle I have no idea which conversion it is I am completely new to these vehicles and bought simply as an experience and good easy vehicle to work on , or basic mechanics apart from the lpg which is whole new system for me as well. I just don't understand why the previous owners spent hun...

Yes 1.9 petrol with lpg conversion. And yes I have a very good multimeter :]

Well we've had trouble since we had it , the battery indicator is saying the battery is ok, but there does seem to a constant drain or the bus isn't recharging the battery under the seat? Yes how do u check the starter battery? I haven't done much electrical work for a long time .. Thank you

The battery which is under the drivers seat was flat just charged it an hour an gone out and the dash warning lights have come on but not enough charge to turn the engine over? That's fair enough another confusion is that everything seems to be wired to the battery under the seat for the engine and ...

Hi everyone , went out last night to check the water pump switch in the panel above the fridge with a multimeter, which was fine, went back out this morning to drive the bus and I have no electrics at all? All fuses are correct the leisure battery is running because the internal lights work , just n...

Ah ok so the paint code is not in the vin number? So it's on another badge or sticker in the bus?
