Why would i not drill holes in the door?
id i weld up the OEM holes and attach the landy mirrors direct to the door it would look a far cleaner install. I think ill order the mirrors and go from there.

HI Scott,
I probably wont need the adapters as want to fix them direct to the door.
Which model of mirrors did you buy? the Britpart ones?
Cheers

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but i am looking at putting Landy mirrors on my van, Any reason i cant just drill a couple holes in the door skin and put some 5mm plate behind as a strengthener and attach the mirrors to this. Meaning i dont need the adaptors? Also are all the mirrors the same qualit...

I had this on my van. Exactly same thing, it was the O ring on the fuel sender.

As above get compression tested,
Then drop the engine to investigate further.
If you have a nice warm shed rebuilding a CU motor is a great winter project.
Talk to Sarran and check out his youtube vids.
Good luck

No pics at the mo but i can take some. i basically bend the rolled piece of metal directly below the push pull locking mech. and attached it there. Left me know if you need pics and ill try and take some.

Cheers. ill get one on order.
Im 8mm from tank to engine bay anyway as olf mech pump needed that.
Will update when it arrives, will get the switch for the manual/off/auto working too.

Me again. I installed the pump today, Wire from back of alternator along chassis rail up into battery compartment. no switch as of yet as i thought i had one but i dont. My only issue is that the pump doesn't seem to pump much fuel. a slow dribble at best. It constantly keeps clicking too. I presume...

An update on my Pump, It failed after about 6months. Not quite sure how or why. Schofields refunded me so that was fine. I managed to get my old one working again but that has now died. Over the weekend im going to instal a £15 ebay facet style pump. Wired up to the blue alternator wire. Fingers cro...

Hi Boxy what size and where did you get the silicone hosing from?

Sounds ideal. and the override switch also a good idea, when this is activated the 'gen' light on the dash will go out too im guessing!? If i dont end up in the pub this evening this will be tonights mission. I will update when i have it installed with maybe a pic or two. Other thing i was consideri...

I fitted this about 6months ago nice easy install on the cab doors once you work it out. as for the side door. I spent ages getting this working but in the end i disconnected it. I always drive with the slider locked (early van) have heard problems with doors opening when driving. but with the centr...

It wont self prime. So i have a £15 ebay Facet pump to install. i was planning an elaborate wiring system w...
