update...I have calmed down a little and returned home to nr Southampton. Our 3 month trip is a little on the rocks. Its v frustrating as whatever this fault is has stumped my garage.

Hi Paul Its a 1986. Im in romsey. Thats a very kind offer to look at it. Garage have given it back tonight hoping that they have solved it, I think they've cleaned tank out and fitted a fuel lift pump (?). I will take it out for a good run later and see how it is. Fingers crossed!! Thanks, simon

sorry, it is a 1.9dg petrol engine.

Thanks for the replies, simon

Hi Can anyone help as I am getting little desperate. On sat, we are going for 3 mnths as far as Albania which currently seems a long way off!! Van had problem last year, at speed (50+), would start spluttering. But generally fine at low speed. Had carb cleaned/tuned, no change. Eventually new coil a...

thanks for all your responses, will have think bout things suggested

Hi, any help on the following would be appreciated: 1.9 watercooled splutters in 4th gear, usually when cruising around 60/65. Taking foot off gas then gently putting foot down usually solves without losing too much speed. Will then be ok for another 5-10 miles when it will do it again. Never done i...

ok, thanks for replies. I will move on and may take another look at that old tap.

Thanks guys

Thanks for your replies. It seems my previous tap was probably knackered so I will get on and buy another one.

Hi Can someone tell me what is a suitable tap for my sink on my 1986 autosleeper? The system didnt work when I bought the van so I fitted a new pump (30psi shurflo 12 v pump) which is turned on when needed in usual way. The previous tap was either faulty or wasnt correct type as when I turned the pu...

Hi, I was wondering if people could help. I think I have done my research but perhaps people could confirm if Merc alloys 7Jx15 H2, ET 35 will fit my 1986 T25 high top? Tyres currently on there are 195/65/R15. Also I have purchased some lowering springs CWC 50-60mm red and was intending to also fit....
