Wow! Thanks for the great replies everyone.

You'll know my van well ajsimmo as it's been to Campershack loads of times. (Craig in West Bridgford)

I've got the carat alloys so would like to stick with them.

All good food for thought
Cheers

Hi all, I replaced my 1.6TD JX engine with a 1.9TD AAZ a couple of years back. I kept the old gearbox I'm really pleased with how it's running but I get very high revs - 1st gear non existent and into 5th by 30mph - I've got used to it now but... I saw something about putting bigger tyres on. Can an...

I'm looking to replace my battery at the moment for my 1.9TD AAZ engine. Would you recommend the battery you linked to Martin or would I be better off with this one that I found on another post: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Varta-Silver-E44-Heavy-Duty-Car-Battery-77AH-SIZE-096-5-YEAR-WARRANTY-/2520...

Did you get this battery Kit? Has it done the trick?

I'm thinking of getting it for my 1.9TD

Cheers

fixed it! I had put it back together wrong - slave cylinder bracket then the starter motor instead of the other way around. So the starter motor wasn't sitting flush and I guess the slave cylinder was slightly out of place so not working properly. Took me a good half hour of staring at it to realise...

Yep, sounds like I've put it back together wrong. It was fine before I took it off.

cheers

thanks for the replies. I think you're onto something with the slave cylinder. It was a 1.6TD JX but that blew up last year so it's a 1.9TD AAZ now. I did wonder what the bell shaped thing was that's attached to the starter motor. I had trouble getting it back on so gave it a few taps with the old c...

I'm having a shocking run of bad luck with my van at the moment. Any advice will be very gratefully received. I was having starting problems so with the help of youtube and this site I removed starter motor, checked it, replaced it, cleaned all cables, connectors etc. - put it all back together and ...

found 'em - HB1/9004 apparently

Hmm, just double checked as I doubted myself but they are definitely the wrong fittings. My old bulbs have a much bigger black plastic fitting and the 3 pins at the back are different sizes. Ah, well. I'll keep looking.

sorted it - works like a dream. Thanks for the heads up. £2.52 - Happy Days!

mine just arrived. how do I get the old ones off?

Bugger! Bought these on e-bay but they're the wrong ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150814761310?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; can anyone tell me where to get the right ones for a Westfalia, California with square headl...

Cheers Martin, I reckon I'll go for some pink stuff then.

I took my headlights off, emptied the water out and dried them out like you suggested. I think I sorted the problem. Cheers for the advice on how to do it. My wife was well impressed with me.
