Re: Fridge PC fan mod topics?
I used PC fans with my dometic absorption fridge . I didn't buy them as a kit as they are very cheap to buy on eBay. I used a bank of three fans for the Fins at the back of the fridge, and two fans for the fins inside the fridge itself. I simply wired them in with fuses and switches. Seems to boos...

Re: worth a punt?
Recently sent the exact same unit from my 1986 Autohomes syncro Komet to Propex leisure. Unit was not igniting. Refurbish and repair approximately one hundred pounds. Good company to deal with an unit now working perfectly.PhilmcC

Re: Blown head gasket
I've got a Holman engineering stealth DG -- 2.1 DJ.Goes very well indeed, plenty of torque, and quite different from the DG engine. Mine is on syncro 1.9 DG carburettor which works fine.PhilmcC

Re: 1.9DG to 2.1DJ engine swap
The 1.9 DG engine that I rebuilt lasted about 800 miles and disintegrated on the M 40 in some style. Following that Ian Holman built me a refurbished 2.1 DJ working on the carburettor. It has transformed my syncro. More power across the board no problem with hills very happy cruising around 60, and ...

Re: Campervan Ovens
Used a Remoska for years. Works well and versatile. Comes in 400 W and 550 W forms. No problem running off electric hook up. Quite expensive now. philipmcC

Re: radiator fan wiring
Yes I do have the relay and the fuse is okay. The radiator fan just stopped working and I had a problem with overheating. I guess it could be the radiator fan switch at the radiator. When I powered up the fan separately it made a rumbling noise and didn't go very quickly. It's the three leads from t...

radiator fan wiring
In the middle of replacing the radiator fan on my 2.1 W BX van. Have dropped radiator and removed the cowl . The wiring to the back of the old fan was two red wires to one post, and and an off white wire to the other. The new fan I've got from brickwerks has three wires, a red wire with a black str...

Re: Sliding door won't shut
I had the same problem. Checked YouTube for explanatory videos. Several on their very helpful. Having taken the door card off I have given the mechanism a good spray of WD-40 followed by lubrication with three in one oil, seems to have done the trick. I would have a go at disassembling if not succes...

Re: Replace 1.9 Engine with 2.1 or Subaru?
I have a 2.1 WBX stealth engine on carburettor built by Ian of Holman Engineering.
It is an excellent engine and does everything I would want in my syncro Autohomes Komet.
