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

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

What is best penetrating oil to use to free off the pin. Not in any hurry so can afford to make many applications to free it up. Thanks pMcC

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 ...

Best of luck with the first start Ian. It looks absolutely great. Looking forward to seeing pics!.philmcC

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

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...

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. Will go ahead with the loom upgrade and new bulbs.philmcC

Sorry if this has been discussed before. Which is better, converting headlamps to LED, or using the campervan culture new wiring kit with extra relays?.philmcC

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...

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.

This happened after my ignition light started flickering and then went out. Looked at all the bulbs and wiring for the dashboard and ignition switch, no issues. Had a look in the engine bay and found the blue wire to the alternator had come adrift. Cleaned it all up and reattached and bingo everythi...
