Or you might get away with doing what I have to, I swivel the chair so that it's back faces the windscreen, then slide it all the way back towards the windscreen. That leaves me with *just* enough room to tilt the battery and pull it upwards.

Yours might be stiff like mine (ooer). The thick wire bit has a loop at the end and located as if between your ankles should you be sitting in the seat. We push it down about two centimetres then have to shove/pull the seat really hard to turn it clockwise. I've found it easier to do it with the pas...

The water pipe under the crank pulley was a real bu66er to get hold of for us as gsf nor any of the bus places have them in stock due to being obsolete. I took the old one to a few engineering places, none of which would make it up for me. In the end, we got a 2nd hand one from someone breaking a T2...

Thanks Syncro G, I'll look into doing that, I guess it will take some of the fun out of town-driving though.

My speedo bounces between 15 mph and 45 mph when I'm trying to do about 30, so I tend to only let it bounce as high as 30 or so when going past a camera

Mr Baxter, You appear to be answering the question I was about to post! I have two securon 3-point seatbelts for the rear of our van. I unfortunately got them from JustKampers (I didn't think to ask you for them!). My problem arises because the securon belts need to have the reel-housing upright to ...

Sin123, I had the same problem with my 1.9 watercooled whereby it seemed to dissappear into nowhere from the tank behind the flap. First, there was no visible leak, but the header tank looked a bit manky and melted by previous owner. I replaced the header tank with a proper new one. The pressure mus...

I pm'd you Scooby, as I haven't started mine yet...

Someone in Buckingham has their DAF LDV ex-post office van painted with the A-Team set up.

All, If I was to consider fitting a replacement engine for the 1.9 water cooled DG, will I be able to do away with the increasingly obsolete coolant-system parts? In particular the thermostat housing/thermostat and the pump with all it's metal pipes into the block etc? I've read the sticky FAQ about...

According to GSF, they aren't:

Does anyone know of a European outfit that might still have one of these ? Everywhere in the UK don't have one!

Hmm, I think that just might be the fella. I'll double check with the garage, and then buy the thing if it allows me. You're a great help Mr H.

Yup - I did that yesterday cheers. But, I could only seem to find models > 1990 on there - I must be looking in the wrong bit.

It's in the garage at the moment, but I've a feeling the thermostat housing is separate further to the left and up a bit. Which would make it a later DG, but that wouldn't make sense if the later water pipe doesn't fit right?
