No play that I can feel. It happens so infrequent I can’t make out if corner affects it but I’m leaning towards right hand bend may bring it on.
CV joints have only got about 10k on them as I changed them all.

Hi Read through other posts but none seem to match up really. Very occasionally at about 15mph and just for a second or two I have noticed a knocking from the left rear, the last couple of times I’ve been out. Not a rumble like a wheel bearing but a knock, knock, knock. Goes away very quickly and on...

These are obviously not purpose made for these vans but if you can get the right size I can highly recommend them. I’ve used one in all weathers on the boot and they are superb.

Thanks. That’s a really interesting thread….some clever bods out there. Way above my head, but yes it seems like even with the wrong sender I should be at least getting a larger reading that I am with a full tank. Can anyone confirm the thinking please? Unfortunately everything is fitted and I don’t...

E D I T….the gauge randomly started working fine today. I think the float may have been stuck for some reason. Hi Just had the petrol tank replaced and of course the sender unit. The van is an E reg (‘87) therefore I got the late sender unit ‘86 on. When they added fuel the gauge moved, but there wa...

Shouldnt need to replace them that often, what type are they, where do you buy them from. there are some bad quality fuel hoses , get the ones from Brickwerks for safety. I know, but just something I have general done after finding the lines like sieves when I first bought the van. Bit of paranoia ...

Fuel lines are always a good shout. I’m good there at the moment. I replace every 2 years at least.

Thanks

Thanks  - updated the list

Hi I came to ask the same question, but saw your post. Did you get sorted? Here's what I have put together from Brickwerks not sure if I am missing anything. Fuel Tank - T3 / Late Fuel Level SenderT3 / '86> Rubber Pad for Fuel Tank - T3 / 2WD  x 4 Fuel Filler Surround - T3 Fuel Filler Rubber Neck - ...

So since you said this i learned a new thing......these exist !   On back order at Brickwerks.  Thanks

All sorted now, push rod tube replaced.

Thanks all!

Does the bus go with you in one week? It's an easy job. Certainly wouldn't take a week to fix. 2 weeks in Cornwall.....arghh.  Thanks for the reassurance...just been on YouTube :-) Going to see my guy that fitted the engine later today to hopefully get him to fit me in. I don't have access to a dri...

Grrr - just run it and i can feel a very slight knock on that tube while it's running.  Bad, right?!

Hi Folks

How bad is this?  Not leaking and engine sounds fine. It's on a new engine that's just done 500 miles....grrr, arggh....and various four letter words!  Don't ask.

I know it needs sorting but I go away in 1 week so want to know if it can wait?

Thanks folks. Solar and CRX50 on order. Bring on the cold beer! Do you need the massive capacity of a 50? its a lot of dead space when its not being used as a fridge - and it weights a lot more than an empty cupboard. We eat a lot of fresh food which tends to take up more space and it will mean whe...
