I have a bog standard 1987 1.9DG and I want to replace the temperature gauge sender. In the thermostat housing there are two units, one pointing to the left and is blue, and one facing forwards which I cannot currently get to. Can anyone tell me what new parts I need to order for both of them? I ass...

Are my front seats supposed to have a plastic glide rail, part 8 on the drawing, on both sides or just one side of the seat?

Or you could just not bother like 99% of the rest of the population!! I went to France on the tunnel recently and I think I was the only UK car with headlight beam stickers!!

Colour can be changed and it has a trip meter. Not the best photo I am afraid and it lines up properly in real life!

I thought I would post an update, Aidan is correct the dial face is 97mm but the diameter of the numbers is about 85mm. I have got a new speedo cable from brickworks and that has stopped the needle from wobbling but the speedo makes a grating sound at 30mph and higher  so I think my speedo is on it...

You can buy a lot of speedo cables for the price of a GPS widget. Why try to reinvent the wheel? Is there an installation fault? The cables should have a P clip to secure them to the front underframe iirc I just couldn't stop my speedo clicking loudly and the needle jumping all the time. I drove me...

I bought mine from GoWesty in the USA. They are $175 which works out around £175 or thereabouts when including postage, and there is no VAT or import duty to add on. It is brilliant!! You can set the mileage to your current mileage and it has a button which I mounted just above my headlight switch f...

Mine broke and I fixed it. It broke again. It is the earth for the horn but my horn still works so it is staying broken!!!

^^^WHS^^^ I have spent a lot on my van. More than I could ever get back if I ever considered selling it. (Not that I would) Engine and gearbox rebuild. Back to bare metal.Panels replaced and a respray. Me too, but I now have a fantastic and reliable van. I just recently fitted a GPS speedo, new das...

I wouldn't consider worrying over resale value and all the ideas of whether it's worth it or not. I'm not sure why there is ever a concern over whether you will get the money back or not! No-one thinks that way with new cars and people happily lose thousands of pounds!! If you love your van and want...

I considered fitting an oil pressure gauge to my 1.9DG but there is no way you can fit a pressure sender to either of the pressure switch locations as there is not enough clearance. I have seen remote fitting kits which basically run a pipe from the switch location to a location somewhere where ther...
