Update! I just took the grille off and the heater intake grille. Absolutely dry in there and no smell. I ran the heater blower to the windscreen and footwells and no smell. No damp carpets either. I am beginning to think either something sneaked in and died somewhere or it must be the sink, even tho...

Just this week my van has developed a nasty stagnant water smell inside. I have had it before coming up the sink drain from the waste tank but this time it is not that. I also had a car some years ago where the washer bottle water went stagnant with the same smell, but it isn't that either. I think ...

Soaking the new seal in hot water from a kettle before fitting makes it a million time easier!

Original assembly of this type would not have been lubricated. When you think about it, why would it need to be? All brand new parts!

 

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...

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...
