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...
^^^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...
I just rubbed mine down with some fine wet and dry paper, sprayed them with grey filler primer and top coated with satin black from the local car parts store. They look loke new but need redoing every few years to stay nice. Cheap to do though and a bit of fun!!
As I understand it, electric fridges will run your leisure battery down to around half in a weekend. I assume for a longer trip you should have EHU or solar panels?
I have just picked up a pair of very nice captains seats which have the adjustable height armrests. I was just looking at some pictures on the internet and noticed that there is another type of armrest which has an external bolt attaching it to the seat but seems to have no vertical position adjustm...
