Well they look different, length is important , I guess the old one was a bit wobbly :roll: Nasty case of eczema you have there, I'd put some cream on :rofl Funny, that’s what the wife says... I’m dailying the van for now to road test it before I go forget afield, but yes, it does seem a bit more c...

Thanks for your help, here's the comparison, new on left, old on right:

Changed the pushrod today, pretty sure it was that causing my issues. Van fires up straight away now and feels slightly more responsive. Will post a pic of old and new rods.

Thanks I’ve ordered a push rod, some gaskets and a spacer from brickwerks. Would I be better with a high temp grease or white lithium do you think? I have both.

Hello, been having some intermittent fun with my 1985 DF recently. Occasionally it won’t start without fuel or spray start added directly to the carb. Once it it’s running however, it is flawless. Currently on holiday around Norfolk, the van drive great fit for hours, my wife then filled it up with ...

I've used Powerflex bushes for ARB, front bushings and steering rack.  The split ones are much easier to get in (steering rack this week).  I've not replaced the rear bushings but will use Powerflex despite the cost for ease of assembly.  No idea if they outperform the rubber but I'd rather have so...

Finally got mine in along with having my arms powder coated etc. Nice improvement over my old knackered rubber bushes, very impressed so far.

I'm still to get around to mine, currently in discussion to have done at a friends garage where we can get it on the lift etc. and get hte arms blasted and coated whils...

On a related note, for those with fibreglass hightops, I have found Finishkare FK1000p is excellent for giving the gelcoat protection from the elements.

not a fan of covers, wax & drive :mrgreen: This for me. Good tough wax like Collinite on paint, if you have a fibreglass high top, get the ladders out and clean that then whack a coat of Finish Kare 1000p fibreglass sealant on it(I've only thought to do this recently and wish I'd started sooner...

Right...wish me luck...

I'm a fellow Bahco fan, tend to get along very well with their kit.

Right. Looks like I'll be going with the split bushes then. I'm guessing I'll need 2 x this kit ( https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/t3-tuning/performance-suspension/t3-powerflex-bushes/t3-powerflex-bushes/trailing-arm-bush-t4-rear-inner.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...
