coolant

If I park facing up hill, the coolant runs back into the refill tank. Is there a non return valve not working or something? I do have a slightly blown cylinder head gasket, if that has something to do with it. Presumably it was creating an air lock, which I can get rid of by loosening the bleed scre...

noisy radiator fan

1990 Transporter. When my speed reaches 50 mph, the fan seems to start up, although not going fast. When I slow to 40 mph, it stops, then starts again when the speed increases. What it sounds like is that the air pressure is making the fan turn, and the blades are catching. Any suggestions?

Sliding door handles

Would a door handle described as for a right hand sliding door work on a door on a left side door? And any suggestions as to how to get the grub screw out of the lock barrel? Assuming I can't unscrew it, if I drill it out will the lock barrel come out?

T3 Fuel tank

I need a new fuel tank for my T3 1990. Can any one recommend the Brickwerks one, or should I go for a more expensive one? Everybody seems to say that Brickwerks quality is good.

Re: Engine died T25 1990 petrol water-cooled

Thanks everyone for all the advice. However, still no luck, so I bought a Multimeter (£5.89 0n E bay!)
So the reading from ignition amp to dizzy: 5.9 - 6.0
Ign amp to coil: 11.75
Coil to dizzy: 11.6
I would be really grateful for any more advice!

Engine died T25 1990 petrol water-cooled

The engine was running OK, then just died. Petrol OK and reaching carburettor, but no spark. Dizzy cap, rotor arm, plug leads, plugs have all been replaced before, tried new ignition amplifier, no good, tried new coil, no good either.
Any suggestions? HELP!
