So, I managed to check the oil pressure from the switch port by the oil filter today, and got pretty much the same results. Cold start: Idle: 4bar 2500rpm: 6bar Up to temp: Idle: 1.5bar 2500rpm: 4.5bar So pretty sure the engine is ok 👍 Guess it's got to be a ground or a faulty buzzer? The grey switc...

Fantastic, cheers Colin.

Is it worth me testing the switch port on the oil filter housing also? Or should I start ripping out the buzzer of doom and installing a dash mounted oil pressure gauge?

So my buzzer of doom has been going off for the past few days. Only when I go over 2500rpm, so I believe it's caused by the oil filter switch (or faulty buzzer of doom?). It did start going off a couple of months ago, but I replaced a connection on the earth crowns (cleaned them up) and this seemed ...

Cheers, mine has the T3/25 dipstick fitted. Maybe this gives it the wrong reading when installed on the 1Y?

I've definitely put 4.5L of fresh oil in though.

Just replaced a leaky sump gasket/baffle plate. Drained all the oil, replaced oil filter, and refilled with 4.5L of 15W40 oil. However, the dipstick says the oil level is just below the minimum line. I've turned the engine over (by hand) and left it for an hour but I've still got the same reading. I...

Honestly, the van drives and feels great.

I message brickwerks to see if any aftermarket radius rods are a bit longer, but they said they are all the same length as the originals. Their opinion was that the van will be fine in the current spec though.

The radius rods do appear to be at their max. Has the mechanic missed something here? Can some radius rods be shorter?

Had an alignment done today as I changed a lot of bushes and ball joints recently. Mechanic said he couldn't get the Caster right on the front wheels. Something about a bolt not having enough thread (does he means the radius rod?). He took the van for a test drive and said it drives great and he's h...

I'll route through my box of clips tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have one that fits. If it still leaks I'll make an order with brickwerks. I may buy a new pipe too, I don't like how thin it is where it joins the expansion tank.

One of my coolant pipes has started to leak from the expansion tank. It only happens when the engine has got up to temp. The pipe is on as far as it will go (fiddled with it lots today) and I'm using the original spring clamp (as I believe these are meant to be better than a hose clip). Has the old ...

Here are some pictures of my Diesel engine bay. You can see the long metal (sometimes yellow plastic) coolant pipes in this photo. From what I can see, your pipes are missing. Hope this helps. They are there. but sort of dangling several inches below where they should be, and one much closer in to ...

As Colin has mentioned, there is a lot more missing than just coolant pipes. I will try and take a picture of my diesel setup tomorrow to give you an idea of what's missing. I cannot see an air box or actual coolant pipes (just hoses). If the original 1Y sump and oil pump are still being used too th...

I was struggling to find the engine code on my 1Y today. From what I can tell on the forum, it's meant to be in this location: https://i.ibb.co/8LW90Z2y/IMG-20250406-194248.jpg I couldn't see anything on mine though. Is there anywhere else it can be on a 1Y Diesel? Or do I need to scrub this area an...

Cheers, mine are definitely missing some spacers. They would give me the necessary clearance, I think.
