If I remember correctly a while ago someone said you could fit an Austin maestro headlight. There was some fiddling. There was a picture on the post and it looked quite good.

I'm running a 1.7d and I've had enough of going up motorway hills at around 40mph. I'm thinking of converting over to petrol and putting a subaru engine in. What will I need to change other than just the engine? I had the fuel tank changed last year as the old one had a large rust hole in the top. W...

Cheers for the replies guys. I'll be going with those I think.

Does any company make a sliding window vent similar to the just kampers cab window vents?

Cheers for the reply Titus. How slow are we talking here and what was it like to fit?

What universal electric window kit would people recommend and how hard are they to fit?

That sounds good to me, I love White Mark. I might be working up in Manchester for 4 weeks, but I don't know the dates of it yet. I'll keep you posted.

My van seems to have acquired a knocking noise from the O/S rear whenever I go over speed bumps. It seems to happen when it's under compression, like when it rolls down of the bump. That tire has recently been changed to get through the MOT.

Anybody got any ideas?

Check the oil pressure sender itself, it could be loose and leaking oil or it could be leaking oil through the top of the switch itself and mucking up the accuracy. Where abouts is that on a 1.7d? Would it just be an unbolt and replace with new one or would I have to drain the oil? Meehaja you've g...
