Have done a lot more poking around by the said hoses... And found that coolant appears to 'bubble' from under the flange when any pressure is applied..!! Took the flange off last night, cleaned and smeared with a bit of gasket seal... Haven't tried it yet but I guess the 250 mile trip to bustypes wi...

Hi Just looking for reassurace.... Since upgrading my rubber pipes to the Brickwerks ones, I'm suffering from a water leak. I am finding water settling in the engine metal work just below the head water flange, I replaced this flange as part of the AAZ upgrade (about 2 years ago). I've redone both h...

many thanks, lot easier to read than the Haynes manual...

Was wondering if anybody could help... Fuel tank was removed / replaced recently on my van to install new water pipes... Unfortunatley I didn't do it myself due to time etc and paid a mechanic to do it. On a recent trip, after filling the van to the top, diesel copuld be smelt.... Have checked the b...

Just to conclude... Cut back to wiring loom earlier and found the other end of the missing wire..... All good again and working well.. Must say though, due to time I didn't change the water hose's myself, I could assume that the wire may hve been snagged and damaged accidentley by the mechanic... Ne...

I guess I've found the problem.... Please correct me if I'm wrong.... The sender is located on the rear of the head within the flange for one of the heater hoses..? It has a red/brown? wire and a blue/white wire.. The Blue/white wire returns from the sender but is hanging loose out of the loom with ...

thanks Ewen, I was sort of hoping it was like this, all the the plugs/sensors 'look' intact but knowing it was working ok before I'm sure I'll find it with a little more effort..

hi I guess its simple but.. I have just replaced all my water pipes etc on my AAZ diesel... Why...does my 'glow plug light' know take ages to go out.even when the engine is warm? Am I right in saying that the glow plug relay is controlled a temp. sensor on the coolant system? I'm sure if I investiga...

Thanks for that, getting the van up in the air is my biggest problem - all i have is a jack and ramps and a sloping drive.. ...i guess it must be quite possible to work with the one side lifted to a sensible height...??

Was wondering if any body can give us some advice... I have finally decided to 'splash out' and spend a little bit on the van..I have a full set of rubber hoses and stainless steel pipes from Brickwerks..!!...(must say - all the bits supplied look excellent quality.. :D ) I don't really see swapping...

Thanks Russel, Would it be that this units faulty or out of spec. or could it be due to something else at fault..?? I've noticed this unit did not exist on the AAZ - can it be blocked off..?? - I was thinking that some day that I should get the AAZ inlet manifold reworked to fit the JX turbo etc set...

Hopefully its only a minor problem but can anybody offer any advice or possible cause...?? My van is currently running an AAZ engine with the original AAZ diesel pump etc and the JX turbo / exhaust arrangement, the turbo was a rebuilt unit about 3 years ago.... Only recently, and it only seems to ha...

Hope someone can help with a bit of advice... I've been searching a few posts and agree it seems a good idea to fit an external oil cooler to my AAZ, for simplicity I am sure I'll go for the Brickwerks kit. Whilst doing this I would like to install a oil pressure sender and gauge, I want to use an e...
