OK, so thanks Aiden for the direction to look. After a brief conversation with a BW guy I really respect I powered down the ECU by disconnecting the battery and connecting the +&- together for half an hour. Then re connected. The van is running way better than before. I am waiting for the Lambda...

I'd go through the engine bay electrics disconnecting and reconnecting everything in turn as this sort of intermittent fault maybe caused by a bad connection. I'd start by disconnecting the ecu first as that is the master and there are 25 pins on there anyone of which could have got a little corrod...

Is the lambda sensor connected ?
Have you tried disconnecting the lambda sensor and driving it ?

Hi Aiden, when it idles there is no black smoke. I am not aware that there is ever any black smoke. When the van is running fine it runs great.

I am hoping this is a problem that somebody has had before. Our van runs great on a journey to journey basis but very occasionally it will lose power and although still idle has no power and just slows down. The weird this is if I quickly turn the ignition off and the. Back on again it returns to no...

Just wondering if this subject has been covered. I am considering not putting my Eber back in my van as it it old, un serviceable and very expensive to fix or replace. We having a look around me wondered about these Chinese air heaters that are for sale on Amazon for a little a £90 ish. The reviews ...

when I bought my 16" in Germany it had Yokohama geolander AT tyres on. They were great on mud (light), snow (heavy) and ice (solid). They lasted well and ran quiet on the road.

Are each of these spanner and sockets sizes especially chosen or just a case of they'll do?

I like your comments about "it depends on what jobs you are going to tackle on the road" if we all knew that we would do them before we were on the road :D I think your right though any time that I have had a problem out and about I have not had the proper tool for the job. New fuel filter...

This is something that I have been thinking about for ages. Everytime I get an email from a tool company selling socket sets or complete car maintenence sets, just before I press the buy button because it looks such a good bargain I always hold back. The thoughts in my head saying but will they be t...

Yep with you there. Some people just have too many other things to do while they are meant to be driving. I need a coffee cup holder to put the coffee cup into while I am driving and only really take a drink on long straights or on the motorway.

You know what bigherb, that might just be the answer as I have a couple of spare ones of them.

They will also fold away to avoid being trod on. Brilliant.

Thanks

Hi there, Just wondering if anybody has found or come up with an idea of how to add at least one coffee cup holder that does not involve my wife or children. We have a bluestar at the moment and there is no where to hold a cup of coffee while driving. On our synchro we have one of these dash trays t...

And you say that you have some going up for sale soon?

Whoops! darn spell check. It is an Eberspacher B2L.

I kind of thought that this might be obsolete but when its working its great. When last used it was just a wee bit noisy.

If I cannae refurb then what is the replacement for a petrol engine user and not gas on board.

I was wondering if anybody knew of anyone who offers the service of service and refurbishment to my beers poacher heater in my 1991 multiivan. Or even if all the service parts are still available? Any and all help would be great.

Thanks
