Aidan will be your man there id have thought. The AAP box i have was really great for cruising til it jammed I. 2nd. Could do 70 at around 3700 on the rev counter ish give or take. The current unknown one I got in 50mph is about my limit as them im going over 4k at 60 let alone 70. I think all 5 spe...

If they aren't seized solid 

If the clutch is slipping like mad then its proabably soaked in oil so replace that with a new one as well. The engine main seal is probably shot or the input shaft seal on the gearbox could have gone, but youd get a fairly rancid smell from the oil if that was the case as trans oil stinks.

I thought the return line on the syncro carbs with the plastic vapour pot had the return line on that rather than the carb body.

Thats a very good fridge.. so far for me anyway. Had it running constantly since fitting it in may. Two 130w panels on a 110ah AGM battery keeps it running happily doesn't draw much at all, about 4amps when the compressor runs for a bit. The freezer keeps things frozen so icecreams are now in our in...

shiney, but a new carb? what sort?
 

Long story short, did a service for a chap with a CU with twin solex carbs, a lot of play in the spindles on the carbs ones leaking petrol badly but only when the engine isn't running. I've advised him about the leak and that it would probably let air in as well meaning you'd never be able to get th...

The LR mirrors are a very good upgrade you can see a lot more than the standard factory t25 mirrors they can fold against the van easily and adjustment is better. I did the same as Alfredo and bought the brackets from ebay.

Make sure the support plate bolt holes aren't worn or damaged either on the gearbox or the plate itself. I had that issue on my current box where the cup sat too low for the selector. I had to hold the rod up then tighten the bolts for the plate as the mounts on the gearbox had been broken prior to ...

As I understand keep the DJ one.. I should have on mine but sold it when I did the rebuild. I've been using the DG ever since and its been fine, although I suppose it has a difference advance curve to it, whether its optimal for the DJ no idea, someone with more brains can perhaps enlighten you.  :o...

Message Ajsimmo on these forums, he builds engines he can give you a quote and as I last knew he would install them too.

Id get under the van and visually inspect the components rather than just buy stuff you might not need 

Maybe the linkage rods? maybe they need moving a spline over towards 1st and 2nd. Are the bushes and links all OK on the linkage and not worn?


 

The linkage that goes from the front to back on the door needs to be as straight as possible so if you have insulation bowing it out or if its just bent it will mean that its always acting on the lock keeping it open.

Hi, i just did an engine conversion from 1.6 jx to 1.9 aaz. Ran great for 2,000 mls, now i,ve lost all oil pressure which seems like the vacuum pump has stopped driving the oil pump.I used the jx sump, and a new jx oil pump to match the sump. Would the jx vacuum pump be compatible with this ? (is i...
