I guess you have a syncro? 
If its only when moving could be more like something to do with a worn CV or propshaft UJ? Maybe VC?? but the syncro lot might be able to assist more.

the LED isn't duff is it?

Did you replace the wishbone bushes and assuming a 2WD did you tack weld them back one the wishbone? I mean I suppose your steering bevel box / rack could have play or a tie rod could be worn

I know this is a daft question but are you sure the noise is coming from the front?

Ok, I think it's finished. I've double checked the DOPS connections using the old ribbon PCB and I'm confident I have them in the correct order. Jumper caps arrived today and I think I have all the necessary one's installed. I've left the LED 6 jumpers vacant. There are a few things that need addre...

As someone whos first PCB disintergrated along with the rev counter backing (which I now have sorted i hope) and now has an old dodgy blue PCB held together with tape hope and dreams with no working temp gauge driving as a daily, I'm watching this closely.. CJH's inital ones were priced very reasona...

I have a body cut of one if you cannot find one.

Same block so all the stuff will bolt on.. but you're bolting a 30 year old EFI to a 30 year old engine.

A TDI at this point sounds more appealing MPG wise. I dont think I'll ever get marcos EFI stuff for a 2.1.

budget 3k+ for a rebuild if not more.. or just use that money to get an engine conversion.

Welding is by far the best skill you can learn when owning these vans. The thing with courses is they will teach you how to weld new metal to new metal. Welding new to old is a different ball game. Id advise getting a welder that has a gas option for it. While gasless wire is handy its not the best ...

blimey you're having fun eh

I know its not the weather for it stu but make sure your heaters on as that will need to be bled through as well.

Dont think I ever paid attention to the arrow, just as long as the thermostat is the right way around, IE the spring facing down..The O ring should sit under the thermostat as well iirc.
