Re: Breather tower / vented catch can

https://i.imgur.com/XAHtAw2.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/n7yaQQv.jpeg Forgot to update the thread. I took the tower off and turned it 180 degrees. Ran a pipe to the catch can and then used the exiting breather tower pipe to plumb back into the intake. The carb is much cleaner now and runs very well. I ...

Re: Radiator cowl

https://i.imgur.com/uu600U9.jpg All sorted in the end. I ended up repairing it, rust treating and painting. Annoyingly though just after I finished a nice bloke from eBay who makes cowls said he’d make one from my one if I posted it to him. If anyone is in need I will dig out his user name. It was ...

Radiator cowl

Back from the hols in France (after the frantic alternator change that meant we lost a night) and the van has decided to let the radiator go! For once I’m glad it decided to give up on the drive and not on the way to a ferry! Got all the bits and bobs sorted (thanks Simon) and fought with the rusted...

Re: Alternator Identification

Hi All, What a bloody nightmare that was! Your replies helped massively. I managed to get to just kampers to pick up the 45ah that they had online. The pulley was wrong but the bloke at the click and collect on Sunday was an absolute star and helped me get the pulley off before I left. A race home t...

Alternator Identification

Hi All, Sod’s Law driving to overnight ferry and it started over charging and cooking the battery. My digital read out was showing 16.7volts at the leisure battery and the main battery was boiling over. So I have a regulator arriving hopefully before 1300 today to get up and running but I can’t tell...

Re: Breather tower / vented catch can

You are a gent. Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t seen one with anything close to the connection size of the existing pipe from the tower!

Re: Breather tower / vented catch can

So have you picked up the feed from the tower and capped off the other inlet to the breather catch can so it just has the one feed and the filter on the top? Really grateful if you could share which one you fitted? Toying with any lost benefits from lack of vacuum draw in the crank case and Vs those...

Re: Breather tower / vented catch can

Thanks Aiden, would you recommend changing the tower to assist with venting at the right time?

Breather tower / vented catch can

I took the pancake off the 1.9dg to sort badly perished fuel line (don’t buy Halfords e10 pipe it didn’t last 8 months) and I found the recently rebuilt carb on the recon engine (4k miles) to have a reasonable amount of oil/fuel mix around it. It got me thinking about connecting the hose from the br...
