i wouldn't use anything from SH cowboys!! i got truck mirrors from brickwerks and they are perfect!!

`I replaced the oil pressure switch today, and drove 230 miles back from Devon with out any dashboard lights.
so i'm guessing my wiring was the culprit

had more of a look over the weekend regarding the advice. many thanks for all the input. nothing seems out of the ordinary so i can only assume it is my rewiring of the oil pressure switch wire.  So ive ordered a deep socket so i can get into the switch and replace it, hopefully that will sort this ...

thanks for the reply, the dashboard plug is in fine, i also have the upgraded dash thing and no longer have the blue ribbon thing. the wiring back to the yellow connector doesnt look too bad, a bit grimy but nothing major i did have the waterpump pulley off when trying to get to the switch, but i co...

Hi all, i'm having an issue that i think is the earth from the oil pressure switch but just looking for confirmation really that nothing major is wrong! I had an issue with the buzzer and oil light going off (even though my pressure gauge reads ok when it happens) i had diagnosed it as  a faulty swi...

it was a standard generic vdo one, set to 4 cylinders. i had to use a diode inline (not resistor) .
apparently mine was caused by noise interference, which makes sense as my stereo whines like a you know what!

i put a vdo tacho on mine, but it also read high. I had to put a resistor (can't remember what one) inline to bring the revs down to the correct reading.

I used a company called space roofs in Devon to do mine.

quite pricey but so far so good, had it on a year now.
Left the van with him and a week later it was done for me.

Heya Shinnster, I’ve not videoed it Im afraid but it’s fairly straight forward. A decent crimping tool and something to get the spade terminal out of the connectors teally help. As you I pulled the old stuff out i used electrical tape to attach some string so I could feed it back the same route. Th...

AFAIK the wiring goes in the left grommet and only the washer pipe in the right. Done it! Thanks for the tip. I was too zoomed in to think of that. Extra cable on the way to route the wiper power the other way. And a new wiper motor. The old one appear to be completely seized. The rear demister is ...

thanks for the info guys.
i actually had those triple electrode plugs in my van when i got it but changed them out to normal plugs.

 

i saw there was the green or grey sticker ones for my late van, but i'm lead to believe I can just use any coil as long as it has the correct fitting. so it doesn't have to be T25 specific?

Hi all, I have a late van with a 1.9DG and looking to replace my coil. Brickwerks has been out of stock for what seems like over a year now . A friend has told me I can use any coil in the van, as long as its for an electronic ignition and not for points and condenser. is this true? if so, anyone ha...

just here to watch how this is done. i have the same thing installed on mine by a supposedly big company (SHC) and the thing has constantly leaked oil and i have no idea how to fix it. Send us some pics to service at brickwerks do co dot uk I shall get some taken tomorrow and send them over to you,...

just here to watch how this is done. i have the same thing installed on mine by a supposedly big company (SHC) and the thing has constantly leaked oil and i have no idea how to fix it. Leaks at the fixing between the pushrods? For now l'm just going to use it to relocate the oil switch. Then I'll a...
