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,...

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...

cheers guys, much appreciated. I was worried for a second there that i'd have to buy a new starter battery!

sorry to go back on this thread, just ordered an Agm leisure battery.  (this one https://advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/product/advanced-agm-lp120-leisure-battery/) will that still charge fine using a Durite split charge relay thats in my van? the starter battery is a normal Halfords HCB075 Calcium 1...

Because I am basically lazy I'll buy something like a portable 100W folding mono crystalline panel with integrated charger and clip it onto the battery terminals when parked up, because we won't be going anywhere. do you have any recommendations for a solar panel? ive been looking but there seems t...

mine were quite faded too, i didnt spray them, i used back 2 black interior stuff . they came up a treat and look like new now.
was impressed with the results!

thanks for the very detailed replies guys, much appreciated and definitely given me food for thought now to spend that little bit more !
i had looked at lithium but was put off by the price, and my van doesn't have solar fitted yet (its in the plans for the future!)

 

Hi all, the time has come to get a leisure battery in my van. Ive been using a second car starter battery for the past 2 years which has kind of done a job but that's now dead and doesn't hold any charge really. After looking around and doing some research i'm still struggling to find a good budget ...

interested in this too! i also have a 1.9 Dg, i have been 70 in it (only once as i dont want it blowing up) but it will easily cruise at 60 - 65 if i want to. ( i drive at 55 mainly  and thats around 3000 rpm) but then the hills come..... and the speed goes away! when i head down to Cornwall there a...
