SyncroAndy diagnosed a fault (through careful logical testing) on Mark Williams TDi with it going into limp, associated with the boost valve which proved to be something to do with led reverse bulb, I think it was due to common earth and voltage/voltage drop, which meant that the ecu wasn't happy w...

Blimey thanks would never have guessed.
It’s in the garage at the moment I’ll let them know

I’ve replaced both position lamps but not led, the reverse bulb is led but always has been since i bought it. How come?

Howdy, At a bit of a loss so thought I’d come to the well of knowledge. Tried starting up ready to drive to my MOT and no joy. Well, it cranks and starts fine but runs all of half a second before cutting out. Had a look in the engine bay and could hear the turbo boost control valve clicking fast, un...

Apologies if this isn’t in the right section but seemed the closest fit. I’m looking to attach my side ladder permanently so It doesn’t take up room inside. Any ideas? Anything appreciated https://i.imgur.com/JCrrdPw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RU5RsSa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EUKTgP4.jpg https://i.imgur...

Good luck

Thanks for the reply. The only thing I’m struggling with is actually getting the bolts off lol.
How do I stop the pulley from spinning?

Hi,
What I think is my water pump belt has come off,
But I have no idea how to put it back on and I have tried a stretchy belt tool

Any ideas?
Thanks

Well I was right, it wasn't the windscreen. At least, not after I sealed it. I bit the bullet and took the dash out. No obvious signs of leakage, so got my helper to spray the van with water whilst i looked for a leak. It turns out it is leaking from the roof, with the water coming down the inside ...

I am no welder either, but thankfully my friend just loves welding He swears by butt welding. And do not dare mention the phrase joggling for making lap joints. :shock: Luckily I’ve only done butt welds lol When I’m finished with the welding and painting I’m just going to completely reseal the whol...

My vans currently on jack stands and I have a fair few photos should you need them. Butt welding is supposed to be better Yes please, I’ve bought the wheel arch panels they were only £12 each from brickwerks and really good quality. The only bit I need to make up is the inside of the wheel arch. Fi...

There are loads of experts on here that could advise if you post pictures for what you (don't?) have and how it all fits together.  Mig welding wise if you haven't found it  https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/  is an excellent resource for general welding tips and techniques.  I am just starting f...

Hi Did some digging on the body work and was ecstatic to find only half my wheel wells :ok Last person did a bit of a bodge cover up and just filled it all over on the arches. The inside was covered in the horrible rubber sealer stuff so couldn’t actually see how bad it was when I bought it :run I’m...

Why are you replacing the injector pipes? Can you take a picture of the whole engine bay ? , just want to check stuffs in place Just wanted to renew as many parts as I could really. I had a look at the starter motor last night and the connections are really corroded so I assume that’s where my prob...
