Re: Garrett t2 water cooled turbo - pipework

Yes your right Rik hadn't realised that. Unless the heater valve is open there won't be any flow.

Garrett t2 water cooled turbo - pipework

I have recently breathed some life back into my JX engine (syncro). A previous owner has swapped some parts of the engine, one of which is a water cooled Garrett t2 turbo. It looks to be indexed ok with the oil return at the bottom. Searching the forum I can see a few people have mentioned the turbo...

Re: 1.6 JX tappets

Screenshot from the JX service manual.
I would have made more sense if the had used 'E' for exhaust!

Its symmetrical about the mid point, so doesn't matter which way your looking at it.

Re: 1.6 JX tappets

I've got this to do on mine. It's says in the JX service manual. I'll have a look now.

Re: Some pics of my vans resto

Looks a tidy job. I can only dream about getting mine ready for paint.

Re: JX 1,6 TD Twin Belt Setup

Hello,

Could I get a copy of the manual as well please. I've just brought a newer version of the Bentley manual thinking it would be in there.

Thanks,
Phil.

Re: Heated Seats

Ok how much did you want for the switch and cowling? I'm not fully sure which route I'm taking yet. I've seen some land rover defender heated bucket seats to that come with there own switches.

They are the cloth type. Yes I've had the basket weave in my beetle.

Heated Seats

I've not started my project yet as I'm still getting the workshop ready to bring it in. However with the cold days I've been thinking about getting warm! I've currently got a single seat and a bench seat in the front of the doka. The bulkhead/support has been removed at some point as the bench seat ...

Re: Doka - work manuals/guides

I think there's a lot of similarities. But when I looked through there wasn't anything on the Doka Rear seat/doors. The electrics section didn't show the battery in the engine bay, so I imagine a few of the junction boxes and fuse locations my differ. I'm not that worried but wondered if there was a...

Doka - work manuals/guides

I've just received through the post the Bentley manual (I see why the postage was high now!) but after a quick glance through, it doesn't seem to cover the Doka. Are there other manuals or guides that cover the commercial vehicles? Most of the information is still relevant but there's bound to be a ...

Re: Big Blue Van - Full Restoration

Great thread, the detailed pictures are really useful for me to pick a few this up from, but I doubt I can keep my build area that clean however!
I like the use of the wooden hammer formers for getting the panel returns.

Re: Doka seats

Ok, will try Facebook in a few of the groups for original seats. I didn't know if anyone on here had fitted alternatives in the rear.
