I've taken off the swirl pot and blew through the bottom hole which didn't give any resistance. Blew through the middle where it did give some resistance and I can hear some kind of valve operating. So I connected up as bottom to pump out , middle to a container , and sure enough the fuel came throu...

No Ethanol has been in this one as far as I know , had the syncro since 2006. Before that 2 American ladies had driven around Europe in it ???

Thanks ghost123uk. I think the pump is on the middle , will check this morning (a weekend without rain ) , do some re plumbing if necessary and test. I'll let you know. I'm getting this problem sorted before selling.

In the wiki I didn't spot the link to the Gower and Lee website before :oops: . I've ask them if they have a swirl pot. I do suspect that I have the plumbing wrong, although it' s been fine until now. I've tested it, bypassing and going straight to the carb. Anyone know which pipe goes to top,middle...

It's a plastic thing sits beside the carb, has pipes from fuel pump, fuel tank vent and a fuel pipe to the carb. I didn't know what is was called until I looked at the Pierburg wiki.

The vapour canister on the carburettor appears to be blocked. Anyone know where I can get a replacement ?

Thanks, was about to try to pull em off

Does anyone know how the Diff lock control knobs come off their shafts? I don't want to break anything.

Yes the charge light is on all the time , has gone off a few times , was wondering if is a bad connection on the windings , Thanks very much for your advice folks. Will try the regulator first, if this doesn't work then surgery will be done.

Thanks , Sort of thought there my not be any output from the Alternator , but wasn't sure, could the regulator be at fault ?

Hi I have an Alternator problem , when I measure the voltage on the battery (not leasure) it's about 12.5V (recently been fully charged), when I start the engine with nothing switched on , the voltage drops to 10.5V. Could a fault in the regulator cause a drop as well as a rise? away from the usual ...

Yes I think i'll will , I think my trust of garages or more to the point the cowboy's who work there is'nt that good. I've had experience of things like over filling of oil , loose nuts and bolts and other irritating bit's and bobs . Still cannot tar all with the same brush

Hi

Any know of a garage in North London or Herts that can do the correct tracking for my Syncro. Although I haven't used my local garages for my Syncro before , i'd prefer to take it to someone who knows about these vans..

Oh found one on the rim "0062" ?? would that be the gearing?

Can't see number on the speedo face , there is one inside "1 81191005" ?
