Okay and thanks for recommending this set up. At present the three 12v outlets are all connected to the same fuse instead of independently. So that's another concern. The dash one (old cigar lighter outlet) is now on leisure circuit. So may revert back to ignition circuit. If l add solar (a pathetic...

12 volt wiring is not my strongpoint. But even this mess is worrying me. Can l use the busbar thingy instead. It's rated to 100 amps so should be strong enough. Is it a case of running a decent wire from battery to main terminal on busbar. Then putting each wire to a separate correctly fused termina...

Can l take a guess and say the transmission is in Essex?

The price is almost ballpark in my opinion. Whereabouts is transmission? And who is the dealer? Other forum users reading may well have positive feedback about the individual. I do recall videos but not showing damage to differential casing. However that is immaterial to you if you buy from this one...

So, think we've found someone with a suitable gearbox that has all the bits we need, according to the diagnostics. Is there anything we need to check to make sure it's the correct gearbox for our van? A code or serial number? The van it has come from is a 2.1 automatic, as is ours. Does that automa...

It really is a case of how long is a piece of string. To me it's a no brainer. Pay up and get camping this summer. If you have, a picture of the cracked bell housing helps? Whereabouts is the crack Aand how do they intend to repair the it? I have a flexplate l was keeping as a spare. But if needed w...

What's the surfaces of the head and pipe like? I think with when I built my engine I also used a smear of Blue Hylomar on the new gasket I fitted. Second the above. Just finished a full rebuild. Every coolant connection has a skim of Blue Hylomar either side of the gasket. Belts and braces. :ok

As long as its fitted right and the gas struts work the roof is fine, I have one, gives lots of room up top for storing stuff or sleeping. The bed is a bit of a ballache as it has the two sliders which when the seat is up blocks you from opening the engine hatch so you have to lowever the seat to g...

Well done.

Lowering the tank by just an inch will help with install. Anymore and you may dislodge the venting pipes.
But while there consider exchanging the heater pipes, too. 4 metres required l think. 5/8 internal bore.

Very impressive. Fantastic paint job!

Thanks.

I tried. But bend one way and it catches crank pulley. T'other way, it sits against oil pump cover. There is simply not enough room. The pipe is to thick in girth to adjust by bending. The only way is to crush pipe, where it crosses between pump cover and crank pulley, by about 5mm and re-angle the ...

Waterpump and DJ cooling system fitted. Cooler on and plumbed. Coolant pipes behind pulley matching up better using the steel pipe. All the above with new gaskets and a smidgen of Hylomar blue gasket sealant. So finally l have a DJ2.1 engine ready. It only took me nine months, and that is with someo...

Will the Type 1 oil pump affect engine bearer or the bracket to crankcase?

Briefly mentioned on this page. Two replaced. The rest given a clean bill of health.
