Re: Water leak.

Leak seems to be coming from a small round recess behind offside pushrod tubes. Will try post pics later. But any ideas welcome meantime

Re: Heat exchange pod.

Cheers Kev.

All the systems I've looked at for my van don't seem to include it. Certainly helps bring the price down a bit.

Heat exchange pod.

I have a lump of rusty metal hanging from under rear offside. I believe it is a heat exchange pod. However, when I looked it up heat exchange pods are only listed for air-cooleds. I have an '85 1.9 watercooled. Would this be right and if so, why do I have them on my van?

Cheers in advance

Earth crown

Going to clean earth crown behind fusebox to see if it will cure lighting problem. Do earth leads have to go back on same position on crown or doesn't it matter what goes where?

Thanks
