thanks dude. i need to be doing this soon. so your post arrived at just the right time for me.

i had the same problem, although it cleared up when i put a new sensor in. i found it needs to be hand tight and then a little bit more. so i got the mole grips on it.

i was told that the tanks can get cracked - have you checked that? could be a small crack...

if you want to run WVO, you will need tankis in your garage set up for filtering. and the van may lose around 5-10% power on WVO. plus, if you're planning any long trips, you'd have to take all the WVO with you for the entire trip, unless you arrange with someone at your detination or en route to ge...

i believe a twin passenger seat will slide straight in. but i might be wrong.

muchos WD40 + brute force IMHO. good luck!

i've just had mine replaced, i have a 1.9TD. i don't know if the uprated output has any benefit for a camper, with split charging systems etc. someone will be along in a minute to tell us. but my man in the know suggested the standard 65A unit was perfectly OK, so i saved myself the extra cash.

sorry, i did a search but couldn't find anything quickly...

can anyone help me break into my van? i've locked the keys inside...

or is this the sort of thread that shouldn't get started in the interest of security?

if anyone knows of cheap WVO available in somerset, let us know. i'm also thinking about a conversion. have been for a while...

lots of info on http://www.vwkd.co.uk/bb/

and that's also where i last heard of famous phil

I've got the Russek T3 diesel manual and I'm not mechanically-inclined and I would say it's not particularly easy to follow. Probably alright if you know what you're doing, though. Like Mark says, get a Haynes for the petrol T3 and the Russek should fill in the diesel bits.

well, maybe they're not strictly necessary, but i'm talking about the throttle lever and turbo oil return line...

If your JX is running nicely, I'd save yourself the hassle. The AAZ is better, but I'd only bother if your JX is really on the way out.

SyncroSpares and Brickwerks also do the conversion. Baxter even makes his own bits to fit especially for it.

Neither is close to you, though, sorry...
