Thanks David, I'll give him a shout

Happy New Year. Been a long time since I last posted, so apologies for that, but back now and looking to reach out to the community. Been using our campervan (1989 early Bilbo panel van conversion) for a while now, since the last tranche of bodywork was carried out several years ago, but have been l...

All went well I'm pleased to report.

Only slight niggle was the top pipe resealing. I hadn't checked its condition prior to starting and managed to get it to seal in the end but I definitely need to get a new one.

Thanks again.

Thanks Gents.
Had thought about the risk of damaging the hoses, like the idea of tieing them up though and I might look to see if I can source a bung or two.

I'm looking to change my header tank later on today (1.9 DG). Is there any schoolboy errors I can avoid? Plan so far is to: 1. Ensure all is cool. Remove cap. 2. Clamp top and bottom hoses. Prob uses mole grips with padding. 3. Siphon out coolant from old tank. 4. Unplug sender 5. Unfasten hoses fro...

no, thanks for just saying..
..it would be interesting to know what the issues were, but there will always be a happy/unhappy customer balance

cheers, I'll give them a call..

Thanks

cheers gents
makes things a lot simpler

To anybody who has done this, what size jets did you use when re-jetting the standard pierburg?

Going to fit a new clutch and spigot bush, any other hints?

cheers

that was going to be my next question.. ..am I going to notice much difference? I have 2 batteries, half decent sound system, a skytag and the usual smattering of lights. i find I sometimes have to top up either of the two batteries before we go away on holiday but I reckon thats down to lack of mil...

Hi, I'm resurrecting this thread as I would like to uprate my existing 45A alternator on my 1989 1.9DG to a 65A one. Using the part numbers kindly supplied by kevtherev 9see below). Will any of the 3 65A options fit or are there subtle differences? I think that the MX refers to one fitted to the TD ...

thinking of doing the same thing...
...were they 953 feet and 763 bars?
