thanks jakemate. will crawl back under and finish the job.

have just replaced steerin rack bellows and bushes but I need to replace one tie rod balljoint as I trashed it. doh.the new bit has arrived but it has no split pin or hole for it - simply a lock nut. can anyone help and tell me if this is ok to use or should I return it and buy one with the split pi...

if you check that in line fuel filter and it has water in the fuel-clear bubbles in the fuel, then you best check the rubber neck of the fuel filler just inside of fuel cap.any splits or decay on this lets water in = crap or non run. best of luck. all I can say is that if the van is a keeper if that...

thanks toby t25 for posting this. I think you have been quite restrained in your comments about elite and have also done well to say the engine is running sweetly, or at least to report what your garage said. a lot of people wondering where to go with their hard earned cash to get replacement engine...

was following your engine thread with great interest toby t25. is the engine itself ok now?

cant suggest an itinery. too many great things to see. take as little as poss, buy a big bag and bring loads back. you will have a great time,lovelypeople, lovely country so make it up as you go along. if you want clothes go to hoi an. they can knock up copies of anything. not my thing but met peopl...

interested in this result. i think if you are talking about sliding door and opposite side then they are different lengths. am guessing that this then makes it relevant if windows are for a rhd or lhd van and would need to be specific. hope your window fits !

can these be tested by any reasonable garage? my van-1987 2.1 mv, petrol/lpg seems to run and idle perfectly with the sensor disconnected but will barely run with it connected.i have replaced sensor twice, first time with cheapo from local factors and second time with pukka from reputable dealer. it...

2.1 mv injectors. can i get them cleaned and rubber seals replaced. any recommendations on places to get this work done? thanks

thanks. will get this looked at by a mechanic or get it replaced.it started without labouring on first turn of key but then again it always does .

thanks for those replies as well.now i see why the braided cable appears to be heat sealed to rubber grommet. also yes it is crimped and soldered inside. will i need to resolder this as at present my replacement cable is simply re crimped in the place where i had to drill out old braided cable. am i...

thanks . tidy looking job.may have to have a search and find something a bit heavier duty for mine after seeing that.

well more like rotted out. this is the small braided wire that is secured to solenoid rear below battery conn.it then enters starter motor through a rubber grommet. i have managed to replace it but to be honest its a bit of a bodge as it seems to be a non service item. my question is what does it do...

thanks for replies. was thinking fuel starvation. am going to do the tests that i can in haynes to test fuel pump delivery,pressure,regulator and injectors. tank is new but could i have cocked up when fitting it? thought i had put all pipework back right. is it possible to have it non vented? going ...

any clues good people?it will idle fine on fuel but has no power at all-switch over to gas and it runs just fine,normal power. can i rule out electrical/ignition and focus on the fuel system?fuel tank is new and fuel pump,lambda sensor. this is driving me mad so any tips much appreciated.
