Thanks, I am leaning towards the Multivan. Just trying to get my head around Lhd idea.

As for plumbing, I wish. I've heard it's a nice little earner. Lol.

OK guys I'm thinking of adding a T4 to go with my T3. I'm looking at two at the moment one is a Westy Multivan the other a panel van conversion. What are the benefits of the westy, if any. Both are of similar condition the multivan is a Lhd. But am I getting a better van with the Westy. Thanks

How easy is it to replace the choke pull down unit. I have a replacement from Brickwerks ready to fit, but just wondering on wether I am up to fitting it. I'm quite capable of servicing my own van and do little bits n bobs on it but just wonder if there are any instructions anywhere for fitting this...

Thanks Aidan, do you think this could be part of the problem with cutting out, stalling and cold starting problem. Thanks again.

Hi all, can anyone tell me what the relay in the black box on the bulkhead in engine bay is for. Van is a 1.9 dg petrol engine. I been having a few cutting out and stalling problem lately. I have fitted a new coil and a carb rebuild kit has been fitted. Next up is probably fuel pump. But could this ...

Cheers guys, I won't be doing it myself but its finding a garage I can trust to do it is my main concern and if it's possible to do with the engine still in situ.


I don't know why, when I post on here that it always seems to double post. I will look and delete other one. Thanks

Hi all, just wondering if the threaded holes that hold the exhaust on can be heli coiled or re tapped with the engine still in the van. Its a 1.9dg watercooled 1987. Just seems a lot of work to take engine out.I replaced the exhaust about 2yr back and hasn't been right since I did it. Seems to be bl...

Thanks guys, my feelings is the main wire. It's a recon starter from Brickwerks, have tried the small wire onto the solenoid. Been trying to trace the main lead back from the starter seem to lose it when traced back to just under the nearside front seat. Any idea where it goes off to. And are these ...

So today I replaced the starter motor. However still no joy, I can hear a click from the solenoid, but starter not kicking in. I run a jump lead from the live on the battery to the back of the starter and tried again, Bingo it starts. So what do I look at now. Any ideas peeps.

Cheers guys will check those this morning. Starter out looks like it could be a bugger of a job.

Hi guys, I'm having problems with van not starting. When I turn the key nothing, all the lights on dash come on, the battery is only 8 month old so I don't think it is that. Terminal on battery are clean. I can bump start it but it won't jump start with leads. Started to think possible starter motor...

Old age, beer belly and -40 springs not ideal for working under the van. 15inch wheels make a bit of a difference but standard springs or uplift springs may be my next job.

Cheers guys. It was the the one that was facing towards the front. I had a nice shower with G13 coolant. Went up my sleeve and down my bank
But all done now. I'm getting to old for this crawling around under vehicles. Uplift springs needed I think so I can get my beer belly under the van. Lol

Thanks for that. I almost went for the wrong then. So glad I held fire, will go and have a look now. Thanks again for the help guys.
