Well spotted, thanks Aidan

How did you remove and reattach the lenses please?

Ah thanks both

Inner 5.5” headlamps now seem like the holy grail since I last looked

Reflector has gone on one, what are my options for now and next time please? Would like to keep twin lamps if poss. I have H4 nightbreakers in the main.

Rgds,

So all back together as it was but without the pipe leaks. Fixed the temp gauge position with a variable resistor (for now) and the false flashing red light issue seems to have gone away. After a good run and bleed all seems well but looking at things in more detail both ‘in’ and ‘out’ pipes to my s...

The slightly rusty jubilees were not sealing at all well on the recent stainless water pipes so hopefully that was the cause, gone overboard and replaced them with fancy Mikalor clips. So grateful for your valued help chaps but in the absence of a Tdi plumber guru gonna put it back as it was for now...

So this is what I have (drawn in a similar way to the above workshop manual pic). As Andy says the van has done quite a few miles with this plumbing so it IS working and I’m not saying its wrong but as I may need to change the header bottle I wonder if it could be tweaked. Looking at my sketch I see...

This is a lot easier to follow than the diagram I had.

Is that the same diagram I posted above Andy ?

E D I T Think I found the one you are looking at, very helpful, thanks Andy (although now its doing my head in !!)

The fact its been running for some considerable time since the conversion until you had this problem suggests whatever happened is more likely due to a fault (eg. leak) than a 'design' issue ? This is true Andy, I'm guessing the drip is the culprit although it was just a wee steady drip and there w...

Thanks Ian, yes the heater kicks out hot air. When first driving I can see the gauge rise high then drop down a little as the stat opens and then steadies. Its done a good few thousand miles like this but I'm not really confident its plumbed right. Also not sure that bottle is right, as I understand...

So I'm thinking it runs like this,



Maybe thats just fine?

The small outlet on the back of the block is capped with a silicone cap.

Overheated yesterday towards the end of an otherwise happy 2 hour run. I noticed the temp gauge go high and by the time I stopped the bottle cap was whistling like a kettle. The Bottle was empty but under a lot of steam pressure, I think the bottle is distorted now. The cap is not that old and a goo...

I just bought a Tom Tom start 62 SatNav and I find its useless in the bright light, cant see it at all so plan to take it back. My ancient Garmin is way better in the sun but out of date and small. Which SatNav are you using and can you see the screen clearly in the sun - its here to stay for a whil...
