As ian said the n/a 1.8 20v is a real peach of an engine I fitted one to my old syncro doka was happy sitting on the motorway at 80mph at 4000 rpm with much more to give if needed. Was nit an issue in the doka but the manifolds will be an issue in a van. Andy who did the loom was not at all concerne...

Would make sense white is the central locking lock signal wire remains 12v live when the doors are locked.

As aidan said I have retro fited factory central locking I have been sourcing parts for a year or so when they turn up. And made the loom it's very straight forward to make. My van is a 83 so early. The cable was made as a direct replacement for what broke. There is about 20mm of adjustment and I am...

Recently my early sliding door cable snapped at the crimped end of the cable. This cable as a whole has been nla for a while. So Google to rescue and a couple of phone calls a cable tec in Nottingham were very helpfull and can make a new one for me. It was sensible money at £55 all in. https://i.img...

All about the green.

The wolfy exhaust is designed to be used with the early jx engine mounts. The early and late lest mount are very different. I can't tell from your pick if you have an early or late mount.
I would also concider using the hd rubber mount on the sump mount to the exhaust.

look for any cracking in between the teeth as they are the weakest point on the belt, as for me i would be gearing up for a changing it and the water pump as it becomes very accessible when swapping over a timing belt and tensioner,

 

:ok you'll be in France :rofl You never know, but mid July is looking good this year Aidan! Finn should have a provisional license by then too :shock: Golly Rich. It scary how time passes. But I suppose Maddy sitting her gcse should remind me that all the kids are growing up. Just remind him that I...

No AC at the moment. As the AC rad was incredibly brittle but will be recognised after paint. The compressor is still on the engine with the hose outputs blanked. It works on an electro magnetic clutch to switch on and off .I think the big mirrors or now sorted. Andrew just has to decide if he colou...

Now back in Gower. And I have been informed that it s been around the peninsula.

I am not overly concerned about the mpg. Recently we did a 1000km trip on our westy.agg Very low geared gear box. And it still returned late 20s which I find more than acceptable. The engine is the next generation from the agg so I would assume more efficient. If it actives mid to late 20s with the ...

Passed the mot today so that's another box ticked and the owner is coming to pick it up on the weekend. I have to say my head has been turned by the auto box. It makes for a very relaxing drive. The engine is nice and quiet just doing it's thing maintaining good coolent temps confirmed buy the obdw ...

Thanks for that had a quick look in the Bentley and I think looking at later wiring diagrams that it's for the parking break warning light on the dash I will do some continuity tests over the weekend and try and confirm what it is
