Gear change and dashboard woo’es.

Post by **SplendiferousII** » 18 Sep 2009, 14:43

When I select first gear my van can sometimes jump out. I now tend to hold the gear stick forward as I let the clutch out so it jumps into gear rather than out of gear. The gear stick feels nice and positive with no real slop. Is it a lubrication issue or should I be looking to buy a new part? It’s a four speed Diesel box (83).

Also my Glow plug light comes on sometimes when I use the windscreen wipers (flickers on off) and its gets worse sometimes when the lights are on. Any idea’s?

I agree - i've just solved a whole host of dash electrical issues (whilst wiring in an intermittent wiper relay on my ceramic fuse van) simply by cleaning the earth crowns and connectors.

any details on wiring that relay in? Would like to do the same on mine if possible.
