I would, but I cannot see the keyboard to type :rofl

On a serious note - after getting this far, I did lose track of where some stuff went.
Therefore I still reiterate the statement - label everything. And I should have added - take plenty of photos as you start to strip stuff back to access / release the dash panel to expose the 'b' movie hidden behind. (It can be a bit scary for those who are faint hearted).

I do suspect however that the original poster has got his van sorted as he has not logged in for three weeks.

It is still useful advice for all those other poor unsuspecting owners yet to face the ravages of 40 year old van ownership.

Ah yes - Jabal Al Tariq.
A very nice place that I last visited in 2001.
Having a main road across the runway was a bit weird to comprehend at the time.
I will have to go back there one day.

I presume he would have an air-con version then.
I am sure that complicates things a whole lot.

If my heater unit goes it'll be replaced by an after market air conditioning one.  I keep saying that but it's not packed up yet!
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

There are units/kits available to purchase as used by people that build kit cars.
