I have just bought a lovely looking metallic blue 1986 DG 1.9 water cooled van and I love it. However there are some niggles that I want to pass through you guys for your opinion. Any advice you give will be greatly appreciated. It is very interesting reading Wiki all the same....
Here goes:
1 - I have twin round headlights at the front, are these standard? The inside pair dont work. I have tried all switches (lights/gog lights) Im wondering if theyre even wired up. Is this a fault or just cosmetics? I will obviously look at the wiring but wondered if there was any background to twin headlight T3's?
2 - When I am cruising, so 20mins into journey (normal working temp) the gauge is reading midway with the red light flickering (on the temp gauge). Is this a worry, cos it does my head in?
3 - When idling cold the engine will sometimes cut out. How can I remedy this without having a degree in carburation? I mean can I tweak idler like on an old motorbike?
4 - I have already started to board out van and cover in carpet ready for my next stage of making it livable inside and would definitely like a leisure battery. Can I buy a ready to go kit with instructions? When fitted I would expect 2 extra 12v lights, a spare 12v socket for tv, and possiblya fridge for the vino when in new forest. Ideally I want a buy off the shelf kit. Do they exist and if so where?
I think that will do for now. Thanks for reading. I will attach pictures when I get my new phone back as broke.
