Futbus Daves' recent experiences with an AAZ make me wonder what actually passes for reliable, petrol or diesel...

My Multivan is fitted with a Flux Capacitor but even it acts up funny in a thunder storm ......

Not fair!!! Of-course tractors are better off-road!
I was shocked to hear about Dave's, I thought diesels never went wrong!

AAZ..... it was only a matter of time...

You never did get round to fitting an oil cooler did you Al

A big plus for petrol is that when you run out, you pour more in and it starts again.

Unlike a diesel

a good plus for diesel is that's unlikely to turn your van into a inferno

What? Go back and get your prescription changed Ian, you're on the wrong stuff (again)

Errrrrmmmm, .....maybe not......but still, i'm fairly sure it wouldn't have stopped Dave's pulley falling off.

You know it's true! Bleeding air from fuel lines and filters, guffing around...

I only said it 'cos I did indeed run it dry the other evening forgot that the end of the red bit does truly mean "there's no more juice, man. Go direct to Morrisons". But brimming the tank still only reads 3/4 full
I think something's fallen off inside the tank as the last time I ran it down to zero - to drop the tank - there was still 3 gallons left in it. Came as a bit of a surprise when I pulled the hose off

Who does that these days?? Bought my first diesel in 1981and have yet to bleed a system ... !!

Probably why I keep my distance from oil-burners these days...

Anyway, we've gone to all this trouble posting up an entertaining thread for Neil and he can't even be ar$ed to join in! Ungrateful bu66er!

When my 1.6D ran out of fuel I just put more in and it started no problems.

Did Dave change the pulley and the bolt before he fitted it? I was advised to do this as apparently there was a problem, but changing for the newer design alleviates this.

Yup, fairly sure i remember the bolt being changed.
