cros Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I don't have a car with a rev counter and if I found one sprouting out of the top of the dashboard like they seem to these days I'd knock the little shagger off and put a clock there instead. mercrocker, Lacquer Peel, Angrydicky and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'd fit a massive ammeter, or servo vacuum gauge or some such crap. Battery temperature. Rip the lot out and fit £8k worth of Stack panel with telemetry CreepingJesus and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yeah, that sucks. I think we've all done something like that, so we can feel your pain, (ooer!), that doesn't make it any less miserable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Home at last. What a time to find out I left my house keys in the Caddy. At my mum's. 50 miles away.I once drove 240 miles to gatwick ready for a Florida holiday only to realise at the hotel I'd left my wallet in the house. Luckily the fuel efficiency* of my Subaru Impreza meant driving to meet my poor old mother halfway** would be no problem on the 1/4 of a tank and zero funds I had. In the end theft of a sneaky £25 the boy had been given to go by his so so generous *** grandmother saw me make it to Leigh Delamare services for 9 through m25/m4 traffic and collect said wallet. Good thing about the Impreza was it didn't take long to get back when it was traffic free. Unpleasant overall though unlike the holiday.

Lacquer Peel Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Bad luck Lacquer. Did you manage to get that window closed for your journey home? Nah but I was 'smoking like a fireman' all the way up the road so it became a useful convenience feature. It's not without its problems but seems like a decent van. It has convinced me again that Peugeot/Citroen in the 90s were CHASSIS MASTERS, I can't believe they created a small van that rides so well, much better than a lot of cars. An HDi one would be fucking ace. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Would like to fix the hammering engine, I'm convinced it's not something serious. Could be a problem with the needle lift sensor on one of the injectors, or a timing issue, moar serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have to drive a pair of peugeot prantners (same van isnt it?) and everything about them was shit, their only redeeming feature was they weren't C15s.

Bucketeer Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Sounds alright that LP. Hope it serves you well.I really liked all the various versions of these I drove. As an added bonus, they can house (literally) a 6'5" idiot laid down diagonally in the back. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ace, I had one of these before my Hiace. Comfortable, economical, sweet handling, easy to work on, rust free. Assuming it was cheap, well bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 It looks like it has either new or very well painted original steelies under the erroneous Peugeot hubcaps. It started first time this morning, with some chugging. There isn't much veg in it but the DW8 fuel filter housing looks even more dubious than the XUD one and it's fed by nasty hard plastic pipes.Tightening the slack accelerator cable may release some more DW8 POWAH.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I only have one experience of the DW8 but it just seemed like an XUD with a really craply calibrated fuel pump. Is a good one as good as a decent XUD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I don't think so, it's not so much the pump but all the emissions shit that strangles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
