doug Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Sorry for the late update but a new filter housing fixed my problem. Thanks all for the help. Running fine now. Also passed it's MOT last week as well. 500tops, Sunny Jim and lesapandre 3
Sunny Jim Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 Got a couple of jobs done this afternoon. After a bulb went and I couldn't get hold of a yellow bulb I've been running one yellow and one white. Back to both yellow for maximum Frenchness. Next I replaced one of the leak-off pipes. FUBARed after only a few months. Hopefully the Halfords pipe I've been recommended will last longer. I'm a dab hand at removing the intake fanimold now with all the practise I've been having. Mrs6C, yes oui si, juular and 5 others 8
Sunny Jim Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 After more problems with the hearse today it was good to give this a wash and go for a run in the sun. doug, Matty, Tickman and 8 others 10 1

Shot near St Paul de Vance in S. of France. I drove mine Rouen to London during the winter no sweat at the legal limit all the way. Matty, Sunny Jim and High Jetter 3
doug Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Van was not happy with anything less than half a tank of diesel. Thinking that possibly the fuel pickup pipe might have a crack in it I remove it. Looks like the pump might have been struggling to draw anything through this. Mrs6C, lesapandre, 500tops and 2 others 5
lesapandre Posted April 4 Posted April 4 It's an organic matter that grows in diesel fuel. Boats laid up suffer from it particularly. Also if the van has been run on veg oil in the past. Clean it down and job should be a goodun. Run the tank right down and replenish with fresh diesel. There are inhibitor biocides to go in the fuel if it really persists. Sunny Jim, doug and Mrs6C 2 1
doug Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I was out and about in mine the last couple of days as well. Went up to Tobermory via Oban and back via Glen Coe. As long as I kept the fuel level up no problems. Matty, Dyslexic Viking, 500tops and 7 others 10

Sunny Jim Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 Finally got round to tightening the aux belt that occasionally squeaks on starting today. It's looking a bit oily, better add cleaning the engine and working out where it's coming from to the jobs list. lesapandre, juular and Dyslexic Viking 3
lesapandre Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Worth getting a spare belt. They do squeak and then fail. Not sure which engine you have but on the earlier ones it's an easy roadside change if it snaps. I found that out last year in the middle of the French countryside. 😂 Sunny Jim 1

Sunny Jim Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 After having trouble getting a belt in time when one snapped just before the MOT last year I always carry a spare. My engine's a DW8 so I could only change the belt at the roadside if I had a 40 torx bit and a 22mm spanner for the adjuster... lesapandre 1
Sunny Jim Posted May 16 Author Posted May 16 New boots have arrived, I'll get them fitted this weekend. Got my money's worth out of the old ones - the new ones are probably 10mm greater in diameter - perhaps my speedo will be more accurate now! Dyslexic Viking, mk2_craig, doug and 3 others 6

You were following a new Porsche 911 up the slip road, which spent the next 40 miles failing to hold a steady speed in the middle lane. 🙄 lesapandre and doug 2
