I know that when converting a series to v8 a remote is necessary, as the filter goes the axle. My 101 is currently a parts filling system, so I can't get to it.

That is your problem, just there. Sainsbury's. Around here they're happy if you don't use a bucket and actually pay.

Photos of pump? Not familiar with red top pumps. Do you use a swirl pot or tank? I suspect you might have a EFI pump. Get the standard RRC pump and see what happens.

Which engine? Is it a stage 1?

Oh, and jerry cans are great!

Photos please?

I think some civvy spec 109" were used by the forces. Most military were underseat tanks though.

Or reverse the wires?

Can't go wrong with a couple of earth straps between the engine block and the chassis. It's a common problem that the lead fails.

Bear in mind this was done in a hurry as I had a ferry to catch. And I've discrete oil and charge coolers in front of the series radiator. I cut away the horn mounting to get this to "work".

I can't remember exactly how much I took out. I'll take a photo in the morning if I remember. Are you keeping the TDI oil cooler? Or series oil filter?

Back of the head, back of the block.

Seriously though. You've a brick with huge tyres and very low gearing using an engine designed when petrol was cheaper than water. It's not going to be competitive with anything, bar a petrol HGV.

They're great on fuel. They love it.

If your want economy, buy a Yaris hybrid. Or a Dacia jogger with camper insert.

Including jerry cans? Or standard tank? Think it's 20 gal. MPG is from 5 to 20, depending on road, load, engine and gearing. Say 12? For a V8. 20 for a diesel.

Richard hall has a kit that ensures the carb is ethanol resistant, he reworked the Indian knock offs to be decent. He's on eBay. Glencoyne engineering.

Think so, the suffix A had a different reverse gear, and you've to change all gears to match, if you can get them. Get the parts manual out and start writing down the parts you need.
