I have a working transit diesel engine with pump, manifold and milner plate from a series 3 which was put back to original, its down in west cornwall, i was going to put it in my petrol but instead kept that in original spec and found a diesel 109 instead,

Regular traffic is being routed through goonhavern and zelah to the north and all high sided vehicles are being routed to the south through tresillian/ladock so the usual local knowledge routes to avoid the everyday a30 jams are out of the window til monday, If i was planning on travelling I...

good morning, as above re the vid, have you got a pic just for interest, if its been newly renovated it may be some parts are coming loose, ie suspension and gearbox mounts Perhaps the handle really does have loose nuts and bolts rattling around, Atb and good luck,

The Martin Jennings memorial run is on sunday so expect to see masses of bikes in the area, estimates are 1500+ but given the weather could be a lot,lot more on the a30 chivener to camborne 2pm ish, Delays expected, I'm going on it but if i wanted to avoid the run and the extensive a30 carland...

mine was absolutely shot but welding in new pillars and footwells got it safe enough to drive, the welding practice was not unenjoyable and this year i felt confident enough to weld my van up for its mot rather than paying somebody,

You can get galv primer as a solution, i belive it is phosphoric acid based, it etches the galv, There is also rustoleum special paint primer which says suitable for galv on the label which i used when i painted my galv chassis, tbh it didnt seem a good product as it dried quickly and seemed...

Yes but not guaranteed, Blue hylomar is what i use, Good luck

For engine internals i would be wary of online ebay purchases, I would suggest putting those down to experience and buy from turners or another respected supplier with a u.k based shop and helpful staff,

Thats good to hear

I would forget it unless you would like to be involved in costly litigation, I dont think any seller would be liable for anything once a non qualified home mechanic has had something apart and then fixed it, If you take it to get an experts written report at your cost then you may get the price...

Does it make a difference if when it wont turn over to use a socket wrench to advance the engine just 1 turn or over the next compression position then give it another go. I once had prob with hydraulic locking on one cylinder when not started up for a time which did the cables in when under...

From the official guidelines relating to permitted upgrades and still be t&t exempt, veedub folk, as a pal is are up on this stuff with t25 vans being turned into campers, 'Changes of a type that were made when in production or within 10 years of the end of production' Thats a definite yes to...

Loosen the shackles a bit, plenty of oil in the leaves and go for a slow, careful bumpy drive about can help get them settled, Good luck, Edit. Then re-tighten.

For your valve seats as posts above, if and when they get bad get the head converted to unleaded, some say dont buy any additive, just keep the money in your pocket and by the time you have any valve seat issues you will have saved far more than the conversion costs, My unleaded conversion cost...

It needs skimming

My mot garage will make up a replacement line for self fitting for £10

I would put new lines on if the mot tester has advised that they are corroded, not a hard or expensive job, corroded lines which have been painted over can pop just when you dont want them to, Atb and good luck

perhaps putting a feed direct to your coil+ from the battery and then turning the key will start it and confirm that you will have to buy the correct petrol switch which is different than the diesel one, Atb and good luck.

I would suggest that you put all the head bolts back in, torque them back up and then follow the correct procedure, uneven tightening and loosening can warp the head, the loosening is the reverse of the tightening, on any engine i initially just undo in the correct sequence each bolt just half a...

I'm fairly sure my 2a had the firing order cast into the manifold,
