now that's funny

have no clue which one is on your car.i used my number plate on the search..
put yur number plate in the website and find out what they recommend, although IIRC the later cars had the saginaw, early was ZF and all the reservoirs were marked ZF

scroll to the bottom and use the classic version of the site.

i made it work.

rack for my reg number -

i take it this is a 18SV carbed auto yes? if so, i dare say it's like my 16sv auto and has not got the standard idle speed adjuster like a manual has, near the throttle cable. the siemens EZ plus ignition controller handles lots of the ignition/advance/throttle jacking etc functions and the std idle...

Yeah, don't look like I will be scrapping this one any time soon it seems.

Gosh! so long between updates! Good old Dippy XE passed it's 10th MOT today during my ownership. couple of advises for once (as a new MOT ticket guy - where I go, did the test, he's far too keen! Car was older than him mind!) nothing major though, now on 205000, no welding yet. Advise both front tyr...

This the one advertised near Bristol lately?
looks lovely. nearly went to see it myself (think it's the same one)

your memory is so poor Andrei! i brought my carrier bag full to a meet and you had one off of me and iirc bought me a beer.. the thermal fuses (187 deg C iirc) are freely available making the resistor pack fairly fixable as long as the resistance winding is sound, as long as you don't try and solder...

heater fan motors - it's always the low speed winding on the resistor that goes! If you haven't been in there yet, take the rubber seal and the scuttle panel off, unclip the cover over the motor, remove the 2 screws holding the motor down, disconnect the 2 supply wires, resistor and lift the motor o...

Interesting you should mention the gauge calibration Robsey, I too have a similar thing with my Euro digidash, displays in gallons, but on a brimmed fill it shows 14 gallons initially on the forecourt, soon dropping to 13. I take that to mean 13 whole gallons left (as it does go down to 1 eventually...

coil pack.

unless you have a massive misfire, leave it alone

That is a superb one Alan. nice with the right amount of doors too...

welcome

blue pipe goes to the recirculation capsule for the recirc button. the hose elbow needs fixing as it's teed' into the fuel pressure regulator.

if you get 12 3 times, then again 3 times, when it's running, IIRC thats fine. problem is you may be getting a momentary fault that does not give a permanent EML. if the O2 sensor is good, and nothing else silly is going on, then you may be looking at the fairly prevalent ecowrec stuff like - cam se...

Pleasure Dave,
you have lots of shinyness under the back of the V6 there..
lovely stuff

all those are decent with me Dave.

o dear. the gist is "give us some more notice please" is I really want to come and chew the cavvy cud and am pissed off that I can't, it's a massive disappointment thing, I'm not being aggressive to you for christ sake! I am telling you I am naffed off I can't make it, but I just can't as ...

yeah, have a coolant header tank for you too, but the meet is far too short notice for me I'm afraid. I never asked for one, did I? :scratch :lol: No worries mate, we may well postpone it if nobody else shows interest, we both figured with this break in the wind + rain etc, some people may be up fo...

won't make that, already committed at the weekend.

for various reasons I didn't even go, but had a call from my ledge MIG friend who was up there doing the searching and he bagged me a new cavvy aircon/recirc flaps etc heater fan assembly/casing, with the correct 4 speed fan resistor, with round pins not flat ones, for £15. what a leg. as mine is we...

There are rpm signal converters available, that simply increase or reduce the pulses per rpm by some weird electronic multiplication thingy. I know Dom at Picbitz has been doing these for years, and is still working on his design. And I have seen mention on various VW camper forums about signal con...

Looking good dave.
Try the online opel parts cat.
Cant remember the address and am away at the mo.

no removing of bonnet when we did mine.
just unbolt it all, tug it out, leave the box where it is. piece of piss

probable aftermarket cruise control actuator. maybe the rest of it has been binned out already?
