  2. Diesel Bug ?

    i have a new suggestion about the immovable van - from my AA mechanic neighbour.... he said to consider the stalling is caused by the ineffectivenerss of the stop solenoid on the diesel pump not allowing fuel to flow properly..... do i recall that a solenoid needs an electrical cable to it...
  3. Diesel Bug ?

    morning all... the diesel additive has not arrived yet... but talking to someone today who wondered if my issue could be fuel flow-back? (i think that is the right term) and maybe the stop solenoid on the diesel pump is ineffective ? could that be as simple as a lose wire - or is my...

    good morning everyone... hope you are all well.. i am sadly preparing the Delica for sale. It was sorned for 2-3 years and moved infrequently but passed its MOT last March. Now it has symptoms suggesting diesel bug and/or fuel pipe/pump problems. i am really interested if anyone else with...

    David - i miss David - he was always argumentative but very funny - and Channa's wealth of life experiences and recipes and contributions were a major reason for me to stay as long and as regularly as i did..... and the beautiful lady who died far too young from dementia whose partner was...

  10. Anyone Experienced Problems Entering/Exiting Europe Recently?

    This is copied from another forum today about conditions in France as we speak...... as you get to the end sounds horrific "" We are currently on tour in France and have been for two weeks now. Thought it might be useful to let people know that we are both double vaccinated so getting in...
  11. Check your tyres

    MOT only looks at the depth of tread,. not the condition (unless obviously degraded) nor the age. When i bought my van it passed 3 MOTs before i had a blow out and discovered i had 2 12 year old tyres and 2 20 years old tyres!!! the age is on the tyre.....

  15. Fiamma Guttering - is there a cheaper alternative?

    thank you for the kind offer of the WC pony express.... i think in view of the cheapness of the item i can go to screwfix a couple of miles away and get what i need.... but thanks for your generous thought.... . i plan to use this for a new length of guttering along one side of the van...
  16. Fiamma Guttering - is there a cheaper alternative?

    thanks i love the lateral thinking here - so do you only use one part of this and it self-sticks to the van and catches the rain and looks like a little square plastic gutter ?
  17. Fiamma Guttering - is there a cheaper alternative?

    hi i want to replace a missing stretch of metal guttering, and thought i would replace the whole side with one piece of rubber guttering; and also replace the perishing black rubber "trim" above my cab which is ancient and dribbling black mess every time it rains. Fiamma wants nearly £90...
