Sooo.... All sorted. thanks to my engine being an old passat/jetta/golf mk2 number I didn't have to loosen anything, there was a short piece of rubber fuel line coming out of the injector nearest to the back of the van with a little stopper in the end. Was able to pop that out and, with the help of ...

Thank you, much appreciated. Will give it a go and report back...

Hi My random fuel gauge and a manic week has caught me out and I ran out of fuel this morning, luckily just outside my home... I have topped up with diesel but there is clearly air in the fuel line and the engine won't start.. Is there an idiot's guide on how to bleed the fuel lines anybody can poin...

Wow, an impressive thread for sure Badgerfax!

Great to catch up at the weekend, hope the cooked breakfast was up to scratch. We had a good journey back in the van. Bring The Toad to Hastings some time, would love to have a look see. J

Very high pressure pulses through those pipes. Think the relative legths might be important too... might be from unions due bad alignment or over tightening. Always hand start the unions on hydraulic fittings until sure running up thread true. Then spanner but do not horse them up.. nip and a bit.....

Yeah, that looks like it although mine still looks like a bit of an odd set up to my inexpert eyes... I can still see that getting some sort of anti-vibration stuff in there would be useful. Here's a picture of me pipes from a distance... http://instagram.com/p/qSI_5MwUSp/" onclick="window...

Take a look at this thread http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=133600 and this will show you what your pipes should look like. Yours are all over the place! Brilliant, thank you. My engine is an SB 1.6 TD engine code although I can't find any diagrams of it anywhere in terms of wha...

Are you sure that it isn't diesel? Just that I notice that you are missing the anti-vibration clamps on the injector feed pipes. From that I would hazard a guess at a fractured pipe has been caused. (Lube oil on a diesel gets black very quickly unless it is a new engine) Should be easy enough to de...

Firstly, what is the LDA? and what does LDA stand for? :? I've noticed oil misting when the van is running - I'm calling it misting as the stuff isn't spraying everywhere, it just looks like a fine mist/steam but it has started to collect as oil in some places......it appears to be coming from gener...

Sounds great! Nice photos too.

Glad to hear you had a good trip!

sounds great! we love bodiam castle. the three chimneys pub near sissinghurst castle is worth a visit too

not sure about the immediate area but about twenty mins away is bodiam which has a campsite and it's own castle too...

cheers Patrick, we can't wait to go back and explore!

Hi So, we (me, L and the kids) went to France for a week at the beginning of this month. The day before we were due to go there was sleet, rain and freezing temperatures in East Sussex. It was the first time we'd taken the van abroad and, despite it being given the once over by Resto Classics (http:...
