OK, thanks for that, will give it a go tomorrow...

update (just in case anyone has interest) Drove 25 miles to work this morn, popping and missing in 4th. Home journey tonight, didnt miss a beat.. What the blithering heck?

thanks all for your suggestions.

Will check wiring to it.

In the meantime might replace coil also. I havent changed it since I have had the van..

As a footnote… drove home tonight, 25 miles and the van didnt miss a beat… so intermittent to say the least

Hey guys, Long time no post. Hope someone can help Recently the van has developed this strange problem. Idles at just over 1000rpm, but when I put my foot down it pops and hesitates. I can get going slowly and drive at low RPM but when I put my foot down it starts spluttering and pops at the back. T...

Hi guys, Just a quick question. The vans biting point has always been pretty high and sometimes it feels after I have changed gear and taken my foot off the clutch that its still engaged and revs higher with not much movement. Yesterday, while in traffic lights on a hill, I was riding the clutch on ...

thanks guys, bought the replica from Brickwerks (3rd one now), it fits tight. Maybe a good shout with speedo cable... will see if i can push it back a bit

Hi guys, as per title, has this happend to anyone? Cant figure it out. Have lost 3 now on the road, with speedo clip on also. So I make sure the cap is square on the hub. Use a socket and then tap the cap on as far as it goes, but within a few miles of driving it always comes off...

Done it, got there in the end. Really annoying intermittent cranking, didnt use a charger.. managed to get it turning over, and started on petrol. Then wouldnt turn over again.. How annoying. Took main battery lead off starter and cleaned this up. Turned over ok. Thanks for the help. Seperate note, ...

makes sense.. Borrowed one of those 6 in 1 halford chargers, so thats charging now, will give that a go.. The fact that there is a voltage drop when turning the key also suggests that the ignition switch is ok?? If no luck with battery charger, will clean up all connections by starter...Starter was ...

Connectors arrived from Brickwerks.. Plumped in, ignition on, switch to petrol on LPG controller, clicking noise. presume thats good. Check for leaks. All good. Turn to start the van, nothing, doesnt even turn over. 12.2v then 10.9 v when I go to crank. FFS. Only thing I have touched to stop it not ...

This morning I went back up to have a look at van. Managed to suck fuel up, but still nothing when I pressed the pump. Thats knackerd I presume. So I decided to try again on LPG, started and made it the 5 miles home. LPG station is 10 miles down the road, not sure if I should chance it...so will wai...
