Re: 2.1 DJ: Intermittent starting fault

Have you checked all earths ?

Had 2 years of similar experience and it was a rusty earth on ECU , in front of rear light cluster

Re: It won't start?

My on going starting problem ( same symptoms as yours ) was the earth from the ECU to corroded body work..

Moved the earth and that solved it.

Re: Bodyshop in the south (Dorset, Hampshire)

In New Milton is Home Grown Garage....great lads that have a passion for Campers.

Look them up , they put an upper front panel, 2 side panels and a lot of welding on my van last year (and I travelled from Surrey )..

great fair price and really nice blokes who know their stuff...

Re: Making New Curtains

My curtains are connected at both top and bottom of window so the spring runners across top and at bottom...if that makes sense,,

Four small holes in the metal allow the curtains , square as yours are, to be closed neatly ....then a peg in the middle so no gaps :ok

Droopy wiper

Evening all .. 2.1 Caravel 1988 petrol... and the wiper on the nearside has decided to only to rise one third of what it should, The drivers side thankfully is fine.

Is there an adjustment I can make to correct this please.

Thanks in advance

Re: gear lever snapped off

Few years ago at mot station the mechanic refused my advice to let me drive van on the ramp, due to the 'odd gearing' of the T25.. He refused saying he had driven every car on the road and then proceeded to snap the gear stick in two as he attempted to find first gear.... Now Im usually quite calm.....
