ok I had a similar problem on my dg 1.9. I rebuilt the carb and the dizzy, changed basically everything without stripping the engine. Before you go to those lengths Just as a matter of interest have you checked the non return valve from the manifold. Its the white hard plastic pipe to the left hand ...

Hi there, does the problem start as soon as you set off from cold or when the engine is warmed through and up to temperature

Hi all :D :D :D :D :D think ive finally got it !!!! Hair line crack in the servo vacuum non return valve fitting where it connects to the manifold. It was only by chance that I noticed the fitting was a little slack when the engine was nicely warmed up. Took it off ( I can hear you all saying "...

Hi there, the van has always ticked over at round about 900-1000 rpm and up until the present issue has run with 0 problems, I could try increasing it to see if it makes any difference. (would that involve the co screw at the bottom of the carb?) Thanks for the info re the sender unit, saves me a jo...

Hi all, been working away, ive just got back to sorting the van and here's the latest update. Stripped and rebuilt the carb using the brickwerks kit, no change to the running performance ( incidentally the diaphragms and seals were in remarkable condition given the vans age, I'm sure they were all t...

Hi guys, just a quick question, when the Haynes manual talks about possible air leaks around the manifold inlet pipes as a possible cause of engine stutter what exactly is it referring to

oooh right where do I start.... thanks by the way for all your suggestions, ive checked the cone shaped filter, clean. Didn't know you had to depress the accelerator fully to reset the choke :shock: ive not looked at the choke mechanism spring yet but I have sprayed wd40 all over the pan to check fo...

I am, Haven't done the zenon timing check because the guy who said he had one couldn't find it, typical, ill have to buy one. I haven't touched the fuel enrichment, not sure how to do it ? The van runs fine, ticking over at about 900rpm when she first starts then as she starts to get to temp that's ...

Hi all, a little update on the caravelle. Changed the hall sender unit today, removing the dizzy and fitting the Brickwerks replacement so promptly sent (thanks) Had to remodel the plug unit to the dizzy as its around 5mm wider than the original but once fitted and the dizzy replaced she fired up fi...

lovely thanks very much

brilliant food for thought like I said earlier the hall sender unit the whole dizzy and the carb are the only bits I've not actually stripped or changed. The hall sender unit might be the next step, can I buy the actual plug and re crimp it or , what i mean is i know the plug connects on the side of...

No ive not got one but I know a man who has
Will try that tomorrow then, thanks

vwKat, LOL :D at this rate it will not be long before it is out though The initial problem started around 40mins into a trip then cleared. The van was used the next day covering around 10miles without problem. On the return trip home on the A18 it started again and got worse so in both cases the run...

Thanks for that, ill try anything, what is more frustrating is the fact that were not getting off at the weekends, we have missed just 4 in the past year, the weathers changing a bit which doesn't really bother us but I need to sort it. I know more about the bus than I thought I ever would and I'm d...

Well when it first happened the nice AA man told me he suspected an earth fault, he rerouted several of the earths and over the next day or so I renewed the rest, this was only in the engine bay though. Ive not changed the big earth strap from the gear box to the mainframe. The problem persisted and...
