Van started fine yesterday morning, but after running for 2 or 3 minutes started to stutter , I took her out and normal driving didn't seem to be a problem, but went the petrol station and she wouldn't start , just kept turning over, but then eventually started, but when revving there is a bit of bl...

I have a 100w flex on and a dual controller, so should be ok when I add another panel.

Thanks for the reply, I probably will disconnect myself when I get another panel. When I put another panel on do the wires just go Into the controller as normal.

Might seem like a daft question but how does a solar panel and split charging system work together. I have had a split charger fitted to my van for a few years and it works very well. Yesterday I fitted a solar panel on the roof and was wondering how they both work in conjunction with each other. Th...

I was just concerned that I had a problem with the chamber and that contributed to the death of my auto box. .?

Thanks guys, ag going to try and fit the box today.

Hi, can anyone answer what my seem a daft question. I have a 2.1 Automatic and am in the middle of fitting a second hand gearbox.As I am swapping some of the bits and pieces over, I thought I would just check a few things. On my original gearbox you can blow through ( using a air line ) the cooler a...

It's an automatic gearbox that goes into gear ok and sets off ok but won't drop into 3 rd gear?.
Does anyone know why this has happened just out of the blue.
It's ran perfect and never missed a beat until now.

Feel gutted just set off on holiday for the weekend , going to VW show at Uttoxeter and my auto gearbox has just packed up. So I had to limp home with a packed van and 3 rather upset grandkids and of course the good lady wife.
This is a good start to my 2 weeks holiday.....

Thanks for your help rob. Can you pm me with how much you want for a box
Thanks

No not changed the filter. Am going to change it this week.
Hope it's not the box rob as supposed to be going on a holiday next week on a bit of a tour .
Fingers crossed . I don't think you can get the boxes fixed . ?. Secondhand or manual conversion.

I hope I am wrong , as We are supposed to be going on a 2 week jaunt the week after next. My van is a 2.1 Dj automatic. Today whilst driving it seemed to change down then back up again on a straight road whilst under no load. Late on when I came to back onto my drive it really clunked when going int...

my van is an auto , would this make any difference. Can't see any straps by the gearbox

Been replacing some of the old earth straps and don't know why but I thought that the starter should have an earth from the body/ bolts to the chassis ?. Am I right or wrong. ? .starts perfect ( touch wood ) except if it's really hot when on a run and then it's slightly lazy but only for a split sec...

Thanks guys, need to take the rear window out anyway to make sure there is no rust starting. Never done this before, fingers crossed
