Its been a journey! They are great vans. I hope you enjoy yours.

Thank you. It's good to be back.

Thanks Sam. They are more like a medium wheelbase but they fit in normal car spaces just. Yes the power steering is a great difference compared to not having it in these vans. I've only got 2 more mods to do, diesel heater and a Lifepo4 battery going in this week. You need to look out for rust on these vans, normally the inner wings and the shuttle panel but these are available new. After some servicing and tweaking I can get 30mpg on a run on the petrol vans.

@@VanOnTour thanks for reply ,i aint having any luck with modern vans ,not reliable and expensive to mend as computer controlled ,the older vehicle easier to work on so cheaper and your mpg is impressive ,the modern van wont live as long as your talbot that i can guarantee so thats why im looking for a older van and they are well thought out got everything you need a wise choice and i see you've owned one before so they cant be that bad 😁

@samfletcher222 I've owned 3 now. Every breakdown I've had I've been able to repair at the side of the road with a few basic tools except for one time when my gear linkage snapped. They are so easy to get up and running again.

@@VanOnTour that’s brill you’ve no idea with modern one all electronics a right pain the hard bit is finding a good un but I’m not in a rush one will turn up

Thanks 👍

Thanks Dave. It's a work in progress!

It has a shroud. They're great vans!

@@VanOnTour Yeah that isn't enough.

They are great vans aren't they. I do prefer the petrol engines though. Ours is tax and MOT exempt in 8 years so I intend to keep her going.

@@VanOnTour Yes, great vans indeed, I can't see many new vans today lasting so long. They have great layouts for such small vans, everything is there that's needed.

More to come! Thank you.

I used conduit and ran it down from the battery to the back of the engine then diagonally across to the leisure battery.

Wow, thank you!

No error coad.

I've fitted over 30 of them and not had any serious problems.

It is and that is not the problem here.

@@VanOnTour When I got first time 08, Checked and cleaned the hoses, changed the pump, the 08 still came. Then took apart the heater and cleaned for soot, 08 still came. Then cleaned the exhaust pipe for soot, 08 still came, Worked for a while then 08 still came. Then took apart again to clean for soot, Thought that was clogged again from soot pipe, From this point hr started to work 5 minutes blowing cold air and coming with 03. I quit. Bought a new one. And again with a new one 08 comes again. Some KZbinr advised to make the hose short, from pump to heater. Mine was for about 8 inch, also pushing diesel with bubbles. Made it for about 3-4 inch, Some bubbles still a coming, But heater finally works. You gonna say it was about the clamps, Some air came thru pump... Right now the hoses to pump and from pump to heater are without clamps. On the old one hoses where tided with clamps.p

I'm back!

Thank you.

Change the pump. It's faulty.

Mine had blown out on startup in a gale.

Thank you. Yes I still have it and it's still going strong. 55K miles since owning it and not one breakdown.

@@VanOnTour Brilliant. Non turbo power, wind up windows. What’s there to go wrong? Here’s to the next 55. Cheers.

Glad it helped!

Thank you and good luck with your build.

The wind can do that. Park so the wind is not blowing into the exhaust.

Glad it helped!

Ah good to hear. Glad it helped.

Yes it is. Its steel. On the mk2 it is anodised aluminium.

@@wildernesslifecraft8180 Thank you

E-10 is normally power. Shorten the red positive lead to only what you need as it is too thin and causes voltage drop.

@@VanOnTour Thanks, fixed it eventually by raising voltage on the transformer. Great little heaters.

Run it at full blast for 15 minutes now and then. It helps keep the chamber clean.

@@VanOnTour aye. I think my kerosene had condensation in it. No idea how old it was.

Does it work if you raise the temp setting?

You have to adjust the min and max fan speeds too, if it runs too cool and errors reduce the maximum fan speed in increments until it runs hot and reliable.

Abi ırkçı oluyor bunlar türkçe anlatmiyorlar

I'm so glad it helped you.

Same here. I'm also a disabled senior. My heater starts, but sometimes shuts off. The winds are super high here since last night. When I get out of the van I'm going to turn it back on high for a bit. I also think I may have a dirty fuel filter.

@@TerriLynch park you van in a way that the wind cannot blow up your heater exhaust at all. Strong winds in the right direction will extinguish the heater when it blows up the exhaust.

I think the meths gives off some fumes

It's dangerous with any flame really and ventilation is a must but bio ethanol burns very clean with little carbon monoxide. I always crack the vent and a door when cooking in the van.

There are no drain holes. It's symmetrical. You drill a small hole in the lowest point of the exhaust as a drain hole.

@@VanOnTour the one I received has a drain hole on one side!

@@tonyl1483 that must be a fairly new thing then as I've fitted many and there was no drain hole.

@@VanOnTour I purchased the diesel heater 3 years ago!

Glad it helped!

Not yet. Planning on spring next year.

Yes still out and about. Not long spent 10 days at Stonehenge.

You're welcome. I'm glad it's still helping people.

And if it's faulty and doesn't pass either through as so many are?

I've covered 40k miles in mine now. Apart from a broken suspension spring and a failed starting motor she's been rock solid and I'm getting 50mpg on a run. Amazing vans.
