Thanks for that. Priced a 2nd hand one up £50 +vat.

Recently i have noticed a metallic rattle when the engine is running so had a look today and found that the crank pulley has separated with the back half coming away from the rubber mount. Question is. Is this repairable or do i need a new pulley? Also does anyone know the size of the crank bolt ...

Sorry i meant to let you know how it went but as normal i forgot :roll:
I cut the pipe and took it into work. Gave it a good clean up then put a bit of air pressure into it and found there was a very small hole in the brazing of the T piece. So got someone in work to do a good repair job for me ...

Thats the one
I think it will have to be cut then joined with a small piece of hose as there doesn't seam enough room to slide it out. Unless someone comes up with an easy way to get it out then i think this is going to be the way i will go

This is the pipe

This is the metal pipe where the 'T' piece that is leaking comes off.

It is a diesel van i have but those pics dont show the metal pipe im on about. It is heater hose size. Looks like i might have to go out in the rain to take a few pics.

The front end of the metal pipe bends up in the engine bay and has 2 outlets on. 1 to the heater and 2 the thin pipe to the header tank. The pipe is clipped to the n/s chassis and runs along bu the side of the engine. When you lift the seat and look down its right there. There is a 'T'piece coming ...

Thanks but thats not the pipe. I should be able to get the pipe i have repaired in work. I just need to know how to get it out without cutting it in half.

It seems that i have a leak on the 'T' piece on the metal pipe which runs under the passengers seat.
I'v got all the hoses off and away from all the clips. But HOW! do i get the pipe out from the van? Im getting to the point of cutting it in half and then just joining it back together with a hose ...

Think we might have problems getting us all in there in the sumer. Would be good to try though.

What an excellent turn out, 20 or so vans on a cold Saturday
Was good to start meeting you all. Me and Jan look forward to more meets but hopefully in some warmer weather.

Well iv just got in from work. So im off to bed for a few hours and hope to wake up in time to get there. See you all later.
