Common cause is a faulty mass airflow MAF. There are 2 types so you need to match the number sticker on yours.

Try what Geoff said. 🙂
That broken pipe is unlikely to cause the flashing light.
Common causes of the flashing light: Fuse number 1 (in the fuse box by the drivers knee) can fail.
If the auxiliary fan (scavenger fan) is running all the time, then the temperature sensor by the handbrake is ...

Which engine has it got?

Theres a number on a sticker, on your alternator. You might have to remove the alternator to see it. Then you can match an alternator.
Also in the UK you can get alternators refurbished. I dont know if US has this service.

You can use freeze spray on the pipe, to help remove it, twisting it out. When you fit the new 3-way pipe, put sealer on it and tap the pipe fully into place. That's all the way down to the flange on the pipe. Otherwise they can pop off.

Great photos, IOM sounds lovely!

Very smart, these vans can be worth saving.

Thanks, that's helpful. Have a good trip!

We've got them before from our Mazda main dealer, Vospers. We phoned them. The parts were always on 'back order' which meant it took from a few days to a few months to arrive.

We've modified one to take the gullwing seat.
You cut the panel and seat mountings out of one that has a gullwing seat.
Remove your side panel (where the seat will fit).
Clean the sticky stuff off.
Weld the gullwing mountings in place. Then weld the gullwing panel in place - the mountings fit ...

Great result! Got to love a cheap fix. Yes new air and fuel filter wont do any harm. Keep in mind that if you out more diesel cleaner in now, you might get more muck in the fuel filter. So finish that process before you change it.

Its unusual not to find a filter under the spring.
Theres another banjo filter on the back of the pump but you have to strip the pump to access it. That's not an easy job.
You could pour some diesel cleaner and run that through.
