Re: Diesel in on board water tank!!
I assume this is sorted out by now, but if anyone is searching for a solution and checks this thread, take a look at Bio Magic Tank cleaner (see http://www.dairymax-uk.co.uk/ ) There are more up-to-date company websites, or they sell on Amazon, but that site has more info at the moment. I saw it rec...

Re: Draining Coolant
From looking at the manual I thought the top-hose drain plug was behind the radiator. Looking at these diagrams, it's under the driver's seat. I can't find it in either place! Can anyone give a bit more of a clue or a picture to help locate it? is it only visible after the plastic undershield is re...

Re: Can you tell what it is yet?
Hi Dave, you sent me a copy of your drawings. Thanks for that. Where did you get the seat swivel, and how did you choose the version? I found http://www.campervanconversion.co.uk/shop/c/seat-swivels , but there are a lot of different models there! Maybe you could contact them, and let them market yo...

Re: Engine warm-up Exhaust flap
Hi D+P, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I wasn't following the thread properly after my last post... Anyway, I took my tyre pressures up to 40psi after the last fill-up, and the last 190 miles was two 60-mile runs plus a little local running, being light-footed. That turned in 22mpg. I've ...

Re: Engine warm-up Exhaust flap
I'm surprised that I've not been able to find an exploded diagram for that part . Let us know what you find out... There are diagrams in the engine manual. The rod pushes and pulls a crank on a shaft carrying a butterfly valve. There are two bolts sticking up that can be adjusted as stops to set th...

Re: Engine warm-up Exhaust flap
That's right. Item 13-540 in that diagram. Ah well, it was stuck, but in the right position (the rod was 'pushed' out). By working the valve backwards and forwards with a socket on the end of the shaft, I freed it, then found that if the switch was on the rod was pulled. It's working now, in case I ...

Engine warm-up Exhaust flap
Hi, I want to check that the exhaust shutter is properly open. From the engine manual illustrations the lever is moved by a diaphragm and rod. Could anyone tell me whether the rod pushes or pulls to open the flap? Otherwise I think I'll need to remove the unit so I can see through the pipe. At the m...

Re: London Low Emissions Zone
Just checked my reg and they have it down as exempt already. Looks like they've been listening.
