Hi I used Halfords grey bumper paint and built it up with lots of thin coats. To be honest, though, I wouldn't recommend it without seeking advice from a professional - I didnt use any elasticisers or other additives which are probably required (but don't take my word for it) and it is flaking behin...

Doh ! Of course - cheers Geoff

Thanks Geoff

That image would suggest it - mine is a 2000 facelift model though and I'm not sure how it differs from the earlier models.

Cheers

Well the van has been good since last posting this thread (touch wood it continues that way). However, I am still without the HOLD feature. Can anyone tell me if the gear selector is serviceable or more precisely if it is possible to remove the HOLD button. I finally got around to having another loo...

That looks really smart

Thanks Simon - I cleaned up the pipe and gave it a lick of paint - temp job really and will revisit to do a proper job soon. I need to get under the van and tidy a few other things up too.

Checked the ATF and its nice and clear (smells ok too - although not sure what I should be smelling for ... presumably nasty burnt smell to accompany nasty burnt colour) - level is good too.

(approx 1m length, 16mm internal bore rubber heater hose running behind rear of engine between drivers side and passenger side ) Passenger side: http://s1287.photobucket.com/us...

I've seen a few with that upholstery/colour scheme on here and on ebay

Thanks Mike, Adrian has done a few jobs for me and is my first choice when I don't have the time or feel I don't have the capability - I can't fault him great bloke does great work and very reasonable prices Thanks Rita I think you're right and will check level and condition tomorrow - it's been a c...

Good point - I didn't hear it when I drove round the block (4 mile round trip) - I have things on today but will gIve it a good run tomorrow to check and report back - thanks

G1 PBB took the RAE when I was 14 but haven't been on air for about 20 years reminds me I need to update my address

my dad is G8 OMC and my grandad was G4 VLY

Thanks Geoff I removed the gear selector etc as per your link and had a quick look but there was nothing obvious with the blue wire so i will have to do a bit more digging. However, I'm inclined to agree it seems to be the most plausible explanation particularly as moving the cable / shifting the se...

Thanks Geoff - you don't think it could be ECU related then ?
