The Conversion

Yes a very helpful chap, his brother died a few years back. I was trying to get a DAF D4 to work with an eberspacher controller. He didn’t think you could without changing the ecu. It might be possible now as the new generation of eberspachers are digital and so is it’s controller.

Servicing your eberspacher, should you or shouldn’t you. I’m afraid that as years have gone on I’m becoming a fan of “if it’s working, leave it alone “. Now eberspacher servicing is a bit more involved than changing the oil and there is a chance you’ll damage it. Worse still you give the job to...

First confirm your theory by visiting a new van dealership. If they are greased you want a waterproof grease, most are not. Morris oils make one and I’m sure others do too.

I’m disappointed that you didn’t offer to help him build one, that way you could have shared the errors and mistakes. Sickening to spend that kind of money for a low build quality. There are lots of utube posts on how not to construct, with the authors being proud of their shoddy work.

T Time for a new husband, what a waste of food! ;)

That’s cruel pointing out what you used to charge. Did your boss know about it. ;)

Have you tested them. ;)

I had a Volvo 740 one owner full service history 99k on the clock. All the running gear had to be replaced, I bet the oil filter had a wipe round and that was all.

Funny as I’ve just asked a Mercedes dealer if the manufacturers guarantee would still be valid if I didn’t have them service it. To my surprise they said yes providing I used genuine service parts.

I'd be tempted to use talcum powder first as a lubricant.

I think Murky started life as a coach, before being used it was converted to an ambulance. The workmanship of raising the floor was appalling. The original parts had a thick coating of something that held back corrosion. I found when repairing it at least four layers of patches! I ended up...

Leaving the window open with the felt in place for a few days should help form the felt. I'm guessing you tried the windows before fitting them? If they were ok before I expect you've bent the window :(

I have the original build sheets for Murky and Betty ( T2/LN1 and Vario ) Both had the option for anti corrosion treatment, but never received it. Just been looking at buying a new Vito and it's not on the options.

Today I finished of one of my window demisters, yes I know I don’t have double glassing but this should do the trick. What I have done is seal the ends of some aluminium box section. Drilled some small holes in the top face close to the glass. In the bottom I have fitted a dog legged aluminium...
