I saw one lad changing all the old tensioner's first. Then he split the old belt in two with a knife leaving half in place (now a narrow belt) and pulling the outer half off. Popped the new belt on, before cutting the inner narrow strip of old belt off, meaning the timing could not slip. But it...

Thank you for the above links. I stumbled across this click, it may or may not be of interest to you, data sheets in PDF on the right hand side

No John, all the V8 Scania's especially on front spring as they get older, all start to lean towards the offside. Its because of the engine rotation fighting against the chassis and the high engine torque. So in the event of this happening, to compensate Thwaites/Lister filled the other side...

MK 1 Granada (from the Sweeney) classy avatar .................. I'm guessing 2.5 V6 manual with those spotlights?

Get waxed bait blocks (Big Cheese blocks are good) and tie to a piece of wire, drop in the hole and inspect every few days. E-Bay will have them in stock if you cant get them locally.

Usually best when learning a new language to allow yourself to enjoy the simple projects they cover. As most are covering main building blocks, that you will use in different applications of your own. Some good tutorials on U-Tube view out in U-Tube (bottom right button) to see more examples. .

Consider a 50mm flat top kerb stone, very tidy and easy to keep. Neater than the round top and easy to make corners if you needed/wanted too, using a simple timber mound.

On the positive side, it would be worse if you hadn't a turbo whistle. Watch for the pipes moving when you go into the revs, might see something? Disconnect the air filter box to test ..........

Yes it all adds up, you might get one already converted in the classifieds, try Gumtree.co.uk. just pop in make and your post code, see whats about, in your area.

SLK Mercedes, might be worth considering ............. ~Old Thread I know

Put the but on the shed roof (or a bracket on the house wall) for faster watering, pipe house downpipe into it

We blip the revs, because you're only a blip away from letting the revs off, so no drive. Very useful if you might hit an obstacle, in unknown ground. Flat out with the finger hard on, snap a drive .............

Has this happened while you owned the van, or did you buy it with this problem?

Consider a secondhand engine or at least the bottom half, if the light was on for any length of time, with the engine running?

The starter is working? Check to see if the brake lights are working? Check for bad connections blown fuses? Then I'm afraid you'll have to get it plugged into a fault code reader (or laptop) to see the fault codes), any small garage will do this for you. just ask the cost up front, if your on...
