If it is a Ducato/Boxer/Relay, I'd have a look at the Fuel Filter Housing and see if it is wet?After passing it’s MOT on Friday I drove this morning noticed the whiff of diesel, having stopped off in Norfolk and seeing I was dripping diesel, I found a local garage, my suspicion is that it’s one of the return hoses that has split. Tried to start the van to take to said garage and it started, then stopped now won’t start at all. What I did to my van this morning… sighed loudly and swore a bit
Why yes it is split return hose as suspected. Replaced the split section and will be replacing the whole set (same age so the rest should really be done) when I pick up the kit and get to a friends workshop.If it is a Ducato/Boxer/Relay, I'd have a look at the Fuel Filter Housing and see if it is wet?
Talking of which, my 25 yr old Pollensa has no way of completely draining other than removing all the pipes. The Carver Cascade has a drain hole, but inside the hab area the plumbing pipes to all taps and the pump have no means of draining. In order to unscrew the strainer from the Shurflo I have to lie in two different positions on the floor, point a screwdriver upwards, remove three screws holding the seat cushion to the bed frame, slide the bed frame open, then I can kneel very painfully on the floor to get at the five screws holding the plywood cover (which is carpeted with original AutoSleeper carpet) over the water heater and Shurflo. Remove the two sheets of plywood and place somewhere out of the way, with the seat cushion. Then I can unscrew the water strainer and remove a couple of jubilee clips around the water pipes. Water stuck the wrong side of a non return valve will not drain.Drained the water tank and heating system down, first frost on the workshop roof this morning.
Yes it does, that will drain the hot water from the Carver but looking at the pipes inside I don't think it will drain everything. Actually I seem to remember a widget at the NEC where they pump air into the water filler and the compressed air blows it out . . . . . . . but that won't work because the water tank is ventilated as it has to be otherwise you couldn't suck water from it . . . . . .Doesnt the carver have a plastic bung on the outside near the gas vent with a big screwdriver slot thet drains it down
I hope they haven't left something loose and it has fallen off . . . . .. I had a mechanic do my brakes once, in Leicester. I drove to Liverpool, got on the ferry. Soon after I got to the Isle of Man the steering went all clonky. The mechanic had done up the wheel nuts finger tight and the wheel was all loose.Really chuffed last week full service and cambelt water pump and poly v belts all fitted £1100, started van this morning after checking the oil and water and there is a death rattle coming from the cam belt area, garage coming out on monday to look, so tyre fitment is on hold
Just out of interest, something I have always wanted to know: are fork lift trucks four wheel drive? The engine is obviosly at the back, and most traction would be to the heaviest end which logically would be the front. Which wheels are driven?Fitted a HD anti theft device !View attachment 74258
