 in farnham surrey  have lost count of the amount i have repaired restored if i can help paul

would agree with tim at least you know what you have ls hopefully not full of bodges cover ups 

can still be rad had it myself , water flowed out bottom hose removed exchange rad fine , does it boil up heater hot ?

must have had some flow would have boiled up running a hour . a air lock that sorted itself or stat 

l would not use it if something goes wrong earth wise possible fire , drill a new hole  my opinion .

think you will find they are all the same , hard to find with out the glass second hand  though 

yep and i said the same way back on the same page as you glang agree ignition light but a few basic checks need doing paul

but said light was going out when i asked him 

could even be the starter going to earth , really needs to   do some basic checks when he returns from his run out , battery may be ok is the dynamo charging is the wiring from the dynamo ok to be honest not hard to find the problem . bit of detective work required paul

have one looks quite good condition  fully kitted at, present, will have a good look at it tomorrow paul

dip stick then. the one that checked the oil

used to happen on old engines had a peugeot gti . silicone held it in place until sold in auction . best way to find out give the engine quick clean with brake cleaner give it a run have a look. think you are probably correct not pushed in properly paul

unless the transit engine is very worn , excessive crank case pressure

that will depend on what silencer box is fitted / taking a reference point from the silencer wont really work

has the original floor totally been cut away or just plated over

sure should be on the bolt side not nut bonnet fitting

not sure while back since i did mine , they may be handed 

true

properly better without doors easier to get in and out, at my age anyhow . not helpful i know

things will be ok for a while battery will properly go flat though,

got any pics paul

not actually saying it is the dynamo , but a few basic tests could save you wasting money , may just be the terminals corroded on the control box or inside , have had it happen on my vitesse bit cleaning up was fine paul

did it come on when you turned the ignition on

i would charge the battery start the car see if ignition light goes out when you rev the engine or flickers then you can do a few simple tests, paul

is the red light ignition light going out
