Also had fitted an extra long led rear tail stop lamp (which for some reason functions as expected on a 12v 17ah battery but tail function refuses to work despite confirming all connections are correct...the unused white reverse lets work on the tail light from van but the tail refuses!!! Brake leds work as expected tho so not a complete waste of 8quid hahaha

Question time
Between the bonnet and the 2 van bracket hinges is there usually a spacer of some sort perhaps about 3 or 4 mm? Feeling a few washers may need shoving in looking at the gap at top in side shot pic ....??!!

So tonight with help from a good pal fitted my new visor!!! Didn't wanna drill holes but it'll still rust somewhere if I didn't so may as well benefit from new toy!! Even stuck tiger seal in holes before stuck screws in to hopefully prevent rust!!!ImageImage

Well visor barely flinched to and from clackton...

Way up van ran so sweet couldnt believe it... more vacuum than I've ever seen and dudnt miss a beat no smell of over fuelling in cab too!!! Tonnes of power to play with and possibly quieter and more deeper note...
Way back idle was stuck at 2-2.5k ish?!? Lumpy and not much vac registering on gauge...
Got back ok but on inspection the idle adjustment grub screw has somehow found its way further in and the lock nut was free to spin....
Ergo i figure due to throttle not actually shutting there wasn't enough vac to suck the boost valve shut
Hence absolute stinky fumey journey home bogging and generally crap compared to this morning ...
Find out tomo if made any difference just shutting throttle back down to acceptable idle !?
