I think many transit owners make it easier to adjust the timing of the injection.


I love a good home bodge.... Please tell us all about that tap :shock:

New water pump, cambelt & tensioner, alternator belt, power steering belt fitted and coolant replaced.

Let the garage take the strain (abery motor centre, hitchin) - 3 hours labour charge. Very pleased.

I wanted to show that cutting off the upper part of the cam belt protection, you can easily adjust the timing of fuel injection. :lol:
On the fuel return line from the injection pump I installed a small fuel heater.
In winter, the coolant is taken from the connection in the thermostat housing and through a three-way valve is fed into the heater and further into the expansion tank of the cooling system.
In summer, the tap directs the coolant directly to the expansion tank.
When the winter frost is more -10 gr C, it helps.

Welded on another new bit of windscreen channel, just before it started snowing (again).

Filled up the fresh water tank. Yes, that's dull, but we are in Pompeii at the moment.
