According to Haynes (you do have a copy, don't you?):

http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stor ... ctId=12941

Front: 43 (3.0)
Rear: 50 (3.4)

That would be a starting point and depend on the body and weight carried. Can you ask the conversion company (if it still exists) for its recommended values?

The van in front is a Transit. It might be my Mk7 - follow the trail of rusty water: Diary of an Ordinary Van

Thanks for that, I will pop onto ebay and get a workshop manual.
