Cheers Matt. I'm just struggling with pairing the abs to the van. Have ordered number 3 abs pump which arrived today :lol:
You should keep the pcm/bcm/abs/longitudinal and sad sensors and keys for playing with. :D


ABS module with the pipes in? What are the SAD sensors? The keys are already programmed in to other vans :D

Sorry new phone spell correct. Sas sensor steering angle sensor.

Van is all in one piece and I've fitted headlight beam stickers on them. My usual tester is on holiday so I booked local Ats black Friday discount class 7 £46 something.

Only issue is that the staff there are a bit arrogant and have a God complex. But I'll happily waste their time with a vt17 form.

But I'm sure they're lovely. :P

There's a bit of thrust bearing noise going on plus engine oil leak that might be from the bell housing, I have a main engine oil seal already, was going to buy a csc but ended up getting a full 4 piece luk clutch kit including bolts from ebay. Minus £75 with a voucher.
I spoke to someone and they said its eBay that do the vouchers not the sellers, fook knows how that works?

Bonkers, i reckon that's a similar price I paid for the clutch kit I fitted to snowflake back in 2012 :shock:

I'll be glad when the van is done and the pair is done, seems like I'm always throwing money at them

The yellow masking tape reminds me of the data post vans from the ‘80’s,

I wondered if it had all been re lacquered or just cut n polished, anyway shiny
