Eberspacher repairs and misc bits n' bobs (a few pics)

[Guy88]

Well I've booked a week off work, brought a gazebo thing to erect over the transit to keep the rain off..... and im going to have a go at any rust spots. As my van is a late MK5, rust hasnt got to it that badly YET.... I just want my baby in one piece in 10 years time!

Got some filler, wire bursh, sandpaper, rust eating fluid and diamons white spray and basecoat and I'm gonna tart the van up a bit. Im also thinking about using waxoil underneath too. Whats the best way to use it? Would the van need to be jetwashed underneath first, left to dry then waxoiling, or just slap it on, regardless? Any tips welcome!

Are you coming to Gaydon

Part of me says I want to go, part of me says stay at home and do more to the van if the weather is good. Not sure yet what Im doing!

I know this is a bit of a thread resurrection but I've recently bought a W reg ex British Telecom Smiley face Transit 120 SWB to replace my beat to crap Semi High minibus.
The new (er) Transit has the same Eberspacher water heater built into it, it works and I'm just wondering what diameter copper pipe you used to replace the steel. Mines OK at the moment but I'd rather have some ready to go right on when the time comes to replace it.
Also whilst I've been on the trawl through the internet I found a tutorial about taking the burner apart which people might find helpful.

One thing about it though, does anyone know how much difference the silencers (intake and exhaust) make to these things cos at the moment its like a Lightning jet fighter warming up, not much cop for warming my van up at daft O clock in the morning if I don't use it cos its too noisy.
