There is a member on here that has put a van wanted thread up recently, might be worth checking his credentials to see if he qualifies for either of your vans. N

Bought some antifreeze, it says o.a.t on the can and says it is suitor for Ford 13212321a b c d and the guy said it was ok for the custom :o

Also bought a Vauxhall 1.7 fan belt for it as the original fouled up and i had to cut it off, it's for the powerall alternator, I'm hoping that with the engine running it'll power the interior leds and 240 sockets, i just hope there wasn't other batteries required and they've taken them out? Bloody hilti

Ah sweet that'll do nicely with the ac pipes cheers, other stuff can't be seen so I'm not too worried, can't really go anywhere else tbh anyway but I'll zip tie it and scotch block it where needed so it doesn't wobble :mrgreen:

Not sure, there's no numbers visible :-(
On the control panel i can turn it low high which revs the engine a bit higher, there's no weld switch tho so at a guess 2-4kva max.?
