Winter Runaround :)

Nice diff ratio (if it's still the original one )
You might have trouble programming those keys

Got that one covered - will be fitting a formula one type ignotion cut off circuit and flip button start

might as well make it a bit of fun while i am at it

So long as you know that said keys/lockset should have been described as suitable for Transit '92 model (That is MK4 to you, me and the rest of the forum) or at least clearly specify that the are or aren't with chipped keys

Was tempted to do something with these two.... but thought it was too obvious

I missed that one......

i think thats the one i will use - well spotted

[gravelrash2004]

Wooohooooo

Just located a headliner and rear carpet from a tourneo. now to install that and start the noise deadening at anything past 40mph.

oh and is is normal for my speedo to tell me i am doing 80 when in reality its 65. only ask cos the more i get past 20mph the more wildly innacurate it gets. is this normal or do i have to replace my speedo

cheers

love it

[gravelrash2004]

was that from telford by any chance mate
sure ive seen it about

Was driving through parts of telford myself this weekend (not that thats unusual ) but i too saw the twin of my van. only differences being the reg was a couple of years older and the black was to the first set of swage - if i spelt it correctly - lines and mine is to the second.

i should have parked them side by side and got a shot

[gravelrash2004]

Found out what the problem with the speedo inaccuracy is.

the van is configured to set the speedo pulse count from the gearbox sender for a 4.11 ratio Diff.

Mine is a 4.?+ so the prop will spin past where the pulse count is set to indicate the accurate speed and show a calculated speed from the prop rebolutions.

got to find some way of solving that. i got a pm from another forum user and will be crawling around under the van at the speedo drive end to see whats what

[gravelrash2004]

whilst crawling around under the van i spotted that the flexible joint for the exhaust was on its last legs - ah well - cant expect much for 600

so a spanner session later and another one in its place. still gotta check the speedo drive gear

to be continued....

[gravelrash2004]

A little progress roundup

DIFF replaced
Two new tyres on front and wayward tracking sorted
Two seats rebuilt/retrimmed
twin seat changed to single seat
new flexi exhaust pipe section
"loaded" the load bay roof with sound damping material.

This weekend will see the wood floor going in, the sides and roof insulating.

Still got to change the locks all round and service the engine + chane the belts

busy busy

[gravelrash2004]

Got the roof insulated and boarded out. Insulated and reboarded the drivers side. insulated and boarded the floor. Srill got to insulate the rear doors. rear loading bay side and door. then its on to sound dampening the cab......

these things tend to take longer than anticipated

oh and for good measure i drilled through the wire that feeds the loading bay light. only found that out after i had riveted the roof on. aaarrrrgghhh. Oh well just another thing to be creative with

Keep going

[gravelrash2004]

Been offered another van a Mk6 to be exact, so i have put this van up for sale. I will continue to work on it until someone puts spending money in my hand

starting to really like this van too, it the quietest Di i have been in... it should be lol the amount of sound dampening and insulation material thats in it

[gravelrash2004]

Went out last night and bought the carpet to line the back. its a fetching shade of black

also bought some more insulation to complete the job

should be in by next weekend. WIll be fitting the locks this weekend
