... Any ideas where the serial numbers are on these? The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

I jumped the gun - the alternator is goosed, my nice new wiring was in vain - started the engine off a spare battery and found the alternator is kicking out a massive 0.4 volts. I have taken it off (which was not fun as it straddles the coolant suction (lower) hose. now to find a replacement...

just need tax now - and then build up confidence with a few longer runs The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

i think i have found the fault on the alternator - the neutral was open circuit, stripped back all the tape to find a broken attempt to solder two lengths of wire together. I have now completely rewired the alternator. It did go to the starter motor where it piggy backed the leads from the...

The Dog has an MOT..... did have an advisory though - slight play nearside & offside front (king pin) front suspension so for an extra £5 he greased all my grease nipples using one of those pneumatic greasers I did have a moment on the way there - the engine got hot and squirted about 1/2 pint...

I have another mod planned. At the rear engine bulkhead in the corner where the perkins gets hottest (in this corner there is dead air where the exhaust manifold sits with not great air flow) I am going to cut a 1" hole through which I am going to connect a 90 pipe bend. looking in the back of...

... and another thing. If I do bite the bullet and go for a petrol engine some time in the future - what sort of lump will fit in place of the perky that can power this wheeled shed. I was looking at the log book and for some reason it says it has a 2.2 litre diesel, but the perkins is 1.8 Did...

I was also looking at the thermostart device - apparantly - according to lucas/cav it is supposed to have a fuel line attached (it hasnt on the dog) so that when you operate it a dribble of diesel drips onto the hot coil and causes a hot belch of nastiness to get the engine started. I will have...

it cant be louder than with the exhaust off - I will keep the old box in case of plod The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

following the trials without the exhaust - I have ordered a straight through back box - every little bit of efficiency gain will help. I have gone oldskool and gone to the tried and trusted Cherry bomb. 18" x 1.5" inlet x 3.5" outlet bore...

there is also this: http://tinytach.com/diesel.php which fits to one of the fuel injection lines and senses the pulse each time the injector "squirts" = 1 rpm The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

not sure if I previously mentioned this, but I spoke to Perkins last week, and went through all my overheating woes. They scratched their heads and asked if my exhaust was up to the task - possibly wasnt getting rid of the exhaust gasses quick enough. They suggested taking the exhaust off and...

its only 6 miles - I managed 10 the other day - but it is uphill most of the way. The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

booked in for MOT 09:30 friday The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

yes as when you over fill the rad it blows all over the engine. I have also cobbled together a bit of aluminium flexi ducting so i could mover the air filter more forward - and it now faces into the airflow rather than sticking straight out of the side of the engine. The Dog is home...

i think you would be looking at £1.50 - £2.50 per mile minimum - unless it was a runner and you could get someone to drive it up The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

its a commer - brakes are for show! The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

that last comment sounds like I snapped a bit - it wasnt meant to come out like that - sorry Panky anyway, I put some of that leak weld stuff in - not your common a garden rad weld but stuff thats supposed to fix anything from head gaskets to cracked heads. I ran the Dog on idle for a couple...

the fan is fine, the air flow is fine, the fan isnt the issue The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business
