Hi there Chris,
thanks for the tip about Delfin Designs. They are really too far away from me to use for hands on stuff but great for sourcing new or used parts.
As to your battery drain - I have a cousin foolish enough to love the Talbot Motor home in all of it guises (like the rest of us) and he found that the heater plugs have been responsible for seriously depleting the battery - he has to disconnect them at night! Could be your problem.

Regards Susie

Probably going to need a new petrol tank, (after only 1000 miles new fuel filter is filthy) though will see if it cleans up first but suspect rust is the problem. Has anyone bought one - any idea of cost? thanks Simon

Hiya ,
Not easy to get hold of tanks , get a old speaker , remove the magnet & stick it to bottom of tank , even rust will be drawn into it , look close at the inside of filler tube before you do anything else.
If you really want to go a long way with it , drop tank wash it out with pertol & put magnet in the bottom.

Regards
Rich

Colin ,
change your rad ! , being ally they tend to block, thats if you have changed everything else out !. Here is the list of checks for you .
1 , remove rad , & back flush it with hot water , then flush it normal flow way .
2 , remove the heater pipes from van , flush them through, as they drop lower in cab from under bonnet the tend to fill with silt , refit them to heater first going out of drivers door , & flush the heater unit.
3, remove block drain bolt, located on back of engine below pipe from water pump & closer to the gearbox side of block. then from the heater out pipe at end of block flush with hot water.

If you still get problem with over heating check the compression , you may have a leak on head causing presure on water system , with water system empty the pressure drop will show on compression test.

good luck

Rich

to R+M Motorhomes,
Thanks for your reply to my query, I managed to obtain a gasket set and by cutting the one piece exhaust gasket into four was able to fit it But alas one of the studs is very loose and will need the thread recut. so i don't expect the repair will last, if you could help me with a gasket, thankyou
Mike

Hi,We have new tanks in stock for £200. We also have good used tanks for £75. I think that if you have to go to the lengths of putting a speaker magnet (what real help that would be I have no idea) in your tank then it needs changing. Now if it had been suggested that you put a strong magnet on the bottom of your oil filter then I could understand it. There are kits available that do just that and very effective they are too.
