#1 General Discussion » MK 1 crew seats or double front swap » 2022-09-22 13:31:32

Hello all. Not sure if this is the best place to post so please adjust accordingly.
I am on the look out for a rear crew or bench seat for Mk1. I have pics for what is required but can't figure out how to attach on here. (Any pointers and I will post.)
Secondly I am pondering alternatives. I have a swivel captain passenger but due to needing more seating (removable rear crew bench seat prefered, as have fixing points already there behind cab ones, not at rear of vehicle.) But my 2nd question is as follows...Does anyone on here have a double seat with drop down compartment. Like in the middle seat from Relay/Boxer etc. And/or know whether these fit the four floor bolt points for a straight switch. They certainly seem so? And are much more readily available. ?
Would happily post pics of all said items if I could only figure it out ?
Thanks Rob

The turbo 1.9 finished in 1999 when the 2.0 Hdi came out. The DW8 is the old school engine , it will run veg oil all day long if it has a Bosch pump. The Lucas /Delphi pump is weak and will fail. 99% of DW8's have a Lucas pump. So you need to fit a bosch pump off an older XUD engine. These are getting harder to come buy and its a not a perfectly simple swap, you need to change the pipes as well , and bend them to fit the differently placed injectors.
The 2.0 Hdi, is a completely different kettle of fish . It is a direct injection engine , not a Ricardo design. The fuel injection system is a high pressure common rail system and will not tolerate anything like a neat veg oil mix. You cant , ' fit a bosch pump' it's not the same engine design. There are people on the veg oil diesel forum who are having some success running veg/ derv/rug mixes like (90%svo+10%rug) 60% and 40% derv.
I've been running XUD's on wvo for the past 12 years, so have some idea of what works and what won't.
I knew someone who used to filter his own wvo and said it was quite easy, with the right filter/set up, though can't remember what grade of fineness mesh, but might give it a try. Messy? Any pointers Steve the grease or is it one of those best kept secrets

I'm trying to find the fuel pump on this vehicle, any takers?

"You see that "mushroom" on the top? That means it's for the 1.9TD - the turbocharged version so can't be used on the DW8."
Is DW8 non turbo and DW8B the turbo version then?
#5 Re: General Discussion » Not starting easy » 2020-02-18 19:58:23
yes he said wires look fine and overall a clean bay and engine and van condition, ive been shopping round local suppliers and gor from £50 to £80 from one dealer but needs the number off the starter and another said £95.00 plus vat Boasch and dont need the number off the starter, having as nosey tonight to see if i can make a start with removing the bolts Storm weather permitting, then just pick up replacement weekend and Bert i hope be back on the road.
Thepoolman, I have fitted a brand new one and promptly removed it again after van died an untimely death. It only had about a months use. Very easy job to do, few bolts etc. Can send it you for £60+delivery cost. If interested let me have your postcode and I'll get on it.
#6 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-18 19:32:01
Yep - that looks like my HDI
Ah ok, so it is a bosch but the issue is the common rail version. thoughts Firemoth?
So many options under the hood aren't there.
#7 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-18 19:04:57
This is what it looks like under the hood. does'nt seem like any of the pics offered up on here.
#8 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-18 18:10:15
Got the option of 2003 2.0 JTD. Does anyone know if I can put a bosch pump in this at some point?

Wow great resources and pics vaz2121/Kenbw2. Very useful. Thanks All
"The first thing I'm not clear on is which engine you have - you say you have a 2006 1.9TD? But as far as I know the bulletproof XUD9 engines stopped in 1999/2000. This engine came in 1.9D and 1.9TD variants.
So pre-1999/2000:
- 1.9D N/A 1905cc XUD9 - bulletproof
- 1.9TD Turbo 1905cc XUD9 - bulletproof
Post-1999/2000
- 1.9D N/A 1868cc DW8 - ridiculously simple and bulletproof
- This became the DW8B after ~2002 with some additional computer timing adjustment
- 2.0 HDi 1997cc turbocharged
- 1.6 HDi 1,560 cc turbocharged (with unreliable turbos I gather)
The DW8 will run on veg with the Bosch pump. The HDIs not so much although Firemoth has done it."
Great pics and very useful to know this crossover point Kenbw2. My current vehicle is a Tourneo Connect. But as I write this it has been in garage for the last 6wks after going in for a routine MOT renewal, and I now feel my mech is mugging me off as he has since told me after having undertaken £375 worth of advisories that the sills are f***ed and will be 2k to remedy. And still no MOT. So am in a bit of a bind, not sure where to go next with that tbh!
I would defo like to find a 1.9 SVO friendly Scudo/Expert/Dispatch as I have owned two 1.9d prior. (Lucas pump) confirmed by your pics, and found them to suit my needs perfectly. The previous 1.9td I had my eye on turned out to be 2.0HDI, I presume these have Lucas pumps?
In truth I am looking for something like yours Kenwb2 (bosch pump) preferably with tow bar, though I have fitted one before best to have one fitted already imho. Learnt alot whilst working on this kind of van myself whilst owning one. And thats part of the appeal tbh. Although I made the mistake of not administering secondry nipping up of sump plug after oil change, which eventually led to the ultimate demise of my 1st (Expert), the van not me
Also anyone know if the starter motors from xud9/dw8/b are compatible as I still have a brand new one removed from my first van.

I believe there is apparently such a limit but can't see how they could ever police it.
EDIT
On trying to look this up I find as much miss-information as fact. Par for the course on the net!
This seems to be the root of the issue though :-
2.3 Fuel that can be legally used in petrol or diesel engine road vehicles
Apart from the circumstances described in this paragraph you must always use duty paid fuel. This would normally be petrol or diesel sold as road fuel from a fuel retailers.Certain biodiesel and fuel substitute producers and users, who meet the definition of ‘exempt producers’, can use limited amounts of fuel upon which duty has not been paid. For more details see section 4 of Notice 179E Biofuels and other fuel substitutes.
Biofuels and fuel substitutes are alternative fuels, they include:
biodiesel
bioethanol
refuse-derived fuel
non-fossil methane
vegetable oil
propane
other biomass sourcesAfter a speed read I see there are many exceptions and reductions in duty for various circumstances but can't see anything on exemption for a specified quantity.
Anyone got a reliable reference to info on limited use of veg oil?
Hi Oat, Yeh not sure where I read this.... "I believe there is apparently such a limit but can't see how they could ever police it." maybe on here. Thanks for the link, trying to deconstruct, make sense of Gov info. Could be a while, lol.
"You could be the pioneer although it may be that due to modern sensors and monitoring it might well require extra consideration."
Are you aware of what year said sensors start from, not averse to getting an older model. I would like to be safer than sorry. Just discovered that vehicle in question was a 2.0 hd not 1.9td doh! Is there anywhere else other than ebay/gumtree/FB Marketplace worth trying to pick a 1.9td up?
Also thanks for the welcome
#11 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-17 19:40:03
I think Kenbw2 is the only 1.9td user I can think of .. no doubt he'll be along shortly!
Moving this into the 1996 - 2006 Vans forum as I think it belongs there .. and Ken more likely to see it there I guess!
Oops thanks for steering me in the right direction Tiree, and for the welcome.

First timer here. Hello all,
How as it taken me so long to find my way here. Looking through it tonight, it seems so full of interesting stuff. Learned a lot already.
Having already owned two mk1s now, both 1.9d, Got the bug!! I would like to ask some advise about a potential purchase of a possible 3rd. with a view to run SVO. Its a 2006 1.9td 200,000 miles, 12 mnths MOT, with no discernable issues. (£995)
I would like to ask if anyone could shed some light on the turbo element, (Is turbo version still bullet proof?) as oppose to 2.0HDI etc, and how does this relate to running SVO? subject to Lucas Vs Bosch fuel pump issue-Bosch. Being a turbo version is it likely to have a bosch already and how does one tell the difference?
I am not 'so' new to these, I know these 1.9s are bullet proof etc, but could use the extra oomph with td version. My last one was a Cit. with 280,000 miles on, I fitted swivel seats, bed etc had loads of fun, and is still going today. Though due to inheriting a Tourneo Connect, I sold Dispatch. Sadly the Connect just failed MOT on both sills 'after' £400 worth advisories work done, test station won't pass now, and mechanic says he apparently got VOSA involved, and have been unable to reach him for the last cpl o wks, been 6wks now in total grrr... (I digress)
Does anyone have any experience of the success of this conversion/applicability/best way to go about conversion to SVO. How much is it likely to source/switch pump. Anyone know of anyone near me who does them often etc. And what might be involved/cost etc. Hopefully it already has a Bosch one fitted. As far as I am aware you're allowed to run a 2500ltrs SVO before tax?
Any help, pointers, advice welcome.
Thanks, Rob
