Hey Reg, you sure that was acrylic resin?
an ex'butchers (refrigerated) van.
Surely it would have been well insulated?
I was thinking meth lab.
Very odd conversion!
How was the water heated powered?
Nice try but no go, "too many requests". Thanks anyway.
It's working ok for me.
Long shot but try clearing browser cache?
Looks good.
Heater problems are among the most common issues with these vans.
You will find many threads via the search button. More often though these relate to the fan not working which doesn't appear to be your problem. but some on AC may give you some pointers. We also have some members who are quite familiar with AC who will hopefully pick this up.
The lack of good manuals doesn't help.
I am sure someone must know. DragonJohn has messed with heating/AC a lot.
Hopefully someone might be along soon.
You could try a trawl through the search. I see there are a few threads on heater matrix.
Ah sorry, I missed the word "not" blown.
These modern electronics are beyond me. We are rapidly moving to a point where vehicles are increasingly non user serviceable. Try PC World?
I don't suppose splicing in a new feed nearer the source would be possible?

Sorry, my bad posting it last minute...
I don't think I should have bought it, but it would have been difficult to resist.
I just can't do the work anymore and once you start having to pay, it's just not practical.

Think I need one of those.
Yes I had this a while back.
After a blast down a long straight I turned left into a car park and noticed the car behind approached quite quickly and close. It was indicating to turn the same as me though so thought no more of it. Until a very irate woman approached me as we parked up accusing me of almost killing her family. I apologised for the fact that both my brake lights had failed and explained that in no way justified her to plough into my rear, and that there was no danger as she needed to slow enough to make the turn anyway.
Anyway I had one spare so fitted that until I got home. Didn't find any faults so fitted two new and it hasn't happened again in a couple o years since.
It is odd though as I had assumed that both circuits would be independent of each other. So could surely only indicate a large voltage surge through the whole system. Only blowing the brake lights because they were he only ones lit at the time.
Dam... I would likely have bought that!
Did they check the brakes, especially on the wheel that went in the hole?
Can't help but lovely and clean!

Would that be the same as OAT's reversing sensors? A big metal one across the entire rear of the van. Makes a noise when it touches something, at which point you back off?
It's fool proof I tell you.
I only do it with trees, rocks, etc. Once away from roads, dark is very dark.
Perhaps digging in what causes it may suggest better cure to the problem?
Yup... if water is getting in there it needs stopping. Have you checked under the carpet?
Unfortunately i have the same issue as Ken. The top plate of the swivel is quite small. To add our riggers to take the seat bolts would raise the seat height and my head can already brush the overhead shelf.
I could perhaps use the drivers one but it would be a shame to split the pair if anyone wanted them.. I will leave it a day or two.
I need to have a think about fitting to my swivel anyway.
Does it fold down flat?
Try a hot air gun?
Or Ken's solution.
You did tc, nice one.
I would defiantly list as a basic camper. Hopefully the "vanlife" craze is starting to abate but I still think there is a premium for cheap campers. Unless you think it worthwhile to sell on any camper bits first.
Anyone wanting it for a bit of work could soon clear it out.

Does it have to be a van?
If mine blew up tomorrow, I would need something instant and importantly, that I could reasonably sleep in. I think appropriate small van's would be out of the question but there are so many more large estates and people carriers. I haven't checked any out but have my fingers crossed that I could find something with a few years left in it for half what I might need for a van. Otherwise it will be a buss pass for me.
Mine has done this perhaps a dozen times in 5-6 years that I have noticed. Usually when I check back a minute or so later it's going again. Hard to say with it being so random and rare but I suspect it comes back after hitting a bump or two. Never investigated as it's gone when I stop but always thought it to be mechanical rather than electrical.
Not sure how mine works, but I suspect simpler than later ones with ecu's.
I wouldn't rule out a *slight* mismatch on timing to cause that. Injecting fuel too early/late?
When it's cold, and you rev does it smooth out or still misfire? When I ran my DW8 on veg oil after the fuel pump was replaced (and resultant timing belt adjustment) it would white smoke and misfire until it warmed up. Unless I revved it, which smoothed things out.
You could try experimenting with rotating the fuel pump a nudge backwards/forwards. Three bolts on the pump cradle and then rotate. It won't cause any pistons-hitting-the-valves if you do that, worst case it just fudges the injection timing at which point you rotate the other way until it smooths out.
I think this is worth checking out. You say "I think that if this would be the case (timing) the engine would also run bad when warm." Obviously if it's out, even only a little, it is out at all speeds. But I think the impact of the miss timing would get less as revs increase.

Good luck finding a 1.9TD these days
