  1. For your brake line clamps etc I think I have a box of these floating around if they are of any use - I made a heap of them on the CNC.

    If those dont work might be able to make you some custom ones if needed - might just take a couple of weeks to slot into the schedule as all my routers are running double shifts at the moment trying to keep up.

  2. I have a VF2 Sportwagon as a daily.  Mine is the BlackEdition so has LED lights and other crap, but in general its comfortable, roomy, extremely reliable, is cheap/easy to maintain, and goes pretty decently.  

    I got mine with 30k on the clock and Im coming up to 120k and it hasn't missed a beat.

    It is a bit boring and less appointed compared to european cars of the same age, but definitely has more than enough bells and whistles for me. 

    As above, the bluetooth connection to Mylink is slow to connect on start up. If you are listening to spotify etc it is a bit gittery for the first 30secs or so, Im guessing its updated contacts/messages etc so bluetooth throughput takes a hiding for a bit, after that its fine.

    Would recommend.

     

    I have driven one of the last ZB shape ones, yeah nah not for me.

  3. Cool, well 600 should be pretty sweet, might just need to dial that screw back a bit if it is getting hot.

    I havent had a 1hdt but from my understanding the fuel screw is on the back of the pump - there's a metric shit ton of videos on them on youtube which will help.

    I was a bit the same about putting an intercooler on mine with space in the front not all that plentiful, but I got one on in the end and it was a game changer to drive.

  4. With the EGT's and depending on how the fuel pin has been profiled you may need to either wind the delivery screw back a little bit or wind the boost up so the mixture leans out a bit to cool things down.

    It looked like 600 degrees or so in your photo but what sort of temps is it getting up to at peak load and where is the sensor ie post or pre turbo?  

    I used to have my TD42s at 600-650 degrees pre-turbo and it seemed pretty happy.

    Such a weapon of a van, keep up the awesome work!

    We are wanting to buy a Liteweight Tracker Caravan can you help with this ?

     

    Sadly I don't know of any for sale - not unless you want to offer me lots and lots of money for our one - we love it.

    You could call Dave @ Motorhome and Caravan World in Hamilton, he's got a few caravans in his yard but don't think he has any Trackers specifically.

    WIll update this thread soon, we have the caravan back so will be sorting a few things before using it again this summer.
