The grill is correct Check the bulkhead where the clutch cable goes through and make sure its solid . A very commom rot spot on these i had one and the clutch was slipping fitted a new one and it was still slipping all due to a repair on the bulkhead where the cable went through being welded on in the wrong position .

I'm really interested in this for the rear of my commer I want to come down about 3" and I've been told to remove my full load springs but to be honest its to soft now so any way I can de camber them and keep the strength would be wicked . I'm an engineer by trade so have a press at work I could use

That van looks very familiar is it from leyland in preston You could also conider fitting a early lower front pannel while its being replaced and then you could fit the rounded bumpers

Think I'll give everything a good clean up and put it back together with a new gasket and compression tests it again and go from there .

Well the heads off there was no standing water in the cylinders but it was abvious it had been their especially on one cylinder as the head was all crusty and so Was the inside of the head after the valves to the exhaust manifold No obvious damage to the cylinder head or valves Same with the head gasket Bores look ok one cylinder seems to have some pitting but feels smooth Soo what do I do now

Not much to say but after going on here regulary I really want my van done . So I've polished the cab and the back of the van ( we live under a tree not good and garages for coach built vans are to expensive for me ) It's looking fab again but its slow work the van is made of slats like in a conservatory roof ) When I last used it last year it was pressuring the coolent system and blowing the hoses off and it did this and got very hot but drove ok when cooled down and re filled with coolant but I've tried starting it since I've parked it up and it won't start it will fire but that's it and it kills batteries like it's tight turning over and the starter's just been reconned cos I thought that was the case . So tomorrow I'm gonna bite the bullet compression test each cylinder then take the head off n see what's going on but I'm super nervous ??
