I`ve just bought myself a Mk6 Transit van which has been converted into a camper, it is a MWB, it has a generous size shower/toilet pod, small space for a double bed, a night heater which I can`t seem to figure out, so KZread help me out. cooker, sink and a captains seat. I will be replacing the centre propshaft bearing and sorting out a very strange temperature gauge activity, the gauge shot from normal to the red in a split second then the engine goes into limp mode then after a few seconds the gauge returns to normal and the engine revs up and away I go, i`ve been told it may be a naf thermostat, sensor or waterpump problem, I don`t know where the sensor is for a start so i`ve ordered a Haynes manual which will arrive next week. If anyone reading this knows of my dilemna please feel free to advise me.

Great job are the door seals okay as I have just ordered some for my transit as the driver’s side is perished but doing both sides anyway take care keep up the good work. You are better off buying new door seals than second hand ones

Hi. Question none related to your vid. Is it OK to flush the radiator without heater blower working!? Reguards.

How easy is it to spot weld? I want to start cutting the rust out rather than using body filler. Did you do a course on how to weld, or just give it a go?

@TurnersWorkshop97

2 жыл бұрын

I have been on a course for welding a few years ago but it’s definitely something you can learn by trial end error with a mig welder. Will save you a fortune in repairs doing it yourself in the long run. Just make sure you invest in a decent mask that auto dims 👍🏼

I have a wolf 140x gas/gasless mig welder. It’s my first welder and great little welder for beginners in my opinion. I’ve only used it as a gasless welder since I’ve had it, using fluxcored mig wire and it takes some getting used to but does the job 👍🏼

I currently have a wolf mig 140 which is a great starter welder but if it’s something you think you will get into, it might be worth looking at something abit more substantial. I’m currently looking at the Rtech mig180 as an upgrade, more expensive but highly rated 👍🏼

I use gas less at the moment but will be switching to gas this year as its neater and easier to get on with 👍🏼 flux cored does the job but it’s not as clean and takes time to get the welder set up right. Flux cored is great if it’s just a little patch here and there
