the amount of rust on the front axle of these vehicles is quite impressive, given the condition of the rest of the vehicle.
To be fair, I've done the rest of the vehicle, I couldn't do much to the subframe in situ, so this gave an opportunity to give it a good overall. 👌👍.
Hi, what about timing of fuel pump? Does that have some pin? Thanx
No, electronic timing fuel-wise, the high-pressure pump doesn't need timing. The pump is constantly pumping diesel with a regulator solenoid, maintaining the pressure upon the fuel rail. As long the cam and crank are timed correctly, the ECU deals with the fuel timing via injector drivers within the ECU 👌👍...
romanian flag?
No, the British Army "REMI tag", bud .
Thanks for posting ths video. You posted it 5 years ago and it's still helping people out. Fantastic.
No worries, Anthony. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂👌👍.
You're the champion, such big huge energy you have to do all that work alone! Congratulations
Thank you, matey 😀 👌 👍...
Very helpful thank you so much
No worries, mate 🙂👌👍...
What a cracking job Mark. You’re rock hard working in all weathers. Such detail on a small budget is very commendable 👏👌 That’ll last a lifetime. Well done💪
Thank you, 😊 👌👍.
thanks for that . I just wondered why you need to turn on the ignition ?
It doesn't really matter in all honesty when not using the easy scan tool. But when using the easy scan tool and bleeding the ABS brake system, it takes you through the brake bleed process, operating the valves within the ABS valve block in order to bleed the brakes. I should have explained that better within the video. 👌👍...
@@Iveavan ok . thanks for getting back to me
You make it look very straight forward but this has given me the insight to have a go myself now, thanks Mark
Cool! Just make sure you give all nuts and bolts a good soak with WD40 first like I did beforehand, I failed to mention that in the video. 😉👌👍...
Excellent vid and instruction fella.. Its mad that you did this video 5 years ago and as far as I can tell, there isn't any others as informative than yours. I have just purchased some Disco 5 leather seats.. They are lovely but... I am going to have to start delving into the wirings shortly. I am hoping that it is similar to the seats you have. I know they ( well certainly the drivers seat) has the memory console. So that's a starting point. lol Keep up the great work fella.
Cheers, Paul 😉👌👍. I be honest, I couldn't tell you if they are the same or not, but I'd imagine they would be, bud👍...
Morning. I am looking at a 53plate 2.3 TD 35S12 with 87,000 on it. As an experienced Iveco owner could you give me some advice on potential bomb shells to look out for?
Hi Chris At 87k, mechanical wise, it should be spot on if it has a service history, my only concern " mechanical wise " with a low mileage would suggest that it has been stood for some time between use, so take it for a good test run and check each wheel rim for heat build up from the brakes, the calipers tend to seize up if not used frequently. Your biggest concern will be corrosion ( especially if it's been stored outside over its life time ) . Common areas for corrosion. Rear wheel arch's, out riggers next to the wheel arch's, under neath the windscreen washer bottle and battery tray, rear valance ( underside and topside), the bodies front chassis rail ( behind the front wheel arch plastic covers fixed onto the bumper ) . I think these will be the primary issues, with a van of that age with low mileage. 🙂👌👍.
Oh! And timing belt! See if that's been done, even though it's low milage and should of had one at around 80k mk, but it should be done every 5 years regardless of the low mileage 👌👍.
From facebook love the van and your content is clean and professional
Thank you, matey 😀👌👍...
Hello, i observe you dont left a lot of space between the panel, do the bifacial work well in this situation?
No, you're right. But never posed an issue regarding " overheating "over the 5 years it's been like that. However, it's now been changed to a 4 way tilting solar panel (the same solar panel) 👌👍👉kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWepqNFtfs3ee8Y.htmlsi=TPF8qF7FKdppa-rz
Amazing job. I am planning to do something similar at some point . But been confused by friend that I cannot come that close to the fence between me and neighbours… Can you clarify this please so I get better understanding. Many thanks in advance
Your best to look on your local authority's website regarding planning rules for guidance. For me, from memory, the footprint of the workshop is below 15 square meters, and the height is below 2.5mt. Therefore, I was ok to do this according to my local authority. However! There is around a metre gap between the boundary lines, between myself and the neighbours fence. The overgrown hedge had pushed their fence forwards. They have now cut down the hedge and redone their fence. 👌👍
Just seen your videos.Subscribed.Will be mortgage free in August.Cutting down my hours at work and when I do fancy doing a van build.Good luck with it all.Will keep watching.
Thank you, David. All the best for August 🙂👌👍.
Very helpfull
Thank you & no worries, Martin 🙂👌👍.
Hi, great video, having the exact same problem with my iveco 2011 van conversion, loads of white smoke in the morning like a steam train so much white smoke, funny thing this clears when driving after a few miles, i have seen a puddle of oil near the inlet pipe on the turbo, about to strip the turbo in the next few days.
Cheers, Andrew. They do smoke on the first initial start-up in the morning, I noticed that on mine & I have new injectors and a brand new genuine Iveco turbo. Also, I've noticed oil residue within the pressure side of the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler, not a lot but probable cause "first thing smoking" in the morning.👌👍.
I've been looking how to do that, thanks I'm happy to do my own now.
No worries, matey 👌👍.
@@Iveavan did you have an abs ring/sensor on yours?
The ABS Reluctor Rings are only casted on the rear discs. On the front, those rings are on the hub and not on the discs 👌👍...
hello, I changed the caliper and now I have no brakes, the pedal is soft all the way to the bottom
Which caliper did you change? Front or rear? Did you clamp off the flexi hose before changing the caliper so the brake system didn't blead dry? Does it have ABS or a load-sensing valve? I presume you exhausted all of the air out of the system?
@@Iveavan the right rear caliper and I didn't tighten that hose the fluid ran down the floor
@@Iveavan please help me!! 😢
@@Iveavan has abs
@NegrutOctavian unfortunately, because the system has been bled dry, it's going to be a bit more of a pain to bleed. But if you follow the process that I've shown within the video ( preferably with a brake bleed pressure kit ) until you see all of the air has been exhausted and you've adjusted the rear brake caliper to close up the air gap on the brake pads and the hand brake adjusted, once bled, carry out that short run up on loose gravel and apply brakes until you feel the ABS pump kick in and you should feel the difference in the brake pedal. If it's got new brake pads, it may feel like it has a longer brake pedal travel until they have been bedded in 👌👍.
Great van 👌💪. Doing something similar. Where did you get the bonnet protector from? Thanks 👍
Cheers, matey 👍. Off eBay, they don't often pop up but keep an eye out on there. I did have to wait for one to pop up. Mind you, it was an 18-month wait for me 👌👍.
Top man. Cheers 🍻
Hey Mark, what did you use as the rear hanger for the hoist?
Mine had one fitted, like the one on the front, bud.👌👍
The service book lists a custom lift bracket for the engine. Because its such a PITA to load into the engine bay.
Which is better? LANOGUARD or WAXOIL ?
I've never tried Lanoguard, bud. I've always used Waxoyl over the past 30 years, so I can't honestly compare the two ( all I know is Lanoguard is much more expensive ) 👌👍.
HEALTH AND SAFETY, Always utilise mechanical aids when moving or lifting heavy objects. They can be fixed or replaced, your back can't!
😂 wear a beanie and a welders cap as head protection when under a vehicle. Padding helps when headbutting metalwork.😂😂😂😂
I feel like this video should be called. "What Iveco garages, don't want you to see"
Haha 😅🙂👌👍.
Very useful, just wanted to check I had the right idea before doing some work. Thank you!
No worries and good luck! Cheers Mark.
Muy bien 👌
Thank you, Carlos 😎 👊 👌 👍...
Thanks for the cideo! I got my CC3 360 for my camper after seeing this video a year ago. I stuck the side cameras at 2m hight, same as the rear cam. The front cam is inside the car at the rearview mirror. Does anyone have experience with the setup? I had to cut the calibration sheets in half because they were too narrow for the car. But although i could mark the squares, somehow the stitching is not nice. Also in bird view mode i cannot see much of the back and front since the car appears quite big in the screen. I feel like i have to cheat the settings by putting in smaller values? Second question, since i am using the system for surveillance, how can i share the video files other than removing the sd card? Thanks for your ideas!
Thanks for being the go to guy for honest opinions and great solutions
No worries, Sean & Thank you 🙂👌👍.
So when the ABS operates, where does any air go? As far as i can see it stays in the system? One or two cars makes, notably some Hondas, are designed so that when the ABS is activated with a diagnostic computer, trapped air is directed to one specific brake line - so that it can be cleared at the bleed nipple.
Yes, I did wondered this at the time too, so I looked up the bosch ABS unit that's fitted upon the van, within the workshop manual and it appears, when the ABS unit is being cycled, under a closed loop system it manages to self-vent any trapped air back to the reservoir via the valves that are being operated ( from memory, 6 valves ) within the ABS valve block whilst cycling, looking at the ABS hydraulic schematic within the manual, it makes more sense ( visually ) on how this works rather than the explanation provided within the manual. In an ideal world, we should be bleeding the brakes via the Easy Scan diagnostic tool ( the last time that I looked, these units were around £3000! ) which takes you through the brake bleed process that I've shown and cycles and operates the valves within the ABS unit during the bleeding process. However! This issue only happens when the brake system has been bled completely dry ( like, when changing brake pipes, where you can't really help, but let the brake fluid drain out of the system ). so, if its only the case of changing the calipers and the brake flexi hose have been clamped off, it should be a simple bleeding process without worrying about the ABS system, like it was on mine during the video 👌👍
@@Iveavan thanks very much for your reply - good to know. I had an issue bleeding my Pug307 (2006 model) - just hell it was, after a caliper and pipe change - tried suction bleeding, pressure bleeding, the lot but nothing would go through, even though Peugeot (and others) assured me fluid should fly through like that. Eventually, we stripped the front off the car off to get to the ABS (French cars!) and cracked open its pipes one by one and as we did so and this pressures changed, the ABS motor could be heard running (no computer attached). A thin brake fluid with micro air bubbles came out and after letting it settle several times and rebleeding it the same way we got it to work and the STOP light went off on the dashboard. We could not get any air out at all at the calipers - it was just clear brake fluid as it should be. Peugeot added that they sometimes use a computer but it shouldn't be necessary - if I understood that part correctly. Best of luck mate.
I’m in the process of sorting out 2 Range Rover Vogue seats so I know how time consuming it was mine never had the unit under the seats so I didn’t have to cut that out but the guy who took them out of the car was not too clever, the hardest part for me is finding the corresponding wires to the switches on the seat and for the life of be I can not make out how the plastic panel is fitted but there is wires coming out from the side of the seat and see if I can sort them out , I’ve not found the wires to raise and lower the head rest yet but I’m not in any rush I’m waiting for the relays to be delivered. Your video as. Been a great help Mark I will let you know how I get on with them
Cheers, Thomas, the head rest cable was tucked away right at the back, quite central next to the heated eliminate wires, only thin wires if I remember correctly. 😉👌👍.
Great video! Any details on how you got the slider to swing out like that? Working on mine now and i also dont wanna take the whole thing off!
From memory, two 8mm headed Alan key bolts hold the slider onto the interior part of the door ( remove those two bolts ). Then it pulls out along with the rubber grommet 👌👍.
@IVEAVAN Okay when you wire all the relays on one side you have + and - left but how does the relay system end on the other side.
Do you mean on the seat switch end or the power end ?
You said that the relay system has positive and negative on one side and one for the motor and one for the switch. I get all that 😅. What i dont understand is when you connect all the relays on after the other what happens with the last one... it closes the circuit by itself right ?
@djMitef nothing, that's the end of it, as you can't link to any more relays. So, second to last, just links to the last one.
Yep alright thanks for replying to my silly question 😅 Great video, you are helping fit Defender 3 seats in ford transit mk7 👌🤙🤙
Don't worry about it. No question is a silly question 👌👍. Just beware for tilting. The motors have to work opposite rotational way of each other when tilting forward or backwards 👌👍.
I don't know when you're done this why would suggest marine water resistant heat shrink is glue lined and will stopped watering rest that if you want to
Sorry? What are you on about?
Yes so I might not explained it too well they do Marine heat shrink which is glue lined which I said maybe better to put on your underneath wiring loom hope that makes more sense sorry
@cyrilwoolf8848 ah right, got you. yes, I have done that on the joins that I've soldered together on the camera cable, infact you can see one of the wires ( reverse light trigger wire ) @4:25 where I've used the self-sealing Polyolefin 👌👍.
Hi can i ask , do you have to replace the timing belt tensioner bolt , it doesnt come in dayce kit , cheers
I don't recall one in the timing belt I used either. So I must have used the original one. 👌👍.
Troppo bello questo furgoni
Thank you 😉👌👍...
Wonderful
Thank you 😀👌👍..
Your iveco is a xlwb ye ,did you have to pass an hgv to drive it coz there 7.2 tonight before putting timber and furniture in ,please advise .
I passed my test back in 1993, so I have grandad rights, plus my van is 3.5t 😉👍...
@@Iveavan is it not the 4 X4 version of the daily xlwb ,I passed my car test 17/12/86 so I'm ok for what weight ,please advise
@@Iveavan iveco daily L3H3 xlwb4 x 4 weighs 7.2 tons
@cliff1551 Before 1st January 1997 licences, you're usually allowed to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8,250kg maximum. No, my van is an LWB rear wheel drive (model 35-12) 👌👍.
@@Iveavan nice one I got nothing to worry about cheers mate 👋🤠👍
Remember doing the same with my sprinter gearbox
Is it possible to lift the iveco so it sits taller with a transverse spring
I'm looking into this myself. Other than setting the rubber buffers to either mid to soft settings, that's the only option so far, unfortunately 😕 👌👍...
Thanks for the reply, yer I'm stumped on this the back is easy
If it's ground clearance, you're after. Your best off going for the larger wheels ( 16" for the mk3) and the all terrain tyres will give you 3" roughly extra ground clearance 👍...
