  3. You got guts kid...get to a safe spot . No cars wizzing by .
     
  4. I just gotta get rid it's way past the point of nonsense, can't take it any more about 4 grand 6 breakdowns ago.
     
  5. Cant say i blame you . That's the problem ,you got a learn how to fix your own sh/t. You need to spend an afternoon and put your head in that thing and just get familiar with every stupid little piece. Fuel injection's. Are great and run perfect but when something happens you need to know what it might be. And only the owner takes care like no other. Like I said these tubes and rubber boots can look fine but are Leaking or problematic. U just got to get in there. Just make sure that temperature sending switch on number 1 (the left) cylinder head is properly installed and wired up.

  6. The biggest problem with that bus I see is it's not just the normal T2 or westfalia dime a dozen like we all have .... It's a very special model so if you get rid of it you'll always regret it.

    that's true at this point it doesn't need to be original. But it's a shame. Unfortunately maybe that there's somebody who knows these things that is a part of this forum nearby , who's willing to just give a hand. was thinking to come travel England next year to cut trees and fix buses.

    It seems like a fuel issue. Have you a new fuel filter fitted? Might be blocked?
     
  10. Think so but it runs fine, gets hot and packs up
     
  11. Must be electrical, soon as I changed the relay it fired up fine then 10 miles later the same.

  13. Something is overheating and failing. When you stop and it all cools down, you seem to be able to start ok and then 10 miles down the road when its hot again, it judders and stops.

    Maybe it is an overheated pump or relay or coil. Its going to be a minor fault and when it fails its not permanent, only temporary.

    Have you changed the condenser too?

  15. And unfortunately, new parts like a coil don't necessarily mean you can rule that out as not being at fault, it makes it less likely but not impossible, i'd bung another coil on it, and see. Its only gonna be one of components of the big bang - fuel/spark.
