My old 19J got a bit cleaner on startup after cleaning the injector nozzles. Easy job once out. I put them in my ultrasonic cleaner. Fit new sealing washers if you do this. If you have clean oil, a good cooling system and don't thrash it, it will probably last a very long time. 19Js have loads...

When I fitted mine I experienced the same mounting width issue. In the end I used some 2x1" steel box section and simply drilled offset to fit the seats and original mounting points. Never quite understood why folks pay £40 for a bit of steel bar painted black! Don't forget to modify the...

Bearmach screen rubbers are OK IMHO. As above, warm it first, lots of lube and don't force anything!

Forgot to mention that there are some good videos on youTube explaining how to rebuild 200 TDI injectors. Ideally they should be leak and pressure tested, but you can clean the nozzles yourself if you are desperate.

Did my 200 stem seals in situ last year. Not difficult but a bit fiddly. Made a simple tool from a 6 mm thick strip of steel. Two of the seals had become unseated from the guide and had ridden up the valve stem. From the above, it sounds like you have other issues which I would look into...

Have a look on lrworkshop.com for parts diagrams for your model and year of vehicle.

The standard Hymer seat are high quality ISRI, and worth rebuilding in most cases. However, if you really wish to fit something else, most other seats can be fitted as the seat mounting base is just a box. If you have the swivels bases, you can just bolt a steel plate to the top and bolt on your...

Have a look on YouTube at Olly's channel- Sixth Element Engineering. He is a friendly guy and has recently done this conversion. Juice motors are also doing one right now, but not without problems.

@miktdish19J is an indirect diesel engine as the fuel is injected into pre-combustion chambers. Try cranking with the clutch pedal down. This removes some of the drag associated with the transmission. Engine oil viscosity also plays a part in cranking speed, especially when cold. Check you have...

I'm sure you know what you are doing, but it might be worth getting some isolator primer, especially if it has been previously painted in synthetic paint. Nothing worse than seeing a reaction in you nice new paint job! Also don't forget to use etch primer on bare aluminium. I see that you have...

Rear bracket replaces the bracket fitted to the tow bar anchor brackets, but I reckon you could add a plate to what is already fitted.

These may help.....found on the web. Do you have a front fitted already? I would be interested to know how you get on.

Hard to diagnose without experiencing the issue in person, however, worth checking that the oil is at the correct level and perhaps drain the oil and look for metal in the oil/ on the mag drain plug before removing your current gearbox. However, from your description, it does sound like there...

Fingers and toes crossed for you here. Let's all hope you've cracked it as I can imagine how you have felt at times. After a three year rebuild of my 90, I took it for a first drive a few weeks ago and suffered massive oily smoking, which didn't clear much after a run. I felt pretty miserable...

Might be worth contacting Simon at Motodrome. I have never purchased anything from them, but they appear to have an open and honest approach to selling their vehicles- they often have YouTube videos showing warts and all. Good luck (it's a minefield!).

If all grounds are good, check that a supressor is fitted to your alternator. Usually mounts externally and connects to the back of the unit via a spade terminal.

Good work. Contrary to popular belief, these seats can easily be modified for full access to the battery. Simply remove the four M8 bolts on the base of the passenger seat and fit studs and thumb nuts. The front two alone are sufficient to secure the base and are easy to get to. Also worth...

Love A65s and Superdreams (have owned 250s and 400s). You can't beat a Spitfire with a 5 gallon tank for looks. I had one on my A65 and it was a thing if great beauty. Did more miles on that bike than any other I have had over the years. Keep up the great work!

I have the same sunroof in my '89 90. I believe that Brittax (who made the originals) were bought out by Webasto, and you could ask them, however, it will probably be more expensive than the eBay option, if indeed available. I removed my old seal, cleaned it up and refitted it with silicon (as...

Yes, as above. If you don't, you will loose power and possibly some economy. If you clock the turbo you can make the pipework slightly simpler and use off the shelf components. Check out Glencoyne Engineering website for more details.
