Got it back home in the Dark---And I mean Dark.
After 2 miles there was an engine stutter come in and it cut out. Left it a couple of minutes and it restarted. Looks as though the Battery needs replacing and the ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING.
Drove 25 miles on sidelights and just got to the Driveway and it stalled. Now parked on the road till I can get some lads to push it on the driveway Tomorrow.
But it drives well- steering and brakes are fine and the engine pulls like a good un.
Hope I have found the mechanical fault (S)-------
It is a T25 Transporter with a Devon conversion to camper van. The T25 was after the T3 and before the T4 as far as I can make out.
And those Split Screen vans-- Rarer than Rocking horse droppings over here and the ones that are about are all in the hands of Enthusiasts. Occasionally they do come up for sale and a Runner in any condition will start at $20,000. Saw an early Bay window one on E-Bay with a starting bid of $80,000. It did look nice though. Problem is --I could get a decent bike for that amount and I know where my priorities lie.
