I had just purchased my current van in 2005 when I had to deal with the same problem of leaking boots. I know all the "purests" on the forum will pooh-pooh this, but I had great success with Bar's...

Sorry skibum,

I guess it's just a case of sanding/filing down the bolt head to allow for a 12mm socket. This thread was stupid to begin with and I'm sorry anyone bothered to read it!

Here I was all set to replace my front disc pads and I no sooner jack up the van before I ran into a roadblock! Is it a 12mm bolt or 7/16 SAE? I feel like a real dummy on this one!!! :lol: Thanks.

It's been a coon's age since I posted, simply because my van has been running fine. I also find it frustrating that my personal knowledge gained with these vans (88' & 86') is not sufficient in...

I use Opera as my browser of choice and the little favicon showed up when I bookmarked the site. However, with Opera and, I believe Google Chrome, my homepage has thumbnail miniature pages of my...

Thank you Sky,

We have a distant member named Majortom on that other forum who inquired of Maley's 87' Service Manual. I burned a copy for him as well as the EPC and informed him of this site....

Jim,

That's a great DIY for the spare tire. Several years ago I showed another way to mount the spare on that other forum. :lol: I think I'll give your approach a try. Well done!

My dear friend says, "I'm blessed!", Myself, being agnostic, feels merely "lucky!" :lol: Anyway, I pulled the alternator and swapped the IC regulators from the original alternator that I had kept and...

You really have to love the enthusiasm new van owners have with their Toys! Anyway, I'm glad Vango found the forum, which is not easy.

Gwen, I checked as you suggested and, sure enough, the only...

I finally did what I should have concentrated on doing all along! That is making sure my new battery was fully charged, i.e., 12.68 volts. I assumed that because I was getting the "click", it was the...

Gwen & Sky,

Thanks very much for your replies. What sticks out in my mind was how sudden the "click" occurred! This simply didn't get worse over time, it just happened. I have an ignition switch...

And I forgot to mention that yellow fusible link thingy? Is crumbling apart. Should I put a 30 amp fuse in its place? Thanks again.

Gary

Still messing around with the "click, click, click" problem. Took a close look at the positive cable end, where 2 other leads come off the post, the top connection seemed like it was holding on by a...

You're correct Tim, it sounds off only when I go to start. The battery's 2 mos old and the starter is just fine. I'll follow your write up and trace the little wire backwards until I find the...

I should have mentioned this in the opening post. The battery voltage reads 12.5V and everything is clean and tight. It's that buzzing noise when I turn the ignition that is really throwing me for a...

Hi all,

Well, the van crapped out on me a few days ago with the dreaded "Click" sound. I pulled the starter and examined the copper contacts of the solenoid and they were surprisingly unworn! Had...

Simply a very classy post Sky, nicely done!
