Snapped Cambelt

[Pirate]

Hi all, after loads of trips moving home my poor little van died 
I started it cold, put in reverse, drove about a foot & she died!
I have stripped her down, but have lost my haynes manual in the move, so dont know how to continue 
Can anyone help or scan the relavant page?
I hope there is no bent valves as i dont relish the thought of removing the head.
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark, im in most evenings after 5 and next week im off work (Yay) so will be around during the day. Its a shame JJ is so busy we could have all met up over a coffee  . Have sent addy etc in PM 

[Pirate]

I have now found my haynes manual
Time to get on & fit the new cambelt, lets hope no damage has occured, will report back later.
If she is ok i will treat her to an oil change & filter!
Thanks for the offer of your manual andy, nice to know what a good bunch of people we have on here

Closely inspect the tensioner wheel. Make sure the bearing is good & it spins freely

we will have to meet up with pirate and myself, andy

Yep Im up for that :-) We have just got back from a trip to Havant in the new Rascal (picked up 2 x distributors and a water pump for £2  from a guy on Ebay) The van does not like sustained (60 mph) duel carridgeway driving  The temperature kept climbing, Ive yet to service the cooling system and have noticed there is a fair amount of cooling fins missing from the radiator! A job for the weekend me thinks.

[Dell Boy]

New radiator required or it will be a head gasket gone!!!

Hiya Derek  Yes I figured Im going to need the Rad, but its finding one thats affordable chap  Have been scouring ebay this evening, but not much out there.
May I enquire how much you charge for one ?
Cheers

Hi Guys, more hassle, all was going well untill i tried to fit the cambelt, it was too short
It was listed as fitting the sj410 jeep, i thought this was the same engine fitted to the super carry?
Anyway, back it went along with the old one, new one should be in this morning....
Derek, the tensioner is fine, no damage to the roller & bearing is fine, water pump is also in good nick, i have given the sprockets a good clean, so all waiting for the new belt.
I will also treat her to a new oil filter & some castrol magnatec oil, will also check out the price of a new dizzy cap & leads, as she dont like the rain

we will have to meet up with pirate and myself, andy

I will be up for that once my ride is sorted
Cheers

Hello Andy P, I don`t sell radiators but there is one on ebay for £86.00. It would be the best investment you will make.

Morning Derek, yeah Ive been looking at that and its on my watch list  I brought the van into work with me today so I could have a look at the cooling system. Went out just now and took the rad cap off and the water is a muddy brown colour so will need draining down and flushing, I will pop past halfords tonight on the way home and pick up some coolant and distilled water.
