My 2014 Ford Transit Mk8 Camper conversion done mostly with 2020 aluminium extrusion, prioritizing a 4 seater dinette (although from the time of Ep 18, I've been seriously considering changing to a 3 seater dinette) with a twin swivel passenger seat, a shower/washroom and toilet, a Murphy bed using a self made aluminium box section frame, side facing rear lounge. With all the highs, lows, successes and failures of a first time self build.

50 Miles After ECU Replacement It's On Again!!
Переглядів 10014 днів тому
Another little departure from my camper build. I was in two minds whether to upload this or not, but after a trip out for more wood for the build (a couple of days after the initial road test), I feel justified - after the initial road test, I didn't notice as much how much improvement pulling at sub 1500RPM there is, and it actually feels as if it's pulling stronger when the turbo really kicks...

Trying to figure if a recent 'Engine Service Now'/limp mode episode, & a current non crank issue are different problems, or one & the same. Also, doing a DPF clean myself, using aerosols as part of an attempted solution.

      If the fault code comes up again I'll have have em deal with it when it's in for the MOT - they'll do a smoke machine test. It's quite a bit better so unless the fault code comes up again I'm not touching it 😅

      Eyup Craig. I've watched a good few of his videos. It does seem like the MAP sensor was at fault - I've been out for more wood this morning and noticed the improvement in a couple of places 👍

  • @craigkidman

      It can develop into an obsessive nightmare getting adjoining t&g pieces to line up tight at both ends 😞

  • @Dirt-Diggler
    @Dirt-Diggler Місяць тому

    I have periods of ignoring the van but once I get going on it I enjoy the challenges, the trouble is remembering I'll enjoy it and actually getting my arse in gear 😂, tis why I'm 4 years in and still at 90% , well that and I keep redoing bits 🙄👍 Keep at it chap 👍

    • @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is
      @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is Місяць тому

      Don't remind me about redoing bits - I'm trying to pluck up the will power to do what I'm intending doing next.......😞

  • @Dirt-Diggler

    Use a hair dryer to heat those sound deadening pads, wont get the panel too hot, not as hot as being in direct sunlight, not that we get direct sun in tbe UK 😂

  • @Dirt-Diggler

    Not a fan of windows myself but they do look good 👍 I blocked off most of my windows cos they where too big, if i had a choice i would have fitted small windows like you have 👌

    • @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is
      @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is 4 місяці тому

      Thanks. I'm trying not to overdo it - it'll need at least a waste water system connected before it's useable and I've plenty of other bits to do that I'd want done before I go anywhere with it, so although it keeps looking to me like I'm getting close to it being useable, it's a bit of a mirage 😅

    • @Dirt-Diggler
      @Dirt-Diggler 3 місяці тому

      @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is tell me about it ! I'm 3 years into my build, I only got running water a month orr so back 🤣 my grey tank is a jerry can under the sink, a pain to keep emptying but I use it as a mobile workshop mainly so not too much of an issue, if I was away for more than a weekend i might think about upgrading, but then there's so much else to snag .

  • @chrismartin7328
    @chrismartin7328 4 місяці тому

    Is it abit low ???

    • @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is
      @DavesTransitMk8Campervan-mi3is 4 місяці тому

      I actually think it could do with being lower, but if you mean the tilt angle - I suppose it might keep the sun out of the driver's eyes better if it was tilted up more, but then it'd be much more likely to flap about, which I'd rather avoid.

    I feel your pain, I just spent 3 weeks redoing a cabinet cos I wanted a different sink, every change creates 2 new problems and so on but you showed some great problem solving there 👍 there's a certain satisfaction to solving problems using what you already have, though as I say I usually create the problems in he first place 🤣 Soon be finished chap 👌 well as finished as a DIY build ever is 😁

      Most of this video is older than the last one so it's a bit confusing seeing em in the wrong order, & I didn't want to potentially spoil it for anyone that might want to watch both vids. That's all sorted now anyway, thank heavens - was just the ECU 👍
