Hi all.....Just thought I would post some pictures of the new van finally home from wagga Wagga NSW
hadn't been driven for 5 years, and still ran like a dream... the clock works....which appears to be an issue for a few including our yellow van.....motor sounded fine but oil the oil pressure gauge dropped off to nothing several times, we pulled up on the side of the road, turned off the motor, left it to slightly cool, then started it up, and it had oil pressure so drove on, after the oil pressure dropped off to zero three times in a row, we got out the trusty tools, left the motor idling and screwed the oil pressure sender unit out of the block of the motor, and there was good oil pressure there, so decided there was no problem in the motor and it was the gauge. then after disregarding that issue, had no other problems with our trip home put her through the carwash, if you notice the paint off the inside of the bonnet the water blew it off, so must have been loose.....bit odd but oh well....
while at repco comtemplating buying a new oil light sender....a couple looked at the Van discussed it was a Sandman, then saw me in the car and came over.....they said wow we have one of them, in restoration process, they have just moved down to Wagga from North somewhere and are with the army I think....after chatting told them about the forum so could have another couple of members soon.....good to see so much interest......
