  8. that was my first idea so ive swapped with another set but still the same but I have another set to try so ill try those tomorrow and see what happens
  9. last night I noticed the right hand indicator is permanently on when I have the headlights on, I know they were fine on Wednesday as that's the last time I drove it at night, ive swapped the stalks over with another set and still same problem anyone got any ideas?
  10. ill have a mess tomorrow if i get a chance
  11. ive just swapped the engine on my van to a tdi and now the gearbox doesnt like staying in 5th, if i dont hold it in 5th it will pop out on corners or when braking any got any ideas?
  12. crank and pistons fitted and torqued up http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/james080888/2001%20ford%20escort%20van/2013-02-09124720_zps3594460e.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/james080888/2001%20ford%20escort%20van/2013-02-09124740_zpsb0cf232d.jpg sump and flywheel fitted http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/james080888/2001%20ford%20escort%20van/2013-02-09160042_zps7806559b.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/james080888/2001%20ford%20escort%20van/2013-02-09160342_zps1956b3a0.jpg
