89 Transit 2.5 Diesel (motorhome)

[jimmy]

Right so we have an 89 G reg Transit 2.5 non turbo diesel - I think it's referred to as a banana engine.

Ok it's slow as shit, I can cope with that. Steering is very vague though. I checked and it's got two UJ's down to a powersteering rack. It's got coil springs on the front instead of leaf springs which I think some from that age had.

The slop in the steering means its easy to get a real weave on as you try to keep it in a straight line.


I don't know where the breather or whatever is - but the tank has to be filled up VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY slowly or it comes pissing out like a maniac. It'll click off at the slightest pull of the trigger also. It's hard to fill. Any idea what could be causing this back pressure and where the breather hole is or if there's some other common solution?
