If  you can put a Meteor/Merlin engine into Rover SD1putting one into a
vanagon should be easy! When I win the lottery...

Proper vanagon content:

  I keep finding a puddle of water under the rubber mat by the wash
bottle filler. I can't see where it is getting in as there seems to be
no damp trail  running from the windscreen or doors and it's not from
filling the was bottle. This is  in a water cooled 83.

Any ideas?


Jerome
