Van all sorted at last... i hope!

first problem, was the distributer cap not on right, and timing out/mixture etc.

booked into Interpro at Thornbury to get rolling roaded on Friday.

2nd problem: battery got drained in under 6hrs when engine off (and no lights left on before you ask!)

2 batteries later and all the wiring checked etc..

Turns out to be a wire plugged into the regulator that shouldn't of been, causing a permanent drain on the batt. This screwed up the charge circuit big time!

So now happy and back on the road!
