Hi Mark and welcome.

Yours will be a 'facelift' CF1 if it's got the later CF2 front end, or just CF1 if it's got the rounded front wings. Apart from front body panels most parts are the same as CF1 unless anything has been modified since the van left the factory. 2.3 petrol engine will be the Vauxhall 'slant'; 2.3 diesel will be the GM one.

One exception is the petrol engine ignition system: if it's got a black distributor cap then it's Delco contact breaker (which might have had Lumenition or similar electronic conversion); if the cap is brown then it's the Bosch electronic ignition.

how strange

well got stuck in to the project this morning with my good old dad only to find the reason the camper was a non-runner is someone has fitted an isolater switch turned it on and the old girl belched into life diesels a bit noisey but what a bonus.

Hi Mark
Welcome to the club
You are lucky.....hope everything else is as easy to sort ! But lots of helpful people here if you get stuck .Is yours a LWB ?. Would be great to have some pictures. Mines is a CF1 facelift model on an X plate think its a Gledale coachbuild but no idea as there are so many different ones.....haven't seen one like mine yet though.Mine is still at the garage at the moment so haven't even driven it yet, but when ready look forward to driving her from Leeds to my home in scotland....gulp !!

Margaret
