i need your email to send you whole write up

inside the distributor. what are the symptoms?

If they are power locks and u install a remote start u can.......Hope this helps.

normaly that would be true, except our vans have an extra oil resivewar (sorry i cant spell) under the hood, its on the passenger side of mine(battery and air filter on driver side). What it does is dump more oil into your pan if level gets old. also cycles oil from pan to res back to pan, lessens oil change visits.

whole assembly has to be changed, the bearing is one non-dissasemblable unit, it has to be pressed out and in. best done by someone who has the right tools.

Your battery is in need of charge, or there is a bad connection (corrosion) at the terminals. Try to jump start, check connections. If you still can't start it, bring the battery to a store for a free check of it's condition. Let me know if this does not solve the problem.

Most likely yes,but have one put on,you may have got lucky depending on where the belt broke and left the crank.

Switch not likely.
Relay or fuse much more likely.
Shunt at the switch first, to see if it works then.
Only buy switch if it works when shunted.
But getting a switch online is too trivial for us to look up for you.

As long as the seat belt is working ok, I've never heard of needing to replace it when doing the air bag.

not quite enough info, but the bearings usually need to be pushed out in a hydraulic press

in the middle there is a joiner from one side of the fuse to the other if there is a gap between the two then thats the one to replace

they are all in metric sizes,please do not use an adjustable !!! (you measure flat to flat)

12mm i think mate ,best of british from spain

Hello
White smoke is usually a sign of water in the oil,being burnt along with fuel in the cylinders.

Check your oil if there is a milky white color on the dipstick then you need to take it in for service.

Second
You may need to have your fuel sysytem cleaned and checked,sometime white smoke can be from improper fuel mixture.

there are very small oil galleries in that engine and the varnish will build up and restrict the flow of oil and it will leak past the valve guides.
do a compression test,and if it is good,the oil is not burning from the rings.,but from the valve guides.the seals need to be changed.
