Hello again all, and thanks for the response.
Can anybody please tell me the size of the thread on the stub axle, or failing that the socket size for the nut? I'm considering trying a die nut of the same size or one size down.
Thanks.

As far as I am aware the fail was due to (amongst other things) the wheel bearing being worn. The problem with the stub thread has,I assume,arose following the bearings replacement. Anyway, I'm going to the garage tomorrow to get the full story. The reason I chose to use this particular test station...

Thanks for the info all. Billy, am going to check today, if the Bluestar isn't compatable do you have one to sell, or do you know of one?

Ok, thanks.

Thanks for that. One last thing, the spares source is local to me but my van is at the MOT garage 40 miles away so I won't be able to immediately compare the setup, what should I be looking for?

Thanks again.

Hi I have a 1983 petrol, owned since December last year. Just want to clarify what Em said above about there only being one filter in the fuel line - mine has two additional filters either side of the pump, fitted by the previous owner. Any opinions as to whether I should revert to the one single at...

Many thanks.
Sorry about the incorrect description,I am new to this game and thought that "Transporter" was a generic name. The van is a Holdsworth pop top conversion with solid sides.
Again, thanks for your help.

Hello.
Could anyone advise whether a lhd gearstick can be used to replace a snapped rhd stick on a 1995 1.9 5 speed petrol transporter, and if so are there any disadvantages?
All help gratefully received.
Thanks
