are you going to make a heat shield for the starter ?

Could be a linkage issue still, could be a clutch issue, could be lots of things. If you drop the gearbox oil and find lots of needle bearings on the drainplug magnet then the bearing under 1st gear has collapsed; if that's the case then you have big wear in the pinion bearing and pinion shaft is mo...

Coombe Valley Campers are in Sussex, as is Doug's VW Werks

connector at dash maybe a bit loose/displaced or not fully supported, the tab the circuit board is wrapped around is often broken and the plug support piece often missing

usually corrosion issue at the sender end, be aware that disconnecting the sender can, if the corrosion is bad, result in broken connection, the two pins for the plug are hard wired to the sender and bent through 90' in the white plastic plug socket moulding. Because the externals are in the wheel a...

don't try adjusting the valve clearances till it's had a proper run as if any lifters have drained down they need warmth and oil pressure to refill hence clattering when left and cold symptoms

Have you checked for any fault codes, if SSM1 type diagnostics then it's flashing lamp code activated by connecting the read memory connectors together with ignition off and then switching ignition on and counting the flashes of the check engine lamp (or lamp in the wiring as some converters might n...

if it has a distributor and you haven't replaced it or the rotor arm then maybe a good place to start, on a T3/T25 rotor arm and cap are 2 yearly service items originally as are spark plugs and air filter but I though EJ22 was a ecu/coil pack type ignition system - has it been modified from original...

<r>There aren't many companies with the capital to design, test and order short runs of often slow selling stuff for 30+ year old vehicles, and Brexit has limited the import of some of the available European stuff, but that market has changed a bit due to TUV and other regulations and realistically ...

clutch fork is same whether cable or hydraulic if you have 10-15mm of pull at the gearbox end of the cable then broken fork is definitely a possibility Only way to find out is to remove the gearbox I'm afraid it will then be clear if it's the fork or the release bearing, orclutch at fault RJES make ...

looks like 1/4 watt doing a picture search

without the boot being correctly fitted or if it has split that will allow crap to get into the cup and ball joint which can make a nice grinding paste with the lube. The ali cup tends to wear, especially when loosely coupled. Worth taking it apart and servicing, cleaning cup and ball, checking for ...

way back in 2004/5 three of us fitted Lambda probes from GSF to our new group buy JP stainless exhaust systems, all of them worked at first, all failed inside 700 miles, when tested before replacement the probe was cycling readings between high and low just as it should but it was like the ECU was s...

rear linkage picture, the bit of boot at the bottom is the remains of the skirt from a previous boot and can be removed and discarded, the boot at the top (251 711 167 E) needs the skirt pulling over the cup and pulling down so the tube part is on the alloy cup and the ribs are above, this is what I...
