Hi jim - no mate the engine is same as ever... running ok but :pimp like a rasta and as we want to tour france next year, i wouldn`t trust the current lump so.... I`m looking for a complete mk3 diesel golf thinking it could work out cheaper than a lump and all the accessories but i`ll play it by ear...

Well after all that - there isn`t a hope in hell of them fitting - not a t25 at any rate - i didn`t allow for the wheelarches being in the way so time to sell them on. The money will go towards buying a diesel Golf or similar for the seats and engine - shame though as these seats are the mutts nuts :(

I can honestly say having spent lodes of weekends there, that the lower lode in in forthampton Gloucester is a great place to stay
good food, good beer, good facilities and not far from tewksbury.
Cya there sometime

Excellent job mate - pleased as punch with it
now i`ve just got everything else to do

Hi all, My 16td JX is a bit of a smoker but on sunday after out 1st overnight and on the return leg(only about 50 miles) the engine dumped about 2 liters of oil. I thought it was burning it as it stank us out but as you can see from the piccy it was burning ON the exhaust not from it. http://i634.ph...

Hi, Yes I have the same `brass hinge` repair and mine does the same - I think because the hinge doesn`t hold the pedal securely and the only solution is to replace it

I`ll prolly leave it till after you`ve had it mate - I don`t want to not be able to drive it. Incidently the seats were originally on swivel mounts but i thought they were too tall. Similar to this; http://www.discountvantruck.com/rvvanseatbases/rvvan_base_images/71-Chevy-swivel-base-209.jpg They ar...

they might just fit in the hollow between the runners??? then if you cut the front out on the van between the runners still have for and aft? Yes you could be right - 395mm between runner centers on the original and only 30mm from center to the edge of the hollow - new seats are 8 1/2 inch centers(...

Yes Jim - they are :twisted: actual seat http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/baldrick/Das%20Kamper/IMG_2472.jpg Bottom http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/baldrick/Das%20Kamper/IMG_2465.jpg another view http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/baldrick/Das%20Kamper/IMG_2466.jpg I forgot that ...

Thanks Rob but no need as I had the parts in the kit but thought they were for the other part of the selector as I don`t remember taking the old ones out :oops: All done and working great - another of many jobs crossed of the list thank you all. Next job is replacing the servo pump, the replacement ...

Ok done that - I didn`t know how to manually selct reverse either but managed :o Well, I don`t have 1st and reverse - so it seems the stick can`t move far enough over - there is a device attatched to the bottom of the stick which `clicks when the stick is moved to reverse - this one:- http://i634.ph...

Hi, I`ve just fitted a Brickwerks refurb kit - no instructuions and no manual and now I`ve lost reverse gear and maybe others but he`s parked on a downbank with a drop at the end so i`m not going to find out
Any sugestions?

Cheers

Hi all, you`d think withg a monika like mine i could do any welding myself but truth is i`m just too busy/bone and need it doing sooner rather than later. It`s not a massive amount - just a pair of rear arches,1 inner and surprisingly a couple of doorsteps :lol: I need someone near stafford/lichfiel...
