Hi been having some starting problems - van would start fine from cold but would struggle to start when hot requiring a couple of RAC callouts and a trip on a low loader ! Garage replaced Distributor cap, HT Leads, Plugs, and Coil, and the van now starts Ok. They did say, that the starting problems ...

Found the culprit, leaking pipe, ordered a replacement from NWVW



cheers

So the 2 bolts on the door side of the U ?

Hi
my van went in for some welding and the bodyshop removed the door to get at the rear wheel arch. Now its sitting 2-3mm too high at the back and the door fouls at the top and the catch snags on the way in. Could anyone tell me what might have gone wrong or how I can adjust please

Sounds good to me ! Will give it a go, thanks

The install didn't go as smoothly as planned as late on a Friday Charlie ran out of gas and couldn't get the studs off the manifold, but he did it properly, squeezing me in the next week and I'm v...

Hi
I am going to be down in Bridgend/Cardiff over Sept/Oct and looking to get some work done on the van which is a Golf GTI (PB) powered T3. Needs some basic work on the brakes and the oil pickup. Also looking for a custom exhaust fabricator.
