Blimey! No replies. I know that resident T3s are thin on the ground up here - so it looks like it's the local garage for the tank swap.

Since Russel (Russel's Garage, Inchmore, Inverness) has stopped working on T3s I have had to utilise a couple of nearby garages for repair and maintenance work I am unable to do myself. To be fair these garages are ok, but as busy operations they need to get vehicles through as quick as possible and...

And when replacing the belt do leave a little slack in it......too much tension and you run the risk of knackering the water pump. Now, that is a pita!

In response to your question regarding the brake lights suddenly behaving themselves all I can say is that I experienced that as well. All was fine for a while and then the problem of sticking brake lights re-appeared. For the sake of a few quid I just changed out the brake switch (as explained abov...

No worries Steve,

Your plan sounds good.

Mick.

Where are you Steve? I too have recently bought a Trident (1.9DG); it's completely unmolested (as in, no-one has 'upgraded/bodged' or tinkered with it) so if you need a template to look at to see what's what with the internals you're more than welcome to look at mine. Having said that, I doubt if yo...

I'm with Rob and Cobblers on this one. Here's an extract I posted from a similar topic some five years ago: A little while back I had a problem with a manifold downpipe from JP Exhaust (Macclesfield) who had supplied the whole stainless system over 7 years ago. A crack had developed on the tight ben...

And answer came there none..................

Cal, when I lived in Glasgow (some 7 or 8 years ago) I used to use David Mylett Motor Engineers in Thornliebank. They work on all makes but David knows his veedubs and I certainly would recommend him. I guess it all depends on what side of the city you are as to whether Thornliebank is convenient fo...

Here you go Jamie............ JW AUTOBODY - John 07900 314 962 - www.jwautobody.com John Westwater at the above. He's a one man band, knows his stuff especially T3s, and has a waiting list (the good ones always do). He said that as the van is in Beauly it would be a shame not to have a look at it if...

Ok, I'll get back in touch as soon as...............
Mick.

Hi Jamie,

Depending on where you are in Moray and how far you are prepared to travel I know of a guy over Beauly way; I'm not sure if he's still working so I can check for you if you like?

I eventually went with a Fiamma fix/bodge system that clamps on to the roof bars thus raising the awning shell about 20cm above the gutters.

Cheers,

Ade,

First off, check your engine and gearbox mounts - they could be shot and flexing too much - hence the clunking when on inclines and on drive take-up.

CV joints tend to make a 'clucking' sound rather like an angry hen!

(Both examples above are from my own personal experience).

Mick.

It's happened to many of us.............don't worry it's not serious. Get some new bolts if they've been bent out of shape, torque up and continue.
(Check all the other bolts down there while you're at it).
