These are based near shipston on stour. Might be a bit far from you but Malc and his mate are very knowledgeable and do alot of work on t3s.

Double check the fuel filter. I have found it to be be a real pain to get the pipework airtight. Especially the ones with the thermo valve. Even had a new tank fitted because of air bubbles after thinking it couldn't be the filter!

Personally if it's not been flagged as an issue I would be inclined to leave alone. However I do regularly spray these areas with a bit of ptfe oil as part of routine maintenance. Don't know if it helps but hopefully it's worth it.

The lug (not to sure what it's called) that is used to attach the tailgate to the body has snapped. Does anybody know where I can get one from or what they are called.
I'm on a campsite at the moment so going to have to come up with a temporary bodge for now, any ideas?

Should it have a biggish spring under the alternator to act as a tensioner? Mine has but this was missing when I first got the van and was having to do the same thing as you.

Could well be rear cylinder. A leaking one was the cause of mine although there was no sign of it leaking. However it did leak from the drum eventually and by this time had contaminated the shoes. Check the brake fluid level.

Welcome. You might not panic but your wallet will

How about some kind of tarp that goes over the van but also provides a bit of a canopy over the doors.
Is it raining in?

Have a word with Alan Schofield. They might he able to fabricate one for you. I know they do a repair piece.
