Not sure what type but think it's electric. Fuel gauge show a quarter of a tank but put some more in today and still no luck. I poured some directly into the carb and it started, so I'm assuming from that there's a blockage or the pump is failing. Given the noise it's making, I'm going for the later...

Hi, having problems starting my van. The fuel pump is making a really loud knocking sound, so I presume it's not working properly (it's never been that loud before). Are they easy to replace?

Good idea, just not sure what they're worth. Will put them up for offers.

Quick update, eventually found some captain seats and now have them installed. It was a 10 minute job, they just slid the old one straight off the runners and slide the new ones in.

A great upgrade and makes driving even more relaxing.

Old seats are now going on ebay.

Thanks for the info, Metalmick8y I hope you get yours sorted too. Feel bad if it's broken! I thought the best way would be to take the door card off and try to get my hand in. I'll have a play at the weekend. For info though the door is stuck solid and won't move forward or backward, there is a litt...

The passenger door has got stuck, it was locked when it wasn't closed properly and now I cant open or shut it. The key wont turn the lock and basically I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi,

What type of captains seats did you fit? Were they original T25 ones? I want to put some in my van but they seem to be very rare, any advise on what's the easiest ones to fit (still finding my way around a tool bag)

Hi, Thanks for the replies, the current engine is leaking oil from the bottom end somewhere and I can't pin point it. Also it is throwing out an oily mess from the exhaust all over the back of the van. Whilst its done us proud this summer we want to use it extensively next year and would prefer to k...

Hi guys, need some advice please. We've only had our van for a year and we've had a great summer attending a few festivals and taking her out and about. But now the summer seems to be over we are going to stick in a new engine. Can someone recommend where to get one from? Is there much price differe...

Happy to report she is running like a dream, thanks again for your help.

Alive and V-Dubbin here we come

Yeah, so I see. I'll order them at the same time.

Thanks again for fixing her, I owe you one. Let me know if you ever need a hand with something.

Will take her for a spin later

Yep all rubbers still on there. A lost nut would explain it a little more as nothing seems to be broken, should be able to get a proper look under there tomorrow and see what's happened. Thanks for the replies and offers of help, if I get stuck tomorrow I'll be in touch.

We're in Trimley St Martin, just near the Hand in Hand pub. I will pop to GSF in Ipswich today to see if I can order the new part. UPDATE Just spoken to VW Heritage and they pointed me to this part : http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Joint-gear-shaft-T25-all-7-82-1-6-2-0-12-10-251711219_act_shop.p...

Have edited, hopefully that will help.

It's the part where the rod connects on to the gearbox.

Our van Betty has broken, the linkage from the gear selector and gearbox has broken. We are due to go to Alive and V-Dubbin on Friday so I need a new one fitted ASAP.

Firstly where's the best place to get one from and secondly how easy are they to fit?

Any help is greatly appreciated
