T3 Canvas Tilt & Hoops - Who makes them?

Hello I'm looking to put a canvas tilt and hoops onto my T3 single cab pick up. However I am struggling to find a UK supplier. I found Stu at http://www.vwcanvas.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but the website isn't working and I'm unsure if I have a current number for...

Pick up side locker - New lock needed

Hello all
My pick up has always only had one side locker that opens on the key.
I would like to put new locks on both sides so I can access them easier and have one key for both.
However I'm unsure which barrel and key I would need to buy, are they the same as a tailgate?
Yours confused, Jon.

Diesel Diesel Everywhere!

It's one bloody thing after another with this new pick up! I filled the pick up right up with diesel for the first time yesterday and when I walked back across the forecourt loads of bloody diesel had poured out onto the floor. I would guess about two litres. This then slowed to a regular drip. I ha...

Re: Swapping my 1.6D for an AAZ - Straightforward?

Oh and 1.6 non turbo gearing will be a bit short.. 65mph flat out.. reving ins nadds off... Good point, I have just done a deal for a five speed box which I have now decided to put a 1.6TD with rather than a AAZ. As its going to be cheaper and get me back on the road quicker. Hoping I have made the...

Swapping my 1.6D for an AAZ - Straightforward?

Hello Sorry if this question has been asked a thousand times before. But my 1.6D blew up (on the way home from buying it) :( So I thought I would swap it for a 1.9TD AAZ. I haven't the time to do it myself so will be getting a very good local garage to do it for me. If I find and buy a engine is it ...
