finally an update... we had a few (!) teething troubles with the 1st engine we got, leading to it seizing after 9 miles the day we picked it up, and 3 weeks after the original engine blew. the jury is still out as to whether it was a problem with the recon engine or how it was fitted, and I doubt we...

Just to keep you all posted we ended up getting the one from the vw engine company. Bit more expensive but good reviews on the site and they seemed to know what they are on about. Time was at a premium as van in garage and we need it sorted and broken in for trip to France in June. It arrived yester...

Hi All, Our engine blew on friday on trip to lakes and seems somehting has come loose and burst through the engine casing. We are getting it hauled to our local gargage tomorrow and urgently need the van in working order before a trip to france in mid june. We have looked at engines from the engine ...

We never made it to the meet on Thursday but had planned to go to the next one... Only problem is we set off for a trip to the lakes last night and our engine blew out on the motorway!

Great thanks, thanks for the links we will look them up. Trusting this kind of thing to someone else always feels like a bit of a leap of faith but we are just really stuck on time at the moment & dreading it all getting worse while we sit on it. Cheers!

we are based in Liverpool and would like some help with repairing a suspected leak around the windscreen of our van. We would love to do it ourselves but with limited time and facilities and time we were hoping to find a local vw enrhusiast garage who could help us out with fixing this, +/- undersea...

We have just had our panel van fitted out by the campershak (http://www.thecampershak.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) based in ormskirk. Cannot recommend them enough, very professional and clearly very passionate about what they do and reasonable prices, not trying to...

Thank you for that. Our van has gone on to have the back fitted out as a camper but have decided to leave the cab well alone. We will have another look at the sunroof when we get it back in Feb. Thanks again!

we bought our panel van in August and we are getting it conerted into a camper (keeping tintop roof). There is a sunroof in the cab which has been sealed shut due to a leak by the previous owner and we would like to get it to open (and re-seal it) or replace it but I can't seem to find a any replace...
