Hi Goldsyncro,
Yes I have got a tow bar....I have looked into the ones which 'bolt' on to them but I also need to pull a campting trailer....so need it!! Is this where you are coming from?

Lee, Did you sell your van after? How did you manage with your insurance with the bull bar on it? Thinking of putting one on mine...used to have one years ago!!

Hi Lee... I bought one for work....its been great. What have you heard about them???? Have really concidered one for a camper but like the layout and practicality of the westy!! The T4 / T5 options seem alot smaller somehow! But alot more economical... but would miss the Syncro. T5's seem to be stup...

Hi all, Is there such a thing as a bike rack (such as the Fiamma) but available for 4 bikes. Why are they only sold for 3 bikes for the T25 when T4's and T5's are available in 4's ? Have got to the stage of thinking about selling the Syncro and buying a T5.... just to be able to get the right rack!!...

Im the owner of this van and have been waiting for comments to be put on the forum.....the van has nothing to hide and i agree that it should be worth in the region of £15000 but at the end of the day im not greedy and have come to the conclusion that spending so much time and money on a piece of me...

Thanks. can i get the grease anywhere?

Can i do fronts the same as this?? How can I tell if they are damaged?? There doesnt seem to be any play in them.

can i do this in situ or is it best off on a bench?

Thanks for reply. Have already changed all the bearings! Noise is driving me mad but friends are telling me to ignore it....and the wife does!! I think I may change the CV's.....

Hi all, I know there would be a 'clicking' from the fronts if they are going...but what about the inner front CV. Also what are the symptoms for the rears? I have a 'grumbling' or fairly loud 'grinding' noise which I cant locate. It starts about 35mph+ and is steadily getting worse. I can dip the cl...

Ex panel van as well....those windows / seals always seem to let the wet in and the rot!! Paint does look very fresh! I would want a close look first before parting with the cash. Good luck!!!

Doesnt look bad to me! Dont forget these are now 20+ years old!! Theres going to be some rust on them even if there looked after really well. I thinks its a great starting point to get into Syncro's. You could buy worse.....and many of us have!!!!

Thanks Aidan. Will go through these.

My syncro would always start with the first turn of the key!!!! It would just fire straight away....until....every so often it would turn over and over and not fire. No pattern to it....sometimes when hot other times when cold. The mechanic I use said it was the little plug in box in the engin bay w...

I have the same problem with my 16" at the mo. (see post on here) but cannot locate where from. Not sure if its the cv's or not. Have come to think that after 120,000 miles they all might want to be replaced!!?? But after seeing the price of the front outer cv.....perhaps not. Bus man wants 209...
