thanks very much, sounds like just the job

Hi,

Just started to prep our camper for some painting and removed fridge vents etc. All the gooey stuff
that seals them has perished over the years. Can anyone recommend what sort of sealant
I should use to replace this please?

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Aidan for your help and also thanks in advance for the gearbox itself!!

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks for the posts, I may be in touch with Aidan
soon - still waiting to see what the verdict is from the garage.
They reckon it is the box and not the linkage, but someone else has told
me it's very rare for a box to fail so we'll have to see.

thanks

It's at the VW garage in Wantage, I'm gonna get walloped for a huge bill.....

Is the one in Eynsham any good I take it?

cheers

Hi, Any thoughts on our sick van :( would be really appreciated please? It broke down a week ago with a crunching of gears and ended up getting taken to the nearest VW garage (in Wantage) as it wouldn't start at all. It's already had a new starter motor fitted just to get it going. They're now sayin...

Hello, Just come to fit some mudflaps from JK thinking it would be a breeze but I'm struggling to work out how they go on - no instructions! I saw an earlier thread but couldn't see the pics for some reason. Could anybody tell me how I fit them please - especially the rear ones to start with cos I t...

Hi I've just had all my welding done on mt Holdsworth Villa 3, took it along to the the spary shop next door and the guy quoted me £2,000 for a full re-spray - the full monty including windows and rubbers out, filling in , prep work and filling the new seams in. This would be in the same original c...

DOH I see what you mean now! Mis-read that one.
Thanks again! I was a bit surprised that kwik-fit would be cheaper.

So the exhaust studs are much easier, Great I'm not so worried now! Thanks for your trouble anyway Cumbrian Keith - all interesting stuff anyway as we do have a 1.9 DG. I may look at another engine in the future.....see how much I get charged this week just for the exhaust studs. ColinMSC - ta also....

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! the stud remover only worked 3 of the studs!!! our van now has to to another garage (who can't fit it in until next wednesday) for them to drill out/helicoil or whatever it is they have to do. we're meant to be at vanfest next friday.......we've been told this could cost up to 600 ...

Oh bugger we've taken our van to have a complete new exhaust fitted and have been told ALL the bolt heads going into the cylinder head have snapped off. The garage are going to try and get them out with a stud remover in the morning. I know there is a risk that the threads will strip when they do th...

Hello Is anyone able to recommend how I can quickly paint my wheel hubs a nice chrome colour to match my VW hub caps? They're a combination of black and rust at the moment! Is it just a case of a bit of sanding and spray paint? Or maybe I should buy new wheels. I think I'll buy alloys eventually whe...

Thanks for all the ideas. Grandparents are too far away sadly! We went for putting her behind the R and R seat last night but ended up bringing her in bed with us when she woke up later. It was a bit crammed with three of us in the bed, she's going in the high top next time! I think she's a bit litt...
