Thank you for taking time to look one up for me. This does indeed look like what I was expecting to see. I had been on their site but hadnt come up with this one. Will get it ordered asap. Many thanks. Wont be getting under the engine though for a week or so tho! It will be bump started as I live on...

So if I havent got one as my starting motor is just a cased in one tubular cylinder with no additions how did mine work? Of course it just occurred to me perhaps mine isnt genuine VW and could have come off anything?

Starter motor has died. Ive got a T25 1983 air cooled 1.9. Anyway I have seen my starter motor and ive been looking to replace it but so far on the sites ive looked at they all have an additional attachment which I am told is the Celanoid but I dont have that on the existing. Questions 1. Will this ...

It was fine until I had a full service! The bloke used the wrong leads, the wrong plugs, his excuse being that he didnt have time to order the parts. He did and he knew I was coming and he knew i was doing a trip down south the next day. That service caused us to break down in Derby, because we had ...

Well im off on a 300 mile round trip so lets hope we get there! Got the rac card and my sleeping bag just in case.

Mmmm. Had a compression check. Hence how i found out only two cylinders firing. I think the throttle cable may be a possibility because when i bought the van the bloke had been driving around for months with a mpg of about 12mpg and that was the culprit. Sometimes it feels like the fuel isnt getting...

My van is driving like a sack of old spuds. It used to be quite poky, now its struggling up hills etc. Had a tow back from Bristol to Sheffield last autumn. Initially they thought it was a fuel problem, so my system got a check right through then the RAC realised that the service before id set off w...

I want to change the back seat from push and grunt to rock and roll.

Will that still let me use my lap belts?

Will i be able to use existing wooden backing or do i have to buy the whole lot?

Good job you know what van ive got Mocki cos it is the same one.

And i rue the day i ever put that high top on!

So Harry I do have a two litre.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh Harry dont ask me questions like that cos i dont know what all those initials mean but i think it may be the 1.9.

YEP thats me in garage just cant work out how to put the pics on.

No i havent had one of those tests. My regular bloke is coming for a look at it at some point so i will mention it. He cant do the job if it is cylinder head but he will at least make sure it needs doing!

Just benefited from the services of the RAC, my van is currently on holiday with them in Weston Super Mare and is coming back on a lorry Wednesday. Had loads of trouble getting down to sunny devon but we made it. Leads, new hoses etc and then it had a couple of days in a Paignton Garage having furth...

Having just read another thread that only 4 x 4s manufactured after 2001 will be screwed for higher road tax does this mean that our 1980 models will become even more desirable?

My third gear has been crunching for five years, before i had a new clutch i could sort of waggle my way around it, now its tight and i cant. Anyway lately it keeps popping out of gear on third, do you think i may be in trouble?

Has anyone got any ideas where i could go to get some? Heard not to buy Ebay from an earlier posting.
