Is it common for T25 speedos to bounce whilst moving, mine jumps about 2-3mph when driving in every gear!

That would be my biggest fear of undertaking it myself that if nuts/bolts are seized and start shearing them off.

They van has only done just over 33,000 so would think it’s the original pump and never been removed.

During my recent clutch replacement, the garage noticed that my water pump was leaking slightly. I’ve since had a quote from another independent garage of £480 + VAT (based on 4 hours’ labour), which doesn’t include replacing the fan belt. Does that sound like a reasonable price? The fan belt looks ...

Yikes. Sometimes as you say, have to just suck it up. Clutch master shouldn't cost that though, unless it's a gold one ! https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/clutch-master-cylinder-t3-oem/?srsltid=AfmBOooVOJrKj0kX9YFwQQnrLYkGLm1F7kRDt5WfgT-dzJlsfV8PB3YT That's the best one that's available It’s a suppl...

Went to collect it and the owner was really nice, he left it on the 4 post and took me to look underneath. He pointed out some areas of attention, mainly stuff I can do on my drive as some pipes need protecting with rubber sleeve as they are rubbing, he also pointed out the water pump is leaking so ...

Finally completed it but the master cylinder bleed bolt is seized solid, now requires a new one at £244+ dreaded vat, turning into an expensive week on this van.

Looking at his instagram link in his bio, the van is up and running!!

I think it’s a manual, the auto (auto sleeper) is the same as mine and it means high top.

So I bit the bullet and booked it in for a clutch replacement. Once the van was fully loaded, I took it out for a test drive and didn’t have much faith that the clutch would last much longer, especially with the biting point being so high. I left it with the garage and, two days later, got the dread...

I wonder if he fixed it?

Does it even attempt to turn over, if no I would say starter is dead. Give it a gentle tap and try again?

Yes haha

Thanks for that, they sell the set for £95.50 are yours standard glass?.

I will defiantly get the anti theft bolts, to be honest never thought about somebody steeling them

Hey So when I recently got my van I was driving back and noticed the wing mirrors looked tired but also that the glass seemed to be slightly magnified, the wife was following me back on the motorway and I thought sh#t she’s really close but looking in the rear view she was well back from me. I purch...

So I take it mine is the 1.9 carb, not the fuel injection model as I was told.

Sorry I’m really not mechanically talented haha

@Lilythefrench if your engine is the DH then the fuel filter was made obsolete by VW many years ago you might need something like this ? ebay link I can't be sure cos I can't get the VW part number for the DH engine, the GW uses the big one same as the 2.1 which is probably what you got from Herita...
