Oh... and as for the rebuild - here is the info: How much was your rebuild ? With all parts and labour, about £1800. Who did it (and are you happy with them) ? Brixham Garage in Paignton - and yes, very happy with them . They went out of their way to take on my project when they were busy and have b...

Thanks for all the replies. I passed what you all said to the Garage and they found it very useful. It turns out they replaced the high pressure switch with the wrong switch. They then found a loose connection in the wiring (probably knocked out of place when the engine was dropped out) which they f...

Hi, Been reading for a bit about other buzzer of doom problems on here and wondered if anyone could help with mine. I have just had my 1.9 waterboxer dropped out of the van to fix the dreaded snapped stud nut issue (which occured bang on 130,000 miles!!)! Anyway, after a lot of time, money and a lot...

Thanks Billy, I have had a look at the ebay item which may be a runner - is the one you have new or used? Are you looking to sell? If so, how much? I have also been in contact with North West VW who may be able to get me a used one out of one of the vans they have - also, Volkspares are going to get...

Just had two of the studs snap in my 1.9 watercooled engine. It has taken a while but the garage has managed to get them all out but I am now having problems finding a replacement set?? I see VW Heritage are advertising them here - http://www.vwheritage.com/vwh/VW-Camper-Van-Parts/Bus-Parts-1980-91/...

I am just going through the same thing. Two of the studs had snapped and after waiting 5 weeks, the garage finally managed to get all of them out! Now for the re-build. One question though, I am having trouble (and so are the garage) getting hold of a replacement set of studs (4 small, 4 medium and ...

Thanks for all your comments.

Has anyone had an engine off Laurie Petit? I have heard some good things?

Thanks

Hi, I have had a massive failure of my engine which means a hefty £1000 billl to get it fixed. I am considering getting a new engine instead but wonder if anyone know where I can get a brand new (not recon) engine for a 1.9 T25 1990 water cooled van? Most of the ones I have found so far are re-con e...

Guess not then? Has anyone had experience with white wall paint? I am thinking about attempting it myself - is it any good?

Does anyone know if there is a company that paints white wall side walls on to black tyres using a special white wall machine? I know that there is a guy based in Sale that does this butdoes anyone know of someone in the south west that can do this?

Thanks

Steve

OK... so they are off the van - on there way back to just kampers who have agreed to take them back and I am exchanging them for all the other new bits I need for the van!

All turned out in the end and thanks for all your help.

I have seen this company mentioned alot online: http://www.bayarearods.co.uk ...who can smooth the tyre down and add a layer of white rubber. Anyone had any experience of this? They are quoting me £50 to do a whole set which sounds good. I rang the insurance company and they said that as long as we ...
