Sorry should have given more information, it is the rivets on the hinges that connect the roof to the body there does not appear to be any rust on the body at this point just no rivets, I will get a picture tomorrow if it isn't raining.

Hi, I have a problem with the roof on my 1980 Devon, the rivets that hold the roof on have snapped at the front which made the roof collapse, I had to strap the roof down with surfboard straps and take a very slow drive back from Cornwall, what I would like to know is - Is this a common problem? And...

I have been trying to work out the best way to do this for ages, I couldn't think of anyway of removing old carpet, how are you going to fix the "crazy fur" to the roof?

I am sure as long as the skylight is still there that there will not be a problem with ventilation.

I have exactly the same problem, what is the best way of replacing the roof carpet, do you have to remove the original or can you just put new carpet over the top of the old, and how would you fix/glue it?

I have had the van retested at a different Test station and they failed it on different things. Worn Bushes No Fog light Missing end bumper caps (Sharp metal) minor welding I have left it at garage as they are going to do all repairs to get it through MOT, they have told me it will be ready Friday w...

I have taken it to a friend of a friend to look at it for me, he had a quick look and said that it should not have failed either. He is going to look at the problems anyway and will give me a price on replacing the rusty bits with repair panels so that I can get the van resprayed and looking good ag...

Here are some links to pictures of the problems, I have taken the van to another garage for a second opinion http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/rhoop20/?action=view&current=DSC00307.jpg http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll190/rhoop20/?action=view&current=DSC00308.jpg http://s288.photo...

Thanks for all your advice, personally I don't think that the rust is that bad and I have a feeling that the garage might be trying it on, I had my suspicions that they were creating work when my wife took her car to be mot'd there last time. I will take some pictures tonight when I get in and post ...

It is a 1980, I have looked at JustKampers but I can't find the Offside Inner sill.

Hi, Just had my van fail it's MOT on rust in the following places Offside Outer Sill Offside Inner Sill Jacking Points Offside and Nearside door step I have had spoken to Schofields and they can supply all repair panels except the inner sill, does anyone have any ideas where I can get one? Garage we...

Phew I am glad I don't have a "buzzer of doom" I have been getting a bit paranoid about it, I will have a look this evening for the relay.

No you can't hear it outside, No it is quick ticking. It is quite loud as well It does do it occasionaly when driving, but I never have my foot off of the Gas except when changing gear, I could try this tonight though. I have heard about the "Buzzer of Doom" and I am concerned that it is t...

Ok Thanks, any idea why it would do this?

Sorry,

Passanger side of Cab and it sounds mechanical to me.

Hi,

Just wondering sometimes when I start my 1980 Aircooled T25 there is a ticking sound that comes from somewhere over the passengers side that is quite noisy but stops when I put my foot on the accelerator, can anyone tell me what this is and should I be worried about it.

Thanks

Rob.
