Hey Ghost, How you get on? I got lucky. I went out and bought new drill bits AND a long enough centre punch to do the job. It was a nightmare trying to get the drill in the back. but I noticed the bolt had turned slightly so I ended up using the end of the drill bit to unscrew it enough for fingers ...

These are the bolts i took out http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy134/veedubair/IMG00034-20100615-0855.jpg This is the bolt that a thought was missing and when i toook this out it doesnt look like there is much of the tip come off the thread http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy134/veedubair/IMG00...

Earlier today i took the driveshaft off and I could see that 3 of the bolts have broken off flush at the back of the wheel. Has anyone had the pleasure of trying to remove these from behind, there is not much space to play with. What did you use? Will i have to try getting to the broken bolts from t...

Well I squeezed under and could see that all the bolts are out, could freely move the joint around. There there is actually one missing. Looks like black grease is everywhere, this another bad sign? What will a need to do about the this grease, where has it come from? http://i785.photobucket.com/alb...

Better late than never. Due to that bad winter we had and then doing 7 day weeks never got round to looking at the van. But now some spare time on my hands and MOT almost up thought that better get the finger out. Just this minute jumped over to the car park and had a quick look underneath just now ...

thanks simon for your time and pics.

Dont suppose you or anyone else knows the breakdown number for glynwood insurance, tried the number off internet 0844 576 0014, its just ringing not sure if thats the right number. may have to jump home look for the paper work.

If it is a 2wd or you have a de-coupler then Just make sure that the outer cv joints are still attached. If they become disconnected a quick look underneath would not pick it up. Happened to me Thought the worst at first. Simon. I've not put the propshaft on so still a 2wd the now. How i check out ...

Alright Aiden, What should i look out for in the linkage and selector? i moved the linkage bar up and down, dont know if your meant to notice excessive play or what? I didnt spend too long under van as idiots where still driving right up behind the van even though i had hazzards on and my legs were ...

My van just broke down. I was sitting at the lights and as they turn green i go into 1st to drive away and i hear a knocking noise and it wouldnt move. When i press the accelerator in first you just hear a knocking noise coming from gearbox. I jumped under to check for anything loose (wishful thiink...

Thanks lads, i have got what i hope is the right part from Justkampers. I may attempt to take off the 20 year old exhaust some time today weather permitting. Other than being careful not to set fire to van when heating the bolts and that up, is there anything i should look out for when trying to tak...
