Hi mate, its a 1985 van (B reg)

My doors been a bit stiff at the best of times! Anyhow the bloody handle snapped off and sliced right through my finger joint which was/is painful...particularly as I'm a bass player too! Sooooo, where can i get a new/second hand one (Normal RHD T25 with sliding door on the nearside) and is it easy ...

Hi, does anyone know of any mechanics in the Plymouth area that are knowledgeable around T25's. My camper would not start after i stopped in a queue waiting to board a short crossing ferry.
