Big thanks to Aiden for the part, put it in last night, took the time to grease all the linkage parts too! now it goes into all gears very smoothly! Had to change the plastic ball part too as the old shaft had eaten all the grooves out of that too!

wow thats cheap!!!! I think I will have a used one from you! pm sent

Thanks I'm going to take a good look tomorrow, I can't see it on the heritage site do you know the product number?

Thanks for that, I had thought about welding it, Just a pain if I do need to take it off again! I suppose its not too bad as it would be easy to cut once the gear box was out anyway. Can I get away with a couple of small welds or all the weay round? Ps Aiden where can I get the selector shaft from i...

Hi everyone, had a very eventful trip back from france over the weekend! 200 miles from Calais I got stuck in third gear! I had had this problem before so I knew the ball was popping out of the cup in the linkage. I had only replaced these in the last couple of months including all the bushes too. I...

Thanks for the replies, bit late home from work today so I thought I won't have time to get all the wheels off and re adjust, I'll try bleeding a little did one side fine then snap nipple snaps!!! Lucky it is not leaking at all. I'll try again tomorrow!! Ps yes it was fine before I changed the shoes...

What am I doing wrong! Changed shoes yesterday, wound adjuster to lock the drums then backed it off a little so drum rotates with a slight rubbing noise, did the same both sides. Then pulled the handbrake several times to centre the shoes. Went for a slow drive! Hardly any brake, I had to pump the p...

Right I am about to replace mine and the bush that holds it in place as it keeps popping out and sticking in most gears. I have read you need to put the washers that hold the ball on to the gear selection pin in the right place and in the right order ....which is?

Thanks for the info guys.. Don't suppose any of you know the internal diameter of the washers I need. Otherwise I need to take the bolt out and drain the fluid before I go to work, and I don't fancy that!

Right put the pipe on tonight and I have a leak! It's coming from where the banjo bolts to the pump. Can anyone confirm if there should be any copper washers or not. As mine did not have any when I took it off?

Thanks for the replies, It was the section from the engine bay that had the hole in California Dreamin! All sorted now hydraulic pipe company just made one up for me for £50, better than £180 vw heritage want for it if it was in stock!

Got a leak!!! Small pin hole on the high pressure pipe coming off the pump. Question is can I get a hydraulic pipe company to repair it, using the original fittings, has anyone had this done? As I can't find a new one anywhere

Hi everyone, my van has not had many problems over the years! but yesterday i went out in her and couldn't accelerate, revs woulnt go up and really had to push the pedal to the floor to even move! So i thought the cable must have streched or got snagged on something. I tied the cable taking any slac...

Still not tested to see if its working as I can't get the van up to temp, don't think it's a warm enough day, just get the needle to just below half way but started annoying the neighbors idling over, so gave up!!!!!
