Not as such no..but I'm a local (kendal) lad and remember these vans when I was young at Ambleside..I also have a set of studded tyres from one of the vans...that's about all really..just an enthusiast I guess!

What are the chances of you having some old photos of my van? I always think it has some good karma from its previous life. :ok

Yeah....me too.
Someone told me a while ago that it can't/shouldn't be done without the proper test equipment and it's best left to the professionals. Apparently anyone who tries is a fool as it's just guesswork, getting it wrong could wreck your transmission, plates must be replaced, nobody knows the fluid's secret formula, must be done by a grumpy Swiss bloke etc etc...

But hang on - there's already a video...HERE

I keep a bottle of dimethicone on the shelf.

Mikes a good man, at syncro25 I stood next to him when he sold a set of VGC syncro 16 arches.. asking price was 750 EUR if I remember correctly. My Dutch isn't that good but I think they went for something near that !
