			Anything branded "Vetech" is to be avoided.
			Anything with "7RL" after the part number is to be avoided.
			Anything made by "Topran" or "HansPreis" is to be judged on it's merits, Some is "pooh", some is so so but at the cheaper end.
			Febi - good and bad, some really good, some so so.
			Meyle - again, some is excellent, some is dubious
			JP Group - "Mechanix" "Eletrix" "Brax" etc again, just another reboxer of budget stuff, they make parts a lot of people don't so your knackered really if you need something only they supply, I don't think we have any of it on the shelf, I don't like it.

	Brake pads - whilst many cheaper alternatives work - Genuine VW really work better, so if it matters at least get your pads and shoes from VW.		Brake pads - whilst many cheaper alternatives work - Genuine VW really work better, so if it matters at least get your pads and shoes from VW.

			Rear wheel bearings - GSF have been selling really duff ones lately - Don't buy them, last 3 months or less.. Brickwerks sells good ones

	~~'''phade'''~~

	~~Get the original rocker cover. You can get the original one from VW Classicparts Centre in Wolfsburg (part of VAG).~~

	~~Thier website is http://www.vw-classicparts.de/~~

	~~VAG Part Numbers (required):-~~

	~~Rocker Cover: 021 101 471~~

	~~Rocker Cover Gaskets: 021 101 481~~

	~~These covers are fairly cheap and are worth the money.~~

	~~To order them, go to thier website then do the following:-~~

	~~- Click on Aktionsangebot~~

	- Ring them up on the phone number shown on that page. This will create a new customer number for you. You can then email them with your credit/debit card details. Make absolutely certain that there are no viruses nor spyware on your computer before you do this !!

	~~- The parts should then arrive in approximately 10 days or less. The customer number will appear on the invoice (where it says Kundenummer).~~

	~~If you need to order any parts from them on future orders then do the following:-~~

	~~- Go into the website http://www.vw-classicparts.de/~~

	~~- Click on Verfügbarkeitsabfrage (availability question)~~

	~~- A new window (or tab if you are using Firefox) will now appear~~

	~~- Click on the Verfügbarkeitsabfrage starten! button~~

	~~- Type in the part number without the space in the Teilenummer (part number) text box~~

	~~- Click on the finden! button~~

	~~- A list will now appear. Green means in stock, yellow means in stock outside Wolfsburg and red means unavailable~~

	~~- Type in the Menge text box the number of items you want~~

	~~- Click on Positionen uebernehmen (places the parts in your shopping basket)~~

	~~When you have finished adding items to your shopping basket then click on the Anfrage bearbeiten (ask them about availabilty and for a qoute on how much they will cost).~~

	~~They will them email you back with a PDF file and if you wish to go ahead with the order, then you will need to reply back (to the email address who sent you the qoute) with your full payment details.~~

	~~'''and Phade added'''~~

	Just to clarify, VW Classic Parts Centre (www.vw-classicparts.de) is actually VAG (Volkswagen A.G.) in Wolfsburg which is part of the main VW "factory" area, which in nearly every case is a lot better than any VAG dealer in the U.K.

	~~You can very easily get parts from them, especially when you use ETKA or ETOS to get the part numbers. This will be a very usefull piece to everyone who is struggling to get bits for thier van.~~

	Another note on the type 2 T3, a few of the parts sadly cannot be found on www.vw-classicparts.de and has to be ordered from South Africa via www.thebusdepot.com, which is based in Blaine, Washington (USA).

	~~Thankyou for putting my post in the Wiki~~
