Hi, We’ve recently got a 2010 T5.1 LWB that has corroded fuel pipe advisories on its last 3 x MOTs. The parts look to be as follows. As these are advisories I presume ok for now.

Hey guys, in need of some help please before i go mad I have a fault with the wiring to my passenger sliding door (2004 T28 1.9). The door open warning light comes on, meaning the central locking does not lock the door, although it unlocks the door when it has been locked manually.I have investigated the door frame push switch and this is working fine. I now suspect a poor connection somewhere in the wiring. Any help would be greatly appreciated, the warning tone while driving is... Door open warning fault ..read more

Hi everyone. Recently, whilst taking my 3 month old son for a walk, I saw a J Reg T4 on a driveway with a for sale sign and a landline to call. After a few calls I had a good look and decided today to buy it. It’s done 164k, been meticulously looked after by the old retired spark who owned it, and only had the usual rust spots (arches, sills at drain points). Starts first time, new discs, pads, shocks, battery and tyres in last few months. I should be picking it up in the next week. What... What have I done…. T4 ..read more

Hello, I am halfway (hopefully) through the process of removing my Alternator and I have removed my front bumper, which had a Sportline spoiler attached. There are some angled clips that hold the spoiler to the front wheel arches, I have not seen these anywhere else. I have had a quick google, and I can't find anything like them. I have contacted the supplier, but they will be closed until Tuesday, so I just wondered if any had any ideas of what they are called or where to get them. Here is... Where can I get one of these ..read more

Hi all, Took the van out today for the first time in ages and it got very hot. So hot the temp buzzer went off. Managed to get it home and am no mechanic but trying to work out what it might be. I have drained the fluid and taken the thermostat out and its not opening in boiling water so i will change that. Not sure if that would be the cause but the top rad hose was red hot and the bottom one was cold ie not even warm. The rad wasnt warm either and the fans werent cutting in. Could i...

Hi, I would like to move from a rear hinged pop top to a side hinged one. I am struggling to find anyone to take this on as I would like to reuse the existing roof and keep the same "hole" size. I could look to do this myself but would prefer to have a more competent person to do it. Does anyone know of a reputable company who could do this? I realise that this would be a besoke solution as I doubt any existing canvas would fit. If there is no-one who could take this on, does...

2006 T5 panel van with tailgate. The tailgate was working fine, locking / unlocking / opening / closing as it should on central locking. I have never opened / locked it on the key. It now has the issue where it can't be opened from outside on the handle. I have had this before so know where to look and open it from the inside. Sure enough, the cranked rod at the bottom had come out of the lever on the catch. I confirmed that I was able to open the tailgate from the inside, and close it...

Ciao ho avuto un altro problema con il mio multivan. L'ho messo in moto per spostarlo ho fatto 10/15 metri si è spento e ora non parte più. Mi hanno detto che potrebbe essere un problema elettrico.
