How do I get the buggers out?

Hi fellas, I really need your help. My stock '71 has a whining noise that increases in pitch and volume as speed increases and is louder with the power on. I've had the box rebuilt, all new cv joints and new wheel bearings all round, none of which has made any difference. Now I'm out of ideas...

I've replaced a brake light switch but there is a tiny bit of weapage now. the bently book mentions a washer/seal but nothing came out with the old one and I don't remember fitting any when I replaced the master cylinder a couple of years ago. At the moment I've put an O ring between the...

I have to change the bearings in the rear wheel. Question is can It be done with the bearing housing still attached to the van? The bently book shows it removed and in a vice. I don't fancy having to undo those rusted up nuts that hold the hub assembly in place if I don't have to. I read...

Please help. I've been working on my van all day and the darn thing won't run. I fitted a different engine today with all the same bits as the old one now it won't run. It starts revs up then dies away, tweek the throttle and id does the same again, leave it and it dies. Also more worrying is...

After getting an advisory free mot for the first time! I get a new and worrying noise. Only apparent in 3rd and 4th there is a whine a bit like you get when reversing. Let off the power and it stops. I’ve read up a bit and in my opinion it is the ring and pinion. Please, any thoughts on...

Can anybody help me identify the source of a noise in my clutch? I recently replaced the drive plate, release bearing and flywheel oil seal because of oil leak, and as night follows day, i now have a dry drive but a worrying noise. It sounds like something scraping and is there when in neutral...

I was given this tow bar with the assurance it came off a bay. but won't fit my '71. what should one for mine look like? (pics appreciated) does this fit an other era van?

What do i use to fill the gaps between panels. I understand that polyurathane filler is the stuff, but can I use silicone? (got some and the right colour)or is that a bad idea for for when I inevitably have to touch up the paint work.

Newbie - Hi folks firstly thanks everyone for all the info in posts i've looked at before joining. I'm looking for photos of splash pans , those dispensible rust traps between rear bumper and body corners. I have some buckled bits of tin that i'd like to bend back to the right shape but i...
