Hi guys. So I’m looking for a replacement master cylinder for my T2. The bus was built October 1969 and has a master cylinder with two brake pipe connections and two separate electrical switch connections. I’m struggling to find the correct replacement part for this - has anyone replaced this...

I've just received some new silverline main bearings for my first rebuild. One of the dowel pin holes seems to be poorly drilled and is oval meaning it's doesn't sit on the dowel pin securely. I'm going to send them back but what are the best make of bearings for a rebuild? Not sure if this is...

I've fitted a new exhaust to the van. Had achell of a job with those thin metal clamps that connect the exhaust to the heat riser bit. The gap is almost too big for the clamp - does anyone know if you can get wider clamps from anywhere as I think it's blowing a bit. Cheers

Just gone to start the van and.......nothing. Turn the key to first position and the oil and generator lights come on. Turn it to start it and nothing - no starter click, nothing - just a click at the fuse box. Where is the best place to start with this? It was fine and running last weekend...

Can anyone help with this. Filled the van up the other day - first time it's been filled up so high - anyway smell of fuel when going round corners. Looks like some fuel has spilled past the lockable fuel cap somehow so will need a new cap....I think however Behind the fuel flap there is a...

Hi all I need to block up the hole for the carburettor hot air pick up that's n the rear tinware (not the shroud but the tinware itself). Can you buy blanking plates or anything - I've seen the plugs for the shroud but I don't need these - any ideas? This Johnny

Are there any instructions or diagrams of how to fit a metal badge to the front panel. I've got a new metal badge to replace a plastic one that we glued onto the panel - it has 4 pins but how does it fix to the Panel?

I've just fitted a refurbished soles 34 pict 3 carb. When it's running its fine however since fitting it the van is really struggling to start hot or cold - it turns over and over for ages before finally starting - although it feels like it's flooded when it fires - splutters and coughs into...

Okay so I replaced all 4 ball joints just over a year ago - van has been back in for its MOT and one of the rubber boots on the lower ball joint is split already - van has only covered about 200 miles since they were fitted. At this rate they will need renewing at every mot. So I'm wondering is...

My vans just failed its test on "excessive play on inner track rod end". I ordered replacements from heritage which have arrived but they've sent outer track rod ends by mistake and now tell me they don't stock the inners and don't know where to get them. Does anyone know where I can get...

I know this has been posted before but I'm after a bit more information. I've got a solex 34 pict 3 and a standard air filter. Should there be a feed off the fron of the carb into the air cleaner? My air cleaner has a small pipe that looks like it should be connected somewhere (not the oil...

Getting a small oil leak dripping down from either the pulley or the oil pump cover. Haven't tracked it down yet but What sort of seal is there on the crank pulley? Tis Johnny

I know this has probably been asked before but here goes. Standard 1600 twinport, solex 34 carb, vac dizzy, timed at 7.5 btdc, new plugs, new points. When it's cold it drives really well, no hesitation. When it's warmed up and I try to accelerate its as if there is something holding it back...

Just fitted this bit of kit and can't speak highly enough of it. My old linkage meant that I only had about an inch of travel so wasn't getting full throttle. The new kit is brilliant - proper throttle travel and much much more solid pedal. Best bit of kit I've bought for my bus so far.

How do you remove this bloody thing. Mines weeping oil out when it's running - is there a special tool or a way of removing this - a screwdriver doesn't seem up to it as it's bloody big screw head?? I'm hoping some thread seal will help seal it if I can get it out and back in

Done a few hundred miles on a new set of plugs. Those on the right bank (looking from back of bus at engine) are a bit sooty but those on left bank hardly have a mark on them Is the left bank running hotter than the right - how do I rectify this? Its a twinport 1600 :(

Hi Just took my gear stick out to check it over cos it's sloppy - I know you all cry - they all are!! Anyway - is the ball at the end of the gear stick supposed to be a tight fit into the cup of the gear rod linkage? Mine just drops in and out with no resistance although it has some sort of...
