Wayne, ford candy white is not the same as vw candy white. Your best bet is to get an aerosol from vw. It's not the cheapest but it'll be the best match possible. It comes with lacquer too.

Rocker gasket and aux belt cost around £15 each, and both are easy DIY jobs mate. HG can be done for reasonable money if you take it to a specialist rather than VW. Certainly not worthy of being scrapped. Even a replacement engine would probably cost less than you'd imagine if you are comfortable doing some/all of the work yourself. Plenty of guides on here and over the web if you can do it over a period of time by yourself, or even rope a mate in. :thumbleft:

Cheeky monkey!

Thanks all! Potentially 6 viewings over the weekend within 12 hours of going live. Should have advertised for more! :lol:

Hi Dave, Friday or Sunday would be best. A couple of people on ebay want to view friday too, although no specific times have been set in stone yet. I'd suggest the earlier the better in case you want it, so I can let them know just in case they have to travel.

Thanks Rob. :thumbleft:

It only illuminates on sidelights Wayne, perfectly normal.

Thanks Chris. Had a couple of bites already! Its probably one of the cheapest VRs for sale at the moment which helps, and price doesn't reflect condition in this case imo. Its a good solid car which is ready to go! Roll up roll up!!!!!!

Its not bad at all Chris! Much better than mine was when I got it! Just needed a little TLC, and lots of hours spent by me to bring it to standard! I'll let it go for what its cost me, which considering the hours I've put into it and the amount of spares I already had which I've not accounted for, means someone will get a real bargain. I'd never make a living out of selling cars I'll tell you!

Here she is for sale. Favorable price for forum members, although I have a lower limit which is what it has cost me to get it ready for sale. Any questions let me know! :thumbleft: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321710999191?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'll go against the grain and say mine was perfectly intact. :thumbleft:

Dubpower were redeveloping their system a while back. Someone on here was testing it, but can't remember who it was. The new one was attempting to be an exact replica of the OE one, although their original was pretty good, just not quite as sideways swept at the tail, and rolled at the end iirc. Worth a call/email to them though I reckon. They're reasonably priced too from what I remember. http://www.dubpower.co.uk/Corrado%20CAT%20back%20x.JPG

Just get a flat bladed Screwdriver and try to leaver it off Wayne. It'll coff off eventually.

Hi Adam, welcome to the forum! First of all, I think with your age it'd be worth checking out insurance as they are high insurance group. Classic policies can be had, but again because of your age, most won't allow it. The 2.0 8v and 1.8 or 2.0 16v would be cheapest for you. Have a look in the wiki section in general for the buying guide, and continue reading posts on here for a while to get a general feeling of what problems can occur. These cars are 20 year + old, so there will be problems. Good luck with your search, and if you do decide to take the plunge, be prepared to travel, and don't be impatient, the right one will come up eventually. :thumbleft:

Doors are the same. Front bumper, lights, grille, bonnet, and wings are different between early and late.

:thumb right:

Thanks Rob! :thumbleft:

Glad you enjoyed it bud, and thank you very much. It drives me round the bend sometimes, and I've thought about throwing the towel in on more than one occasion. But then I look back at it after a good wash and wax, it absolutely never fails to make me smile.

No, stick your head up under the N/S of the front bumper and you should see them. (There are 2).

Horn isn't situated there on the VR6 Wayne. Its down in front of the N/S wheel arch.

Just arrived! Looks great, thanks again for sorting all this out Andy, much appreciated! :thumbleft:

I got the boy his first loop the loop track at Christmas, he loves it!.........................as do I to be honest! :lol: Great collection there, its the best thing about having boys, you can relive your own childhood again!

The rubber band is like a small fan belt. It links the two fans so they should both spin together. It's between the centre of the two.

That's a great gesture, thank you for contacting the forum and donating these. It will certainly benefit the wider community and no doubt keep a few on the road in the process if this happens. :salute: :thumbleft:

Indeed. Could have a "flashback" section in the sprinter!
