In search of a reliable supplier of reconditioned manual gearboxes in/near London for my 2004 T5. It's a 5 speed manual transmission. Suggestions gratefully received!

I have one of the last T4s TDI's in London - my much beloved ex AA Euro 3 Kombi van. I bought it in 2008 and chose it as I was aware of the LEZ changes coming in in 2012. Being Euro 3 I could survive... Now though I'm looking at the ULEZ changes from 2019/2021 and wondering if there's any way...

Hey all, I'm really sorry if this has been covered before, I feel like it must be a topic that comes up. In short, I've recently purchased a 1991 T4 westfalia. Absolutely love it, however London does not. I've recently moved to NW London and would love to be able to have it outside the flat...

Hey all, Does anyone know of any good (and not too expensive) workshops/blank spaces in London? Looking to rip out current interior on our T4 SWB and replace it with something less clean cut. Living in a flat means we don't have an ideal workspace as we live on a narrow street. Something basic...

Hi, I've recently bought a T5 and started on a conversion. The guy I bought it from said that it had been broken into via the sliding door handle and as a result he'd had the handle removed and covered over. The van now has no handle on the sliding door. My options are either to attempt to...

Hi I bought a T4 yesterday and I would like to give it a full service. I lack the Equipment / Knowhow (just now) to do it myself. I live in West London can anybody recommend a good mechanic / garage? Also when I bought it, for some reason the rear and the rear only has been lowered. I have...

Hi All. I'm totally new to this and about to demonstrate some possible rookie failings?! Just picked up a T5 LWB Shuttle conversion bought from eBay. I may be about to learn some lessons the hard way. There seem to be more 'issues' with it than were listed - and I need to urgently get a view...

Hello, I'm new here so apologies for asking anything daft. Me and the Mrs are in the market for our first camper, I've always had a soft spot for the T4 so am thinking this is the way to go. We're after something that has been converted already as we don't have the space/time to carryout the...

Hey guys, I just got myself a VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T4 CAMPER 2000. It has a pop top! But the back is completely empty with a lino flooring. I wanted to get it converted but i have no idea where to start. Looking for a cheap(ish) place in London that can do the conversion for me. Just...

After a several weeks unsuccessfully trying to find a T5 camper to buy we've decided to look into buying a van and getting it converted ourselves. Can anyone suggest converters to look at within an hour of Twickenham? We're looking for the standard side kitchen and pop top roof. There seem to...

Hi I'm thinking of putting a Westdubs poptop on my T5. I didn't think I could afford a poptop at this stage, but I'm blown away by the price of westdubs and he seems to have lots of good reviews here. Is there anyone in London who has had a Westdubs roof fitted and wouldn't mind if I pop over...

I'm off to Wembley on Friday and wondered if anyone knew of anywhere suitable to park/camp? Cheers

hey dudes, really chuffed to have bought my first t4, a fantastic conversion, totally stoked. I'm not at all mechanically minded though, and would really like it checked over by a mechanic who I'd hope to stay with for servicing etc - can anyone recommend anyone in north london? My mate with 2...

Hello As per this thread I have been mooching about with my van and I feel that there is something amiss. I really need to hook it up to VAGCOM / VCDS and get it looked at, is there anyone in the London, Essex, Herts areas that can help? It would also be good to have a 2.5 TDI 102 owner drive...

Hey there, My gearbox went last week and i'm looking for a reconditioned replacement. Has anyone used Volkswagenspares.com for parts and labour?
