Anyone ever have to get a ecu rebuilt? Who did you use? Ecutesting.com quoting £250+vat .... Pricey.... Its for a Vectra...

Hey folks. The welding on my truck, as you have seen, requires a little bit more professional help. Its simply not safe to drive (Gumtree has a lot to answer for!!) Anyone ever got there truck transported anywhere? I'm hoping it wouldn't be too expensive. Local company is 13 miles from the...

Ok guys, thinking about getting a pro to do all the chassis/mount welding. Quite happy to take on the easy to reach places, but under would be a nightmare!! So, the question is - you've seen the thread and the main issues underneath. What would I expect to pay to get the work done. Getting...

Corroded at the front. Have replace with hose, but was a wee bit quick and remove both pipes at the same time and now don't know which is which :doh You have the pipe attached to the arch (return I guess) or the pipe that goes into the injector pump. There is a top and bottom steel pipe to...

I think I know the answer, but just wanted to be sure before I buy a new battery. I have had the battery out of the car for a month or two. Reading between 12.3 and 12.5 sitting. When I turn the key, nothing. Guessing the battery is goosed, but is there anything else it could be? PS...

Anyone know what these wires are for? I don't think I disconnected them when I disconnected the battery. There doesn't appear to be anything that you can connect them to either.

Anyone got a pic of the rubber wheel arch liner. Took it of and now can't work out how to get it back on...

Very sad tonight. Didn't buy this truck as a project, but turning into that. I'm not confident with my welding skills and tend to have people around me that don't encourage the give it a go attitude...nevertheless, can't afford to get someone to do it and would hate to see the 1500 quid going...

Gonna get me either a 10L or 20L gas bottle 95 argon/5 co. One of those rent free boyo's. We have two suppliers here. Hobbyweld or SGS. Any experience of either? I think the hobbyweld ones come with built in regulator, but have to get a converter.

Anyone got a smart idea to finish off steel braided fuel line. Started off by ordering the wrong size :doh (pipe, clips, p-clips and end-finishers), and want to stop spending money unnecessarily. £4 for 4 wee bits of plastic!!!

I was thinking the other day, as you do! How do people with multiple cars insure their motors. I subscribe to car mechanic and practical classics - and people claim to have 4-5+ cars in their fleet. At £250 per car approx each for insurance (or more), surely they don't insure them...

Off topic slightly, as its for my vectra and not the T2. A small section of fuel line, just in behind of the front wheel arch, is starting to rust and so need to replaced. What are the options for this. I'm thinking of getting a bit of fuel line and replace section with jubilee clips, but was...

Found a bracket on the exhaust, then thin air, and the a bracket on the chassis (don't know if they are connected). What's missing? Anything?

Not much to say. Think it was The Sun! Was checking chassis after hearing the horror stories of the navara, but looks ok - maybe a little bit of surface rust. Are T2 subject to chassis failure? What's the best way to treat the chassis? Remove surface rust, treat and wax? What about inside...

Anyone got one. Just the metal bit, but without the rust!!

I lot of my bolts on the Trunk are original and are starting to round off when I try to remove them, so plan to replace with stainless steel A2 bolts. The question is, what are the most used sizes on it? The amount of screwing that goes on around here I'm sure someone has got a list! :clap

thinking about a wee welding job I need to do around the windscreen. Was thinking about getting a welding blanket. Any recommendations, or suggestions?

Gonna check the airbag connections under seats, passenger and steering, but what do I do to make it safe. Disconnect the battery I believe and lefr for 20 mins??? Got a very dim flashing light...

Have read all the posts on changing out the 1.5 din (with built in hazard switch), with home-made fascia. Question is, will the old single din with hazard light above (i.e. not built into the radio), fit the space? i.e. Will this fascia come out and........... fit this space... Seems like...

Anyone got any recommendation on a good work light, specifically for underneath. I'm lucky to have a double garage, but its light is more like a cave! Was thinking of something like this where you could just push it under where the work was being done...
