Replying late, as I just had the same issue.

It's fiddly to remove the glove box lid(I documented how somewhere here in the last few days) but it only took maybe 10 mins, including finding the right Torx bit.

1. I wouldn't call it repairable, but it's bodgeable. I used JB Weld epoxy putty suitable for plastics (because that's what I had) to stick a strip of cloth where the broken 'hinge' had been.

2. I searched high and low, but couldn't find a spare lid. That's why I bodged it :-)

My bodge is holding up so far, but we're being gentle with it

Yes, hydraulic clutch and it's working fine so far.

My problem is reverse only engages by the edge of the teeth, and sometimes it doesn't engage at all. The problem was plain to see when I changed the gear lever gaiter--the lever hits the back of the gear lever console before reverse is properly engaged.

It all works smoothly otherwise, so I just want to adjust it. But sneaking around the web, I see cables with no adjustment!

If I find an answer, I'll come back and comment.

Roops.

Oh yes! I searched for bleed valve, bleed screw, coolant bleed and so on, but I didn't search for "radiator drain cap" because it isn't a cap, and it doesn't drain the radiator :-)

Thanks for the pointer.

You can guess why, yes? It was all clagged up so badly I could hardly SEE the thermostat, until I decided to fix it, so I covered over the fusebox etc., then brushed in Jizer and hosed it down.

Sometimes the old ways are still good :-)

I'm busy un-bodging all the bodges, because we've only had the van a week.

Thermostat was physically broken and sitting crooked in its housing, earth lead was loose on the battery, oil was like treacle, cooling system oily (previous owner seems to have replaced the oil/water heat exchanger recently), oil drain plug badly overtightened... what's next? ;-)
