Hi Bobby,

You'll need to remove the glove box and the fan resistor is behind it to the top left, it sits in the fan housing if I remember correctly. Mine did the same, took the electrical connector off it and put it back on and it worked fine

Update- having fitted the new selector it appears that the cables also need replacing. So spoke to dealer who wanted £185 for replace mentioned cables. Found a supplier on ebay who sells them at £95. So will fit them when they arrive and hopefully that cures the issue.

Update, had to fit the replacement gearbox sooner than I'd planned as the original 1 got stuck in 3rd gear and if I tried to select another gear it would seize solid!!!

Anyway, replacement gearbox was put in and works great. Only downside now is we then found out the selector at the bottom of the gearstick is seriously worn which means it's very difficult to select 1st and 2nd gears. So new 1 ordered from the dealer at £135, and hopefully that w I'll sort it out.

As luck would have it, I've found a used gearbox exact match for the one that's in that has done 54k for £300 so got that coming for my mechanic to look at to see if it's better than the one that's in there currently.

Just didn't want to run the risk of it going pop on me as use it for work. Dealer wanted £1700 for a reconditioned box as well.

I've not added anything to the gearbox other than the recommended oil. Is it worth putting something in like the moly slip you mentioned vaz?

Issue now sorted. .......found that the pin in the selector spindle had come out, so the spindle doped down which meant I couldn't select any gear other than 3rd and 4th gear. Ended up removing the gearbox completely to resolve the situation.

On the downside, found out that the box had previously been over hauled and not very well by the nasty sounds coming from the box and all the crazy paving effect over the housing. So now on the search for a replacement box, local dealer wants £3500 for a new box ?

Hi Casper, yeah been looking at the Xtrons range and just found the Pumpkins range:

Just trying to find one at the right price that will do everything I want it to, now and perhaps in the future as the role of the van changes.

In the post today arrived the new Xtrons ODB2 bluetooth adapter, so went out to the van and gave it a try. Well it works perfectly 

Here are a few of pictures of it installed and in use:

That's it, gone and purchased the  xtrons ELM327 Bluetooth ODB2 OBDII Car Auto Diagnostic Scanner Scan Tool ON/OFF Switch. Should arrive by Wednesday next week.

I'll upload a couple of pictures when I've got it all setup and working.

Once again Thanks tee-cee 

Hi Haydenw, nice looking van! Yeah them are the windows, did you fit them yourself? If so how easy are they?

Hi Casper: I'll look into the Hammerite smooth. For the other bits I've painted I've used Peugeot Bianca white from good old Halfords and them a clear lacquer which have turned otut OK. Like you say the hammerite will probably provide some protection from stone chips.

Hi Casper: The replacement front bumper is a mixture of colour coded on the top half and the rough plastic on the bottom half, as you might be able to see from the picture below. When I get round to it I'm probably going to do the top half in colour code to the van, and use the same stuff I used on the rear, which is Halfords bumper paint, on the bottom section.

Localfella: That's a nice looking van, and what a bargain on those rear doors! As for side windows, these are the ones I'd go for:

Cost £90 plus fitting etc, but they do look good!

One thing I'm having trouble finding is the front grille, as one side of mine is broken, which measn the section under the headlight doesn't sit flush.
