The owner says,

“This was a safari style bus in the Kalahari and has ten (all original) seats in total, though the rear triple are basically for kids, facing backwards and do clip in and out easily and/or fold up.
It is registered as Congestion Charge Exempt, due to its seating capacity,
and is not subject to LEZ either as some are, this is a great saving in London. Mechanically the van is very sound, it was bought by me from SyncroSpares as it was their show off van and daily runabout. Continue reading →

VW T3/T25/Vanagon Syncro gearbox detective work. Part 3

This is the last in the series covering the aftermath of a serious gearbox failure. In this episode the box is put back together and we get up close and personal with all the parts of a locking differential.

I sincerely hope that none of you ever end up in the situation that brought about the creation of this video series, but if you are unlucky enough to experience something similar then hopefully these movies will at least give you a bit of an insight into what may have gone wrong and what is required to put it right.

VW T3/T25/Vanagon Syncro gearbox detective work. Part 2

Here’s the second episode in the three part series covering the strip and re-build of a VW Transporter Syncro gearbox.
In this edition we get up close and personal with the failure that caused a complete loss of drive in 4th gear. (It’s not pretty….)

Once again thanks to Aidan Talbot for allowing us to film this and broadcast it to the world. It’s an amazing insight into the workings that go on inside a Syncro transmission.
