Looks,good fruitbat. Welding is something that I want to learn in time.

That's looking better Kev, said it would be worth it. Give that area by the barn doors a good clean up as you'll get surface rust from the scuffing of putting things in and out of a work van.

What I thought was a solid van was far from it when I toke the standard floor lining off .
The step area not looking too clever
I had a dig about and a clean up around the area .
Cut out the rot and made some plates up and began welding .
The rest of the floor needs welding too , I’ve ordered a repair panel from vw heritage , I could’ve just plated it but wanted the contour of the floor too match , as luck would have it these are the only holes I could find .
Lots of surface rust by the rear door .
Hopefully more updates during the coming week .

306k,miles...that's mint!!! I've got crazy idea of getting mine up to 500k. But that's all subject to Thursday's diagnoses, as it a bit poorly at the mo.
Cheers.

And is that mileage correct? 306k miles is pretty impressive.

You used to be able to get the brush's and spring's so you should be able to refurb the regulator.....I think.

I looked at the cost of buying a replacement alternator but they are a tad expensive even with returning your old unit.
I trawled the internet for a new regulator , I managed to find a genuine Bosch part for £25 delivered , which I thought was a bargain compared to replacing the unit , I’ll let the pics do the talking .
Not again ! Front end off ,plus the cooling fans to give me more room .
Out with the old in with the new , you can see how worn the brushes are .
New regulator fitted too the alternator .
I started the van up and happy days , good steady voltage at idle.
Best bit ,no battery light ( check out the mileage )
A nice bit of old school mechanics , how many people would have just gone out and bought another alternator ? I’ve managed to fix mine for a fraction of the cost of a recon unit , just for info I did check the alternator bearings aswell.
