Just been out in the van and having trouble engaging 1st/2nd, not there this morning, theres a definate clunk as I move the stick in neutral left to the 1/2 gate. Once crossed over the "clunk" its fine. What do you think? Changed all the bushes 3-4 years ago. Cannot get under atm, well parts of me can. Which selector bush needs looking at?

Do they engage easier if you push the shifter down to miss the reverse gate, if so it might just want adjusting? For bushes, I’d start with 41, 42,45, 55 and then check the locking nut and bolt of the shaft (item 20).
If they were replaced with cheap shit eBay bush kits then I’ve had hit and miss success with these. Had a few fail very rapidly (within months and the work van one was weeks, item 45 specifically) yet the set on the camper has been done for 3 years nearly and it’s still fine.

Had time to ponder , I wonder whether the fact I've left the van in gear on a fairly steep slope for 18 months with little use has compressed a bush or broken one.
I might just replace the three recomended on the gearbox shift lever as a matter of course.

Spotted these in an auction recently and took a punt. A quantity of old Compaq TC1000 / TC1100 20 year old XP Tablets (the licenses were hidden under the 30GB disk drive), £20k a piece back in their launch day! Fantastic quality. Batteries charged and hold. I thought ideal for vagcom / diagnostics machines. Bought a cheap ebay kkl cable and got it all running this morning. Had to find a suitable charger and upgrade the memory to 764MB, lol!
Diagnostics on the cheap.
TC1000 Tablet £20.00
512MB from old laptop
PSU Adaptor from an.old laptop
AAA Pen Battery £0.40
KKL Cable £4.80
Old tech ain't dead.

Found a replacement Golf Mk4 black bonnet (mine had been vandalised whilst I lent it to a mate) FBMP and local for £15, so after washing that down first thing to assess it in the light, I treated the van to some Simonoz soapy water. The pink (paprika red colour code) paint still remains faded and scarred after 20 years.
Booked IT into a mates garage for two hours on one of the ramps to get the gear linkage sorted and will try to fit the front and rear V6 brake sets at the same time plus tweak the rear suspension ride height - easy with a set of Kevs rear adjusters.
