Fair play for showing it as it is, and all the parts that didn't go to plan, but at least you got there in the end 👏👍👌 Bit of a pain no fuel gauge. I'm looking forward to the next part 😉
Fair play to you getting this done without a ramp I struggled with the front shocks on my own van using the ramp With the ball joints use a screw driver through the ball joint hole into the hub hole and over it until that side lines up put the bolt in then do the other bolt makes it much easier. Any more knocks you get on the front will 100% be the drop links. Amazed you got them undone as well I normally cut them off as I have had to work in that area a couple Of times and they are not easy.
Instrument cluster issues are a pain. i used to have a 2009 ford focus zetec S with the 1.8TDCI engine. 3 days after id bought it the car was dead, couldnt crank it at all. i knew though that a common fault is for the solder points on the back of the cluster tend to break and cause non-starting or intermittent cluster issues. so yeah ive kinda been there myself with a similar thing. if the code says cluster it almost certainly is in the cluster because codes point techniciations in the right direction. if it was fuel sender it would be a code for the fuel sender. i think you already know that though and of course you already know the known wiring issue so it all fits. good luck with it as always, glad your getting there with the van too
As soon as i started watching this i was hoping you would do the front first. Horrible job to do. Compressing the front springs with a pair of them dodgy spring clamps may have helped slightly rather than dropping the hub off. Suprising how much weight you have to move around. Full respect for doing it on the deck though
Maybe contact total tronics see if this is something he can replace he does vag clusters, fixed all the dead leds/ broken solder joints in my cluster but he fixes other stuff too
Have seen you at Donington. You ware filming car in the pit lane right at front of me and then you ware on the pit wall. I was with one of 116Trophy teams so no time to have a chat - maybe next time.

Thank for showing the video of me repairing the cluster, if you need any help let me know.
Adjuster goes to the top on a Transporter and there should be a rubber bush that the spring sits on when on arm

Working outside isn’t so bad when you do it all the time 💪🏻 good to see you back after a short break 👍🏼

Those strut in hub set ups are absolute arse been in that situation before, well done on getting it there.
Yes!! He's back

The rears are easy to fit if you have both sides off the ground and unbolt the anti roll bar
Brilliant video lee
Lee you can buy a 1/2 drive socket to open the gap on the strut just put it in the gap and turn 90 degrees😅😅

I live in Middlesbrough and wish i new you were coming would have come and said helo
If you want the front lower do a hub mod 57mm hole saw and relocate the brake pipe bracket 😉
There should be a rubber cup that locates on the rear arms that the spring sits in
Yeah I noticed that missing too
Fuel level sensors in the tank and got to drop the tank to get at jt but you've probably already realised that 😉
m8 i am the same as you but trying to do so called easy upgrades on a mountain bike haha a had to bye the special tools in the end
This is peak Lee Lockwood content
Sweet, I actually want this been checking it daily on marketplace, see the robin went straight away trying to save up some pennies 😊
get it bought!
@@itsleelockwooddid you sell the 3 wheeler
Eibach springs are sick man 👌🏻quality ride 😜
The adjuster on the rear coilovers should have been on the top, its a thing on transporters
Shorted the clocks out and melted a solder on the back of the clocks
I nearly commented about that RMS video when you were talking about the fuel gauge 😂
Maybe contact total tronics see if this is something he can replace he does vag clusters, fixed all the dead leds/ broken solder joints in my cluster but he fixes other stuff too
That rear adjuster should have been at the top of the
Top mount
I was thinking of doing mine but f@ck that ,pmsl 🤣 😂
About time where you bin
Have seen you at Donington. You ware filming car in the pit lane right at front of me and then you ware on the pit wall. I was with one of 116Trophy teams so no time to have a chat - maybe next time.
Another Great Content ever 👌
Why didn’t you try putting the strut in then push the hub down to get in under the arch then up into place ?
Won’t fit, not enough room
I was wondering where you was
Call off the search boys!! 😆
hahahah im alive!
hahaha and thats why ive only ever had one VAG group car
love the video once i was settled lol
What is he missing off the top of the suspension ?😂

I cant believe its bene 3 weeks haha!
No matter what lowering springs you fit to a big van it’s always gonna drive like shit just leave it standard
