Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
OK, so I pretty much retract what I said last night - apart from the fact that the guy over at 'The Hot Works' is an artist. I just took the van to an MOT test centre..... The van was put up in the air for all to be seen, here is a list of what was found (pictures to follow after I have cooked dinne...

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
Hey Ralf85, I've looked into different ways of getting my money back, but because he isn't a car dealer, there really isn't much I can do. If I took him to a small claims court it is only a civil matter, so even if I win the case it will be a nightmare to move forward, as there are no real consequen...

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
I think the big thing is the original guy didn't know VW's inside and out like the guy over at hot works. So the advice to see a VW specialist really has paid off.

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
Last night Duncan (DSM) recommend that I check out a company called "The Hot Works", based within Hertfordshire. I gave them a ring when I was on my lunch break at work, the guy seemed super knowledgeable and very helpful, he said if I was willing to make the drive over he will have a look...

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
I just rang the seller again, he said he won't offer me a refund, but he will take the van in and carry out all of the required work, I told him (as recommended) that any work he carries out on the van will be inspected by an AA engineer, and that I want him to have a new MOT on the van - which he h...

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
If I got in touch with VOSA do you think it would help my case if I go back to the seller for a refund?

Sorry there are no annotations with the pictures, I don't really know what to say in a technical sense.

Re: New Door Cards
Really pleased I found this post, a friend of mine bought me new speakers for the van, but they are 6" speakers and won't fit.
I am going to have a go at making some new door cards with the step out for the speakers.

Re: Help/Advice needed, van needs £1000 welding done
On Wednesday the van is going up on a ramp, the guy works on the likes of rolls royces etc.. Which is probably why it is so much. The quote of £1000 was a rough guide, as the guy said he couldn't give a true quote without having a proper look from underneath the ramp. On Wednesday I will take some p...
