    @solarrover9575 The R&R bed is from a friend hopefully! I can recommend a place called Keverics in Peterborough there beds are excellent.

    From what ive read the gap is only for dummy windows (not cutting the panel out), if the panel has been cut out the hot air can escape into the van so no pressure can build up causing it to crack 😊

    Jubilee clip worked for years on T4s I've owned, correct way is new pipe but as ever cost a lot. It could be other stuff re gutless, the vacuum pipes are a pain, i replace them with silicon pipes, timing etc could be anything! but when running correctly its still the best van engine out there

Not sure where it's come from. My van only does 30mph uphills!
