independent garage

Hi all I've recently bought a T6 Camper (Oct last year). I haven't been on this forum since asking lots of silly questions before buying it - and getting lots of useful answers. Thanks all. However, I now have a few things to sort on the van. I have some dreaded faults come up on the dash, and...

JR Volkswagen Centre - Linwood/Elderslie/Paisley - handy for most of west central Scotland I was recommend these guys by the guy that fitted out my van. It's a small specialist garage - nothing fancy - but an absolute gem - the unicorn in fact - the rare, specialist enthusiast, genuine garage...

Hi All, Have given in to my midlife crisis and bought a T6.1 T32 LWB 150p Fortana Red Kombi. Registered Oct 2023. 200 miles on the clock. Have fallen in love all over again! Since it is a year old and even though it has low mileage, I wanted to get it seen so as to keep up with warranty...

Hi can anyone tell me where to get my gearbox sorted? DSG on my 2018 150 is rubbish. Find myself using manual all the time, which obviously defeats the object. Any suggestions Cardiff area.

Some advice and thoughts needed please. My T32 LWB Kombi is coming up to one year old. I bought it new from Heritage in Bristol and was massively underwhelmed by the buying experience with them. I have since heard lots of negatives about their aftercare and service. Should I stick with a main...

Going to give Russell his own thread as he deserves it for outstanding service over the last couple of years. Originally booked in for a service early in 2023 following recommendations in a couple of other threads about garages in the north of Scotland/Highlands. Very good service and extremely...

As per this thread, I got in touch with a mobile auto electrician who knew about this fault. He ended up finding two breaks in the green wire which he cut out and replaced and now all the codes have gone! Happy to have this fixed and even happier I’ve now found a reliable and professional car...
