002 Removing the bulkhead in our Vauxhall Vivaro

[@JohnSmith112358]

Great stuff! Even just the rundown of how many fasteners needed to be removed is such a massive help! Thanks for uploading

[@NomaddUK]

Thank God I didn't have a bulkhead in mine. When in doubt use welly and wallop. Great video pal. Looking forward to more.

[@alasdairpurkis5629]

Haha thanks mate! Yeah a bit of a pain to remove it but overall not too tough! Should be posting a couple more videos soon!

[@renaulttraficconversion]

Thanks for the video, Alasdair. I noticed the panels were drilled and screwed into the vehicle walls. I did not drill a single hole into our van. I used "Nutserts" to use the existing holes in the vehicle.

Great clear video....straight to the point...look forward to following all videos you make. A.N.Other Vivaro owner

Thanks Mark, appreciate the comment, glad you liked it. Making slow progress but expect some new videos in the next couple of weeks. Cheers Al

Handy to see it having a split bulkhead. You get the option of retaining the lower bit for some safety.

[@alasdairpurkis5629]

Heya, yes part of me was tempted to leave the lower section but I am planning on putting a rotating base on the passenger seats eventually, so took the entire lot out, cheers for watching!

[@MonaichFother]

@@alasdairpurkis5629 "a rotating base on the passenger seats" is that possible on the double seat? One of the reasons I am looking at Vivaro/Primastar range of vans is the capability of carrying 3 people upfront, (unlike the Mazda Bongo/ Ford Frieda) but the abiltiy to make the double seat accessible from the living area would be great.

The best way to remove pop rivets is to use a drill bit around 4-5mm (depending on size of rivet) and just drill the head a little bit until the head falls off. The way I learnt during my apprenticeship

[@welshman64]

To get the round bolts off you could have used a mole wrench, locked on then just turn and they will come out. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚙

Thanks for taking the time to show us!

[@daf1238]

Bit of advice for removing rivets - just use a drill with a steel drill bit and drill straight through it

[@natachajones8084]

Love this. Really helpful. Thanks for an honest video :)

[@alasdairpurkis5629]

Thanks Natacha, hope it was helpful!

[@martinkotze7243]

Thanks for sharing. Like your sliding window in the back. Where did you get it?

[@selectivehear3020]

What would you do if the key fob battery died and you got locked in the van? Serious question as I got locked in the back of my work van recently

[@stefanmarinkovic3841]

Isn't there a handle on the inside to open the door?

[@YouTube_Satan]

What did you do, or are you still locked up in your vehicle? I would try to check the user manual..

Thank god it's not welded in ....
