[@NickAW72]

I keep coming back to watch this again, such a good guide

[@raymondfoster219]

many thanks, been gazing at my dash making things look complicated. its a nice way to do things mate, in order with advice and authority and really looking forward to doing the reno myself too. and thanks now i have to completely address every aspect of ( behind the dash ), weld up the clutch peddle, re drill, new clevis pin, grease and oil, then im going to cairns to live the life. thanks for your time mate, stay well

Fair play guys, clear as day. Thanks for the videos. Thumbs up!

[@markgutter8443]

Brave man. You have given my confidence to remove my dash. Thanks for sharing.

[@janon2402]

Hi, your videos have been so informative. You go into detail on every step and leave nothing to guess at. I really like how you always include useful tips of what to do while you're already working on something, such as the earth crowns and washer tubes while replacing the heater fan. Question: Have you ever replaced or installed an air conditioning unit in one of these vans? I've noticed the American versions all seem to have air conditioning but the European ones don't. Cheers

[@NickAW72]

Excellent, nicely explained. Your tutorial will give me confidence to do my own, well done Leigh

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Thanks Nick

Really thank you from Italy 🙏

Très joli travail et merci d’avoir pris le temps de filmer tout l’opération. 👍👏

This is an excellent R&R dash tutorial. Fighting with old plastic bits is always a challenge and your efforts with the heat temp slider and its demise was a good example of how things can go. Your step by step was great. Consider different background music although it was better than the hard rock guitar one usually finds. You have done a really great job here of explaining this process. Another excellent CVC content laden video! Liked, Subscribed & Bell is rung! Please keep them coming! A Happy & Healthy New Year! G. in Boston Mass.

Awesome video, so well explained! Thanks a lot

[@josedacostaramos]

Absolutely clear and comprehensive tutorial. Thank you very much.

This is a lot better than the Golf mk1, also sturdier materials. On the golf, it's just pressed wood fibres that are coming apart after time.

[@doonesburyband]

awesome how to. thanks!!

[@douglaswest8751]

Great video. Very helpful

[@keeractor3028]

I really enjoyed your video thanks

[@davidburns5027]

Any tips on removing spade connectors that have that retaining clip? Wires on my Dometic fridge are stupidly short, but I can’t get the buggers off

[@CombeValleyCampers]

There are tools that push the retaining tab down to remove the terminal but if you can get a thin pick tool in there it could do it

[@isaacwallace6783]

My heating now isn’t working, the nob control only has one wire going in but two connectors that don’t have anything connected? Can’t see any wires to plug into them (circular blue connectors)

[@Aircooledbliss]

Thanks man ✌️🧡

[@MikeStaubes]

Thank you, Combe Valley Campers. I don't have a place to do the work so I will take 1984 Transporter Camping Car to mechanic. At least I can check the work. QUESTION: The brake fluid reservoir has leaked all the fluid (on floorboard under clutch/brake pedals). Can it be rebuilt or should I replace pieces under the reservoir? Thanks for the video and wish I lived closer to your garage. Now for next video.

[@sim6699]

Real good video guys. How big a subwoofer will fit into the dashboard or would it rattle the dashboard? I've never removed my dashboard.

[@lukasgarage956]

Not alot of room for a speaker....the dash is metal a subwoofer would just rattle like crazy.

[@oldmanad]

does the dash has to be removed to get at the windscreen wiper motor? have to replace mine but dont want to do this job. i'd have to pay someone to get the dash out!

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Yes the dash would need to be removed. Leigh

[@vanstechcorral]

Crazy how you can swap the dash and swap the serial number too!

[@CombeValleyCampers]

The dash isn't stamped on this model

[@c1tlr340]

You only need to remove the negative terminal BTW

Déjà vu!

thanks , lucky that was so unmolested .. but you've probably seen it all before

[@CombeValleyCampers]

It really is virgin territory. None if those screws had ever been undone

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Rusty death traps.

[@CombeValleyCampers]

This ones not perfect by a long way but rather death trap it is not!

[@sim6699]

@@CombeValleyCampers vintage cars/vans are much better than any modern

[@Helen-gt6nw]

@Neil Aspinall as opposed to nice shiny death traps sold by their millions with brake fails and throttle stuck open issues

[@Neil-Aspinall]

@@Helen-gt6nw Sounds like you've got a grip with a particular van brand, take it up with them.

[@44CT232]

@@sim6699 This is a myth. Modern cars are a lot safer than older ones, as safety tech has come along way over the decades (particularly with Euro NCAP crash testing). However, the VW T3 was a lot safer than most people give it credit for, and VW put a lot of effort into making it as safe as possible for a cab-over style van.
