T5 California parts and DIY repairs

[bramhuyghe]

Dear,

I have an 2006 california with more than 210.000 km. The California was used for a lot of traveling and will be used for a lot of traveling in the future. But after all these years a lot op parts are wearing. I hope you could help me with some tips and tricks on where i can find all california parts.

Parts:
- Hinges and gas-struts from the kitchen and fridge.
- New rubbers for the rear-seat rails
- Rubber sealing for the sliding door
- New closet doors (the sliding doors)
- ....

DIY
- How to unclog and clean the dirty water-system.
- Taking the roof part (the part that blisters) (I have the opportunity to paint it myself very cheaply)
- Muffler replacement(at some point)

I already fixed the roof leak and the stuck table in the door thanks to this forum!!

Are there sites with all california parts? Are there sites with a lot DIY repairs?

Thanks for the reply's!

Bram

If you are looking for "how to do it" sites then You Tube is your friend. Also the T5 forums are a mine of useful info.

There is another thread that has a link to buy the kitchen hinges direct from Germany. I got 2 for around £25 including postage vs £60 each + postage in the club shop so we'll worth searching for.
