Daf cars

[marshall]

Hi everybody, I have just come across this website and forum. My Name is Marshall from North Wales
I served my time as an apprentice working on Daff vehicles and went on to repair and service these for many years afterwards working in my own garage. l There was very little I didn't know about there workings from overhauling the engines on all the Renault 55, 66 Volvo 343 and marathon vehicles and two cylinder 33, ,44 and 46 models. I even had some Dutch customers come over for me to service their vehicles.
If you have any questions only more than welcome to support. I used to repair the primary and secondary units, also fit new diaphragm's and springs to them. I used to reset all the vacuum settings for gear change against the engine RPM. Are spares still available for them or is everything now fabricated
I still have a few tools to remove hubs, belts and I think manuals.

Best wishes to all those who still drive them
Marshall

Hi Marshall and welcome! It's very quiet on here these days but it's still a good resource for Variomatic owners.

Hello,
What a good interesting message!
As Swissdave says, unfortunately it is quiet on here. Sorry to say that these old forum formats have been beaten by Facebook and other services. These boards are a bit "clunky" but at least you can find subjects and archives!

With regards to spares, the DAF Owners Club has access to most - indeed we have first priority for drive belts along with stocks of other essentials. We don't have absolutely everything, and many of us obtain some parts from the Netherlands - dafhobby.com is a good popular source.

As you know there aren't exactly lots of DAFs still around in the UK now, but our little club does its best!

Great post, and glad you popped by. Hopefully one day you might pop over to Princethorpe and introduce yourself, there is always a great selection of cars and owners. I for one would love to chat and pick your brains.
