I have an Eriba Puck 2005, and would like to give it a service if possible. Does anybody service their own van? and if so, do I need any special equipment?


Thanks Anthony Boxall

My 2 penneth is you will have to carefull. Servicing the brakes needs specialist knowledge and a thumping big torque wrench. Anything gas needs checking at certain dates for which you may need a qualified engineer. Other concerns need considering eg safe jacking up of the van and the auto reverse brake unlocking.

Anthony you may be lucky. Up until my present van I used to do limited stuff myself. Van was garage stored on axle stands over winter so I would get underneath, do a visual inspection, clean and re-grease where needed, pop the bungs on the back of the brake drums to check for wear, get a then Corgi registered gas plumber friend to check the gas system and that was more or less it.
I was lucky though as in this time my brakes continued to auto adjust, shoes did not need replacing, I had no gas problems and nothing surfaced that I could not repair or fix back in place.
When my van is out of warranty I plan to do this routine every other year, whilst getting the job done professionally the other times. I seem to recall the Jandi dealership did not do a full all singing and dancing service every year on vans out of warranty, but I stand to be corrected.

Thanks for the info Colin. I have found a mobile fitter in my area with good reports of his work, so I will book a service with him.
