What parts are you after, Fiat or Hymer?
i have the same vehicle[1996] and being a lhd imported from germany approx 15years ago the chassis number does not show up any info when enquiring for parts at any motor factors or even fiat main dealers. mine [as snowbird has already said] is built on the maxi chassis. something that is worth checking is what chassis payload it has .[not to be confused with the hymer quoted payload]. if you look on the fiat vin plate amongst the vehicle weights you will see a figure of 1.4 or 1.8 this corresponds to 1400kg or 1800kg [carrying capacity]. this info is important to ensure you get the right suspension parts, brake shoes ,cylinders etc . i recently replaced the front suspension on mine[1.8] and although looking visibly the same the 1.4 did in fact have a smaller diameter internal strut. hope this is of some help . regards garry

thanks . for your reply the van vin says 230 BEMBB its driving me mental trying to get parts for this .in the book for type dimentions ect. it says total pay load 3.500.yet on the vin reads 3.400. seems I will have to take the parts of for the serial numbers. as the motorfactors are struggling to find them.thanks for your help rab.sorry for the late reply .i have been away .if i remember correctly the rear wheel bearings are tapered so therfore a little play is normal. my van is on the x230 ducato maxi chassis and it actually shows a payload figure of 1.8 on the fiat vin plate . as for the rear brake cylinders, i think you will find that the bus variant will probably be based on the 1400kg and could therfore have smaller diameter pistons than you require. when i replaced the rear flexi brake pipe on mine it was a case of measuring the existing one and getting one from a brake suppliers as nobody even listed it . i have not had to buy any habitation parts but as has been said previosly there were plenty made, so i am sure a web search will be the answer for any parts you need. good luck .regards garry.
