does anyone know of a filler or some kind of repair to use on a damaged wood wall

help

Hi. You dont say how big the dent is, if it is only a small one try finding some wood of the same kind, ie colour, then saw this up to create sawdust, collect the sawdust and mix it with wood glue thus making a paste and use this as filler.

The wood glue dries almost clear and so the colour match is not far off. I used Evo-Stick wood glue on a door and you can hardly notice the repair.

as the van is only a week old iam hoping the dealer can sort it

out under warrenty.

The other way for small dents is coloured wax as used in kitchen fitting.

Decades ago when doing cabinet making `A` level at school, we were shown how to use a damp cloth and steam iron to lift dents in wood.

Yes, it worked but some repolishing was required afterwards.

Neil,

the method that Angus proposes works! but don't be to enthusiastic with the heat, alternatively, if the surface is horizontal, a hot dish cloth will also work
