Hey guys, anyone had the same issue or know how to fix this one? I can only get my tailgate to catch shut by really slamming it hard - I've tried removing some of the rubber seal (just a top layer of it) and moving the striker plate out as far as possible but no joy. Probably a simple fix but...

Hey guys, I've got a spare TMI quarter panel for an early bay, it's the driver's side on a RHD bay, so fits opposite the sliding door to the rear. It's brand new and I'm looking for £20 plus £12 postage to the UK. Cheers JB...

Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice on interior panels - door panels etc. Tmi and Newton both look good online but i can't get to see any in the flesh - can anyone recommend either brand or an alternative? I'm looking for a stock look replacement set. Cheers JB

Hi all, has anyone replaced the door cards in their Dormobile? I'm trying to find out if TMI rear quarter panels fit at the back - I know it would only be on one side. The panel I have in place at the moment looks like a standard rear quarter but with an extra strip of panelling underneath the...

Hi all, So I've tried to fit a dormy canopy once and made a bit of a mess, cutting it too short rendering the shiny new vinyl useless :( Following a long period of mourning, I've now bought a new new one (pricey...) and I'd like to get it right this time :) I have the instructions from...

Hi all, annoyingly I think I need to start again with my replacement candy canopy for Poppy. Does anyone have an unused - brand new red candy stripe canopy they don't want - before I go back to Dormobile? Cheers JB

Hi all, I reckon this is a common problem but hopefully someone knows a fix! My '71 Dormy's sliding door (RHD) keeps falling off when I open or close it. I've replaced the main hinge mechanism and the plastic block seems fine, now the door seems to pull out from the bottom roller. Any ideas? JB

Hi all, Anyone have or know where I can get the metal screw support clips that enable you to screw the front grill onto the bodywork? Also the rectangular spacers that sit in the plastic mesh behind the grille - recangular with a screw hole in the middle? Basically, the fittings you need to...

Hi guys, the bus won't be ready for the festival so I'm selling my tickets. This is for Le Mans later this month, tickets are for an air cooled vehicle plus driver and passenger. Cost 85 Euros and I'm selling for £50. They're printed onto paper so you'll get a hard copy posted to you, not...

Hi all, Anyone got a really good rear apron for sale? Already got two and looking for something a bit better. Cheers JB

Hi all, as it says really, there's a company in the US stocking these for splits but has anyone come across someone who does these for early bays? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-TYPE-2-BUS-1959-1965-REAR-ENGINE-COMPARTMENT-APRON-KOMBI-SAMBA-TRANSPORTER-/141176721338?hash=item20dec9cfba&vxp=mtr"...

Hi all, ok so I've got the Dormy roof off (they are bloody heavy!) and it's sound but the strip of metal that runs the length of it which provides support for the hinges to be screwed into is pretty rusty. This is fibreglassed into the roof so I imagine it's a bitch to replace - just wondering...

Hi all, I'm looking for some opening quarterlights (ideally complete) for my '71. They need to be in good condition. Anyone have any? Cheers JB

Hi all, Finally getting round to doing a bit of work on the Dormy. Keen on taking the roof off to get a better paint job and also to paint the roof itself and wondering if anyone's done it (I'm sure they have) and what problems they came accross - I imagine it's an unweildy heavy thing, is it a...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has lowered a Dormy, they are quite a bit heavier than a tintop due to the belly pans and rather large amount of strengthening metal around the pop top which apparently is heavier than Westys and other conversions, with the possible exception of the Vikings...

Hi all, I'm looking to put some different interior panels in my '71 Dormy. The original panels have been replaced with tan coloured items which are fine but they aren't pressed the same as original ones and have those screws with chrome caps on, again, not an original look. I was wondering...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a spare red/yellow tartan nylon hammock for my '71 dormy. Don't need the mechanism, just the material as one of mine has a few holes. One of these went on eBay the other day but I rforgot to bid on it, doh... Cheers, JB

Ok, so, my JK car cover has given up the ghost, my Dormy roof bolts started wearing it, then the seagulls attacked it before blackbirds began taking strips off it for their nests (the little darlings). The storm force ones look good but don't have the zips - anyone got any reconmendations...

Hi all, Anyone recommend a good parcel shelf? KK and CC do them I know but I was wondering which is best in terms of fit, build quality etc. Cheers JB

Does anyone have any Hubcaps for sale? I'm looking for decent quality as I've had some shockers from ebay in the past! Failing that, where is best to get them from? Cheers JB
