Well after 3 years of ballaches - mainly with the engine and numerous gearboxes, I'm finally finding the love for my van. I've been using it everyday now since the end of June and done nearly 3000 miles. Got a few things to do over winter before it starts getting used for the family camping...

Hi all, Using the van as my daily at the moment but going on a motorway trip on wednesday (about 200 mile round trip) and the weather looks like its going to be Scorchio at about 33 Degrees. Apart from all the usual things like Complete tinware and seals is there anything I can do to keep the...

Hi All. I don't know if anyone can help but I need a good 68-71 Rear gear linkage rod. It the one that connects the coupling and kinks up slightly at the gearbox end. It connects to the front rod with a collar and grubscrew. Must be really good condition. Much appreciated. Cheers Giles

Hi all, Don't suppose anyone of you brilliant people could tell me the right kind of long shift rod (that connects to the front rod with a collar and grub screw) I need for my 1971 (aug 70 build date) bus could you? The one I have is a bit knackered and looks like its been modified slightly...

Hi all, I've got a set of SSP Cosmics for sale. Only been out box once to take photo. I bought these to put on my '71 after it had been lowered but my plans have changed due to being sold a supposedly recon gearbox that would have been more reconditioned if I'd found it in a field and put it...

Hi all, Hope alls good with you. At the Volksworld Show last weekend, there was a guy selling really good westfalia type laminate. I meant to go back and get his details but 3 year old boy was knackered and starting to kick off :roll: so didn't get the chance to go back. Does anyone know the...

Hi all, Right, after buying my 71 camper last year, and having spent more than I thought it would cost to get it running and MOT'd (doesn't it always!) the fact my rebuilt 1641 motor has just seized has pushed me over the edge and me and my bay are not on friendly terms...its been a ballache...

Hi All, After a Wardrobe and top cupboard unit for my 1971 LHD Tintop please - ideally cherry vaneer. Must be in real good condition as I already have one with chipped and missing vaneer. Thanks very much.

Hi there. I'm quite new on here but been sorting out our 71 Camper (Aug 70 build) and running it as a daily but the compressed card sound proofing panel with the circles in above the engine is falling apart. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement anywhere? Also I could do with a new piece...
