    How on earth ...... ?

    .............do I edit the title of my For sale thread ? Have done a search, no results, tried editing it, but it only changes the words in the post, not the title. Also checked the forum help, but nothing in there either.

    R & R bed wood & hinges £45

I had to trim it a little to fit, but it seemed to work well enough, with foam we bought from JK. It's nowhere near as substantial as...

I took the motor off, and looked at the wiring, but couldn't get any joy; even when trying the motor with no load. So, I took...

    Useful seat belt info

    Apologies if this has been posted before, but several of us at School are driving the kids on Friday, and a few questions were asked about seat belt legalities. I found this, and there are a few pertinent sections if you have a camper van, certainly at around questions 15/16 if I remember...

    Spacesaver wheel

    Hi all, simple question. Is there a wheel from a watercooled VW that has the same pcd as a bay, that would give me the opportunity of using a spacesaver for the spare? It's a '72. Cheers, Ivor.
