Hi hobbo, great going! Hoping I’ll still have my bus and tinkering with it at 82! Since you have all new fuel pipes it may take a while to get started if the pump has to fill the pipes and carburettor first. Good luck hope it fires up soon.

What a brilliantly clear sky, hope you brought a telescope with you 😁

Varta are great batteries Varta batteries the E25 has 630 cold cranking amps so plenty for winter and importantly the positive pole is on the left front.

Thanks Nigel, the link sadly doesn’t work. My industrial engine had a hand crank and crank pulley, unfortunately it didn’t fit with the engine mount so I let it go.

Hi Craig, Just a thought what happens to me a few years ago. If the issue is the engine just stops running when getting hot i.e. going up hills or on motorway it may be fuel starvation due to the fuel pump rod getting stuck in the plastic guide. I had it where I had to let the engine cool off...

Looking really good! What pipe did you use? The braided lines and connectors look the business! I bought two new brake light switches off C&C in 2013/14 and within a few years of minimal use they burst open leaking lots of brake fluid. Good thing I wasn’t going far on that occasion. Picked up...

Your cockpit looks really great! I like your cup holders, my are they missing when you have a drink…

Was anyone out surfing? Looks a lovely spot to park up and watch the surf. Easy access down to the beach there? Just got back from three weeks near Santander had some good swell roll in during that time, now I’m landlocked again and really missing the ocean…

Aw welcome to bus ownership, congratulations! What a stunning one at that! And lovely empty beaches especially this time of year. Hope you still jump in yourselves 😁 Cheers Andy

Thanks for getting back with your cure as this can help others. Glad you got it sorted. All the best.

There’s a classic car meet in Noja today just east of Santander. Seem to be all vintage VWs and one Chevy truck 😊. Mostly Beetles, several T3s two T2bs and one T2a, a lovely Doka. First meet organised by these guys and seems to be the only all VW meet in Spain. Local group is called Scrap...

Hi @Aquilaboy I’m in northern Spain right now, Noja just east of Santander! I love this coast and have been coming to Costa Verde since my late teenage years. My best buddy has a T3 that we drove down yearly back then. Haven’t taken my bus over yet, but difficult with two wee little ones. We...

Am I right in thinking cylinders 1 & 3 are the front two cylinders on opposite sides of the engine? Is the garage familiar with old VW engines? As part of a tune up wouldn’t they be replacing all these parts? Haven’t had one done on my engine so no idea. As to your questions I’m sure Karlos or...

Found the elusive Idahoan in a Spar 😄

That’s shocking! The suppliers should be made aware so they stop stocking/selling this unsafe fire hazard…
