    JK Insurance - decent price

    I’ve been with just campers for 4 years now. Never paid more than £90 a year for my insurance. The 10% discount on anything from just kampers that you get with the insurance policy is great to have.

    Idling issue

    You said you have broken down the carb and all good. Did you change the gasket on top of the carb? Is it a Solex carb? It could be the float height needs setting correctly.

    Early Bay '72

    Hi Roy, I assume you have a type 1 1600 engine? With the standard mechanical fuel pump? If so this is quite normal. The fuel in the carburettor evaporates over time and as the fuel pump is mechanical it takes a bit of cranking to draw fuel up and fill the float bowl of the carburettor. A fuel...

    Vehicle For Sale 1969 microbus

    It’s a shame to see you are selling it. I guess you decided not to fit the Danbury interior you bought off me last year then. GLWS.

    Change from solex 30 pict 3 to solex 34 pict 3

    Hi, have you got any photos of your current set up? I may be wrong here but I think the 34 pict 3 should bolt straight onto the manifold whereas the 30 pict 3 will have the adapter between it and the manifold. If so you can simply remove the adapter and bolt the 34 pict 3 straight onto the manifold.

    Roof repair section - Heritage

    Looking at that photo, I wouldn’t say you needed any new steel in there. Maybe start by taking the paint and any filler off to see what you have there before committing to new steel. It may all clean up fine and just need a light skim of filler and repaint.

    Parts Wanted Continental Roof Bed wanted

    If you are still looking for one. NLA VW do a kit which is similar to the original continental roof bed but the pillow section is detachable rather than being hinged. I have one in my early westy and it is a great bit of kit. My 2 girls love it.
