Had a call from the garage last night and the brakes do need parts, final quote £578 :shock: :shock: :shock: Bugger :( I'm trying to tell myself that if I had a normal, boring, modern car that it'd probably have cost a lot more :lol:

I'm with Footman James as well, and I've renewed for this year. The renewal quote came back £5 cheaper than last year :shock: I think I am the only person in the world whos insurance is going down :D

Mine was yesterday and it failed :( :( :( :( Still, only some minor work on the suspension (requiring parts) and brakes (not requiring parts apparently), nothing structural (and too expensive) the garage reckon about £400 to sort. Not as bad as I feared but worse than I'd hoped

The ones it came with! Would the type of tyres make a difference?

My speedo always has run about 10-15 mph faster than the actual speed (I thought I was going a bit slow and borrowed a mates sat nav which measured the speed). I'm really not sure what would cause this but I just like to think that the bus is being optimistic :lol:

I'm after a new front panel as mine will probably need at least partly replacing soon (dreaded under windscreen rust) I know I can get the new ones from JK or VW Heritage but I want to avoid having to get a new panel cut to bits to weld replacement metal in. So if anyone know of a reasonably...

It's your bus! Do you really want to worry about whether you will get a better price when you sell it with a complete interior? Or do you want to enjoy the bus itself? I was a little concerned about removing the unit (apart from the hole in the floor it left :roll: ) cos I wanted the bus to...

We've taken out the sink/fridge unit as it was getting in the way when getting up in the morning :D It's being sold and possibly replaced with a smaller unit (I've seen someone who adapted a Moonraker wardrobe which looked quite nice) The extra space is lovely though!

Not yet, the 4th handle broke on the way to work this morning and I don't have any lubricant handy :lol: I'll give it a go, but can anyone recommend some hard wearing handles?

I've now been through 4 handles since Feb last year (Cheap GSF ones, I guess you get what you pay for). Strangely it only seems to be the drivers side one that goes and I'm wondering whether there is a problem with the winder mechanism. It definitely feels tougher to wind the driver side than...

Both me and the missus are getting very fed up of our louvre windows rattling when driving (despite them being as tightly closed as possible). I'm thinking of various things to sort them out but was wondering if anyone knew how easy it would be to take them out completely and replace them with...

Well the bulb is out now, so at least I don't have to worry about the battery being drained (very, very slowly :) ) Just gonna have to work out why it was happening now, that's a job for the weekend!

From the last time I was looking at the electrics that looks about right :D I've got a lunch break at work and a phillips head screwdriver in the glove compartment, I'll have to see what I can do :?

I've got a sink/fridge unit going begging at the moment, no photo's at the moment but I could probably get some on here tomorrow for you to have a look at......

Can anyone suggest a good link to show what I can expect to see when iI remove the gauge cluster?

When I turn on my side lights I get the usual green light on the dash, this goes off when I click further. I've never had a blue light for main beam (I know I need to get that sorted). However this evening when I turned the lights off I still have a green light on the dash?? The lights are...

moral issues aside, you are unlikely to be entitled to a replacement after a 2 year period of use (no matter how many times you have actually used it) try speaking to a supervisor and see if they can offer a gesture of goodwill (try pushing for a discount on a new one, in my experience...

My bus certainly doesn't ever seem to have had a steering lock?

I'm waiting on a rough quote to sort it out now, I guess I was fooling myself I thinking it wasn't that bad :( Ah well, at least once it's done it'll be one more job sorted, just gotta sort the bloody roof out now!

I'm attaching some photo's (apologies for the poor quality) What do you all think, how bad is it?
