    Vacuum or non vacuum advanced ?

    Hey folks. What's everyone's thoughts on vacuum distributors ? I dont have one on my 1600 and she runs ok with non, well i think she does. I know there is less heat etc with vacuum but i cant help think would she run better with vacuum. Ichanged to electronic ignition too so not sure if that...

    Feeling underpowered.

    Cheers for the replies so far folks. Well before work today. I had a potter around and just let her run. Strangely on the carb i took the left pipe i blocked off because it thought the bung was missing and really oddly she ran better. There were a few tiny pops but when she warmed up she ran...

    Leisure electrics part 2.

    Totally true Ozzie. Thats a good idea too dude. Well im thinking well now im thinking is that with 2 boxes you can keep the food etc that you would use over time in the one keeping them cool more because you dont have to open it often and the other box keeping the immediate drinks, food etc you...

    Feeling underpowered.

    Hey folks. Took my bus to work today and shes feeling like shes lacking in power and sluggish. Slow off a roundabout too. The engine runs fine but she feels like shes a 1200 as opposed to a 1600 and going up the hill the engine was revving but there was no "normal power" if that makes sense. She...

    The Sums just don't add up

    I know what you mean. I think alot of folks love to own one because they are an iconic vehicle and always will be and think yeah lets get one especially this time of year when in reality if they do buy one its just too much for them if things go wrong and dont have the patience, know how etc. i...

    Leisure electrics part 2.

    This is strange.

    @Coda its the bus in the attachments dude.. @sparkywig you got it. I wonder why though. Its seems some did and some didn't back in the day. Like the Auf Weidersehen Pet brown bay. Im sure that was the registered plate. @YellowBay69 i never play that. Honest. 😗😆😁.

    Looking for our old family 1968 VW Camper

    Good luck with the search Aimsz. I hope you can find the bus. There is a page on fb called "wheres my dub now" it might be worth asking on there. Theres another page similar too but cant remember the name of it 😕 🤙 .

    We’re rich rich rich! (At least, on paper)

    This is really cool. I bought mine 23:years ago for £1100 ha. She needed a full resto though but i could never let he go to the scrap yard. She was on her last legs and my heart strings were pulled heavily so she had to be mine regardless. Trouble is my bus will never be for sale for as long as...

    Does this look right ?

    Hey folks. Well i had toi block off both the tubes now properly because the right pipe rubber bung completely fell apart and half of it was missing and causing the engine to not run right. No backfires after a run and rev etc and touch wood she's running good. 🙂🤙.

    Does this look right ?

    Hey @thejinx cheers for the reply. Well i had a brainwave and i looked at old photos of my engine and blew up the pic and it is definately blocked off.

    Does this look right ?

    Hey folks. Looking at my carb. Should the left pipe coming out of the carb be blocked off too ? I put my finger over it and revs drop and then back up Total brain fuzz today. Plus I got a bit of backfire too. What do we think ? Cheers.
