Mainly between st Ives and newquay, with a day or two at Sennen and the Lizard. Ok, all over most probably 😂

Anyone else down in the county on holiday in their bus over the next two weeks?

So it’s bothered me for years what the black knob is on the inside of the hatch lock on my ‘70 Westy, it doesn’t turn slide or pull so tonight I got around to investigating…. After a degrease and a soaking in WD40 I worked out that when the door latch is shut the knob slides up and down ]...

Then I guess mine must be o_O

That'll be Nick & Claire :LOL:

I don't have any experience with this garage so can't offer any advise but we Bristol people use CJ Motors who is an expert with the old air cooled motors and will always tell you straight what is needed and what is not! But in all fairness its well worth doing the oil change yourself and...

Had a gear selection issue over the last couple of years, nothing major but the selector was hesitant in getting into 2nd whereas it was always perfect over the years. Now I had a Gene Berg with the Corvair motor and the 6Rib box but it became rattley over time due to a vibration that I couldn’t...

Ok. Fixed this earlier, stripped it down and degreased everything, bolted it back together and all good

I found these nuts with a double washer, the washers have grooves machined in them so the lock together and one is welded to the nut, these combined with loctite means they never moved again

My Westy windows do not leak or rattle in fairness, I use them open when travelling and as Wig says they are much more secure than a sliding window, just that it takes ages to wind the handle to open them.

6th - 8th September https://busfest.org/ There is an Earlybay line up on the Saturday, who's going or interested and maybe we can all get together

I had a sliding window in my first bus and I miss it, the Westy Jalousie windows are a faff to open and you definitely can't pass a beer through it :confused:

Hey Lucy! Your bus and bell-tent setup was impressive and so was your drinking skills around the fire haha! Nice to meet you both this weekend :cool:

I haven't had an MOT for a few years now, I check my bus regularly, and don't cover that many miles in it in all fairness so the likelihood of anything changing over a 12 month period that will be a safety concern is unlikely. That said I've owned my bus for 17 years and have...

Hi all, I noticed this weekend that I can now slip into reverse when looking for 2nd gear and the lock out is no longer stopping this happening. I can find all gears absolutely fine and I did adjust the gear plate (at the bottom of the gear stick) last week and I'm sure it was fine before....any...

60mph and less stressful in my view 😎

Also if its been sat standing and was fine before I would suspect a gummed up carb/blocked jet

Nice to meet you pal, and loved the car too (y)

Welcome to Earlybay, if you haven't already start a thread in the gallery and post up some pictures for us all to see. Love that you'll happily drive the width of the country in it too! Enjoy the journey of owning such a great bus :cool:
