    Lite steer - Fanbloodytastic !!!!

    What was involved with that, just replacing worn parts on your stock steering? Does your horn work!

    Oil Dipstick

    I have extra oil pipes and coolers in my engine, but regardless of that, does anyone know how many litres of oil is there between the first and second notch on the dipstick?

    Testwood Motors Limited dealer sticker - Southampton

    Can you track down the original owners by doing a Companies House search? If the address is not listed for the Director's, you could use 192.com to track the rest down.

    Speedo needle -3D print them?

    Same here, didn't survive the journey, but I was lead to believe that installing the needle is quite technical, just super glue it, you won't notice.

    Hi help with my 1970 westy

    To clarify I have the whole thing sitting as a spare, but I've just had some back luck with them! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-SVDA-Accuspark-Electronic-Distributor-for-Camper-Van-/170613043945?hash=item27b95472e9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There are threads about a spares...

    Hi help with my 1970 westy

    It might be worth carrying an extra clutch and accelerator cable, fan belt, spark plugs, some carry an extra electric ignition/ rotor arm and a phone number for the RAC.

    Another Dead Accuspark

    I needed to get this back on the road asap, so bought a better coil, the Bosch 00012, the 123RV ignition still coming from The Netherlands, trailered it up to a new garage.

    Another Dead Accuspark

    CSP or Gene Berg Shifter

    I was determined to keep the stock gear shift. I felt that the Gene Berg looked out of place, I know nobody would agree with me! It used to be quite bad when I got the van, replaced any worn parts, a good greasing everywhere and a few miles later it is really smooth.

    Engine bay roof/ceiling Lining boards
