    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    🙈 I know Mike, genuine schoolboy error, and after spending all that time on the front end too 🤣. I had a serious word with myself and as a punishment have been rolling around under the van this afternoon fitting a new accelerator cable 👍

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    Winnie passed 👍 … after I’d been home and adjusted the rear shoes 🤣🙈. That’s why it’s good to get it on the rollers I guess. No other advisories, happy days 👍

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    Early start for Winnie’s MOT tomorrow down at Wilson’s Garage in Rhuddlan. Great place, real old school VW Mechanics. Did an oil change, so thought I’d check the sender as I was seeing too great a difference between gauge and 123 dizzy temp value. Looks as though I was right, 100 deg C at...

    Winnie - Our 1970 Bay

    It’s Winnie’s MOT time again next week, blimey that comes round quick. 2 Advisories from last year:- Slight leak on steering box output, which I sorted straight after by fitting the spare box I’d previously refurbed. Front brake lines and tbf they were in need of replacing, but after I’d...

    Which oil

    I have the same set up as you and have been using Westway 20w50 for a while now without any problems 👍 As Ozzie rightly points out, regular changes are the key 👍

    It looks as though they’re just different symbols for what the later models have. Sidelights and Oil That’s my guess anyway 🤣👍

    Where could I get one of these from?

    I have the same set up as Ben with 4 straps. They work really well, provided you remember to lower the roof 🤣 unlike I did on a 7 mile jaunt to Tenby South Beach last year 🙈

    How do you lift your van?

    @ozziedog I’m envious of the space you’ve got around the van too I’ve gone from this To this … The racks off now, but I still have a height restriction when lifting as the roof slopes front to back 🙈 Next house, bigger garage for sure 👍

    How do you lift your van?

    Looks great Ozzie 👍 Winnie’s up in the air at the minute too, just renewed the front brake lines before MOT. Same lifting method, but stands further back on the chassis. I have 2 x rubber inserts that go on top of axle stands making a flat (puck like) surface. @Dizzy T2 … I’ll add a pic later 👍

    I also have the newer vintage speed model. Had it a good few years now, really like it. Here’s mine in 1st gear with handbrake on. It has a nice wide H unlike the very narrow Empi.
