    OZ import bus

    Good to see another Dormobile around. Not sure if the number plate would look so good up there in the middle of the panel - but, your bus, your rules !

    not to everyone's liking - but as cheap as chip (ebay) and easy to install

    Top Quality Reproduction parts, anyone?

    I was wondering what will happen to the presses and fabricating machines over in Brazil now they're no longer making buses and beetles.

    Under van protection

    I got baffled by the options for this - in the end I scraped all the old underseal off and wirebrushed the rust, hand painted with Bondo Zinc primer, and rattle can sprayed over in black stonechip. I don't use the bus much in the wet, except annual trip to Cornwall when it'll spend two weeks in...

    Flooding

    This was our neighbors house a year or so back - and although you can't see it , there is someone still in the Saburu - we had to smash a window and drag him out. All the electrics had failed so he couldn't open doors or windows and had been stuck for 7 hours in the dark. He thought he was going...

    Flexi hose mounting bracket

    This may be a bit "random" I noticed these when looking for brake pads for wife's car, they might fit if all else fails - they look about right...straighten the back out and bolt/weld in...

    boss-eyed headlights !

    Thanks for the comment Elibomrod I don't think that would work because the parking light bulb is separate and underneath the main bulb - so can't just rotate the whole reflector or the parking bulb would be at the top... If anyone one else gets this problem (unlikely!) here's the explanation...

    boss-eyed headlights !

    Apologies in advanced for asking a none bus question, I'm hoping one of you knowledgeable chaps can help before I start butchering. The MOT man mentioned that my lights we always wrong - ie one low beam and other high beam - and if I flick the switch they both change, ie the high goes low and...

    stock seats or modern one's

    You can probably still get those clip on head rests - they looked awful back in the day but might have a nice retro appeal now (like bead seat covers...) (not mine)...

    Fitting Dormobile roof

    Can't say for sure if mine is OG - but I think so... It looks like the bolt should turn to reduce/apply tension - but it does not. The method I used is when the roof is UP the springs are at their most loose - so support the roof up with wife or bit of wood, fit strut with slight pressure -...

    possible cv fail?

    I had a similar "clanking" problem from one side at rear and it was caused by a circlip on one of the driveshafts having broken. If you "****" the drive shaft there there should be some movement of maybe a cm max, if there is a lot more (I had 10cm) that could be your problem and is easily...

    Benefits of Additional Gauges

    I got one of those too - when driving up mountains in 2nd gear in Spain it came on regularly, so we stopped for a bit. Can't say if the engine would have suffered without it, very possibly - but for £25 and 3 minutes to fit - it gets a big thumbs up from me.....
