My first classic Vw I bought in 2011. Always wanted one ☺️. It’s now 13 years I can’t believe it!

Got new tail lamps in 2022 from Heritage. Much better then the old ones I had. Just normal bulbs and an alternator help keep them bright.

I usually buy my bolts and screws etc from Kay's on Ebay. Much cheaper than buying from the usual suspects.

looking good :) I never needed a clip on the 'beak'

I’m guessing that is a type 4 engine ?

Indian restaurant delivery van?

Hope it goes well mate. :)

AFAIK it slides across locking the hatch from the inside. You have to slide it back before trying to open the hatch from the outside, even with a key.

One of the more significant changes for me recently has been to remove the cool box from my 1970 Westy camper. I put in a small fridge instead and I really like having the convenience of having the fridge as opposed to using ice packs. I did use the cool box for a long time but obviously a...

I loved having my new air-cooled engine (2019) It's 2007cc with twin ICT carbs and feels so much more capable than my old 1600 engine. I can go up hills in third no problem, inclines on the motorway in fourth easy. I would say it's really improved my driving experience. I thought about going...

Thanks guys. It was the r/h/s CV joint at the wheel end. Replaced and no more knocking. I grabbed the axle and could just feel slight movement which the others didn't have. When I took it off and inspected it there was pitting on the metal face similar to what happened in April 23 on the l/h/s ...

Actually it was April last year I put the new Lobro cv joints on the left axle.

I’ve checked the cv joint boots and all four are intact. The cv joints were new in 2019 and two replaced a couple of years ago due to a split boot and damage to one cv joint. I replaced the pair though as there was an offer on at the time. I’ve been under and grabbed the axles and turned the...

Monty has developed this strange knocking noise. It only happens when I turn to the right for example going around a roundabout, on the way out there is a fairly slow knocking noise which continues for a short time once going straight ahead. The noise started when I was driving to Wales on...

Lyme Regis

We are at a holiday cottage and had just arrived there after an 8 hour journey from my parents in Leicester! Lovely place here, and thank god the weather has improved 😂 Have a great holiday!

I would have thought you should be getting well over 20 something like 24-26mpg ? Has it got worse recently. On another subject did I pass you in Lyme Regis on Friday? 😀

Tidy some LB wiring from solar panel Clean battery trays and replace LB Probably could do with some new front tyres after 9 years. Always thinking about CSP disks for the front but the drums are really ok so it’s more of a would like than need 😂

Well done 👍!
