    What engine do I have? Oil advice

    Got a 4 into 1 header plus phatboy exhaust for my 2.1 engine. However, been thinking of changing it as the header sticks out just past the bumper and this means the phatboy sticks out a bit aswell. So, do all 4 into 1 headers stick out further? And what other options do I have instead of the...

    Heater levers help

    They are secured by some small white plastic pop rivet type things. Someone sells them on ebay. After spending ages trying to remove them (so they could be reused ) I just ended up cutting them off using Stanley knife/long nosed pliers and the blade from a hacksaw. To get to them I used both...

    How do you remove spray adhesive from wheel tubs?

    I used white spirit to remove the glue underneath the soundproofing above the engine bay. But noticed that you'd tried this in a later post.

    Indicator Relay Meltdown Twice

    Evening people, Recently replaced my indicator unit with a new one on my US 70 bus. However, my flasher relay has now melted twice and sometimes the 2nd fuse (the fuse that has the red wires connected to it) blows as well. Once it melted when just having the turn signal in the down/left...

    Slider Door Rubber - which is the top?

    Got a new sliding door seal to fit and found your post... So, on my LHD rubber the flap will be sticking out from the left (or should I say closer to the rear of the door), but does the flap face into the channel/recess or does it face outwards? i.e. which side sits in the channel?

    Replacing old flasher relay with New...

    I'm replacing my old flasher relay (which died) with a new modern one, then as the connection layout is different I'm going to try with some short jumper wires back to the fuse box. My only question is that the old relay (4 connections) had a "KBL" labelled connection, which my new modern one...

    lhd throttle kits.......

    Just about to fit the butty throttle kit and noticed your post regarding... I've had something similar. My accelerator pedal dropped to the floor and didn't spring back. This happened when I had the bus parked up, so no recreating any scenes from the film "speed" for me. When I looked...

    Grand Prix

    I'm off to the qualifying only. Can't believe how expensive it is - wonder if that's why they are now selling tickets on the gate? Should be good though!

    Replacing Orange Fuse box?

    Hi, My bus is a 70 US spec and the fuse box is the Orange bakelite one, which is known to crack/fall to pieces. Therefore I'm looking at what options I've got to replace it (not looking for another identical one)... 1 - 71 spec fuse box with the pins swapped around to resemble the orange...

    EB Wiring Looms

    Any updates? Also does the new loom use the original fuse box (I've got the orange bakelite one that vw did for 6 months) or does it require a new one? If it's a new one, is it more like a 71 fuse box or a straight replacement of the 70?

    indacaters to fast

    Recently got Orange indicator bulbs from 3 different suppliers, but they all seem to be slightly smaller in diameter around where the terminals are, than the ones that were originally on the bus (which is a 70 from the US). So, they don't 'lock' into the indicator housing. Strange thing is...

    Relays under fuse box

    To be honest I wondered aswell why the tape was there in the first place. I'm thinking it might be to protect the relays from moisture or some kind of leak in the past? There was a tiny bit of corrosion on the terminals (you might be able to make it out). I tempted to take all the tape off...
