Thanks. So As I suspected I got t wrong! Red/black to the two terminal connector and the Red somehow back to light switch - should be 'fun'..

Hi All Had to take apart the ignition lock to check code (another story in General). Any how I went to connect back up the switch which has 4 wires Black, Red, Red plus Black and Brown There was an 'empty' 2 terminal connector for the solid Black and solid Red with matching colours the other...

Ok - its out.. spoke in the blanked out hole was the trick then a hooked pick in place of the key (cos I have none) to jiggle out the barrel. No need to remove the 'hatch' on this model it seems. In retrospect could probably have done it in situ. pretty sure the grub screw could have been left...

Hi, Made some progress with eth igition barrel tomight. Its out of the van in its housing but doesn;t look quite lik e the one described in the 'Spooky' pages which i believe is earlier. To release the barrel it looks like you shove a rod ( I used an old bicycle spoke) down an easily...

Thanks. Sweet Jesus! got to do all this just to see the ignition lock code?? :shock: (see https://web.archive.org/web/20190429082 ... arrel.html for detailed instructions).

OK, so I found these guys.. https://www.replacementkeys.co.uk/vw-camper-key.html If I get the barrel out will I find the number? How about the doors ? Cheers J

Bugger! Pretty sure I just lost my last set of keys. Luckily (?) the van is still open. Whats the best way to get an ignition key cut? Is there some numbering anywhere on the barrel?? Cheers..

Hi yes 266-BLK looks about right. I wonder how effective it is with the 'cushion' part on the inside of the roof (compared with those which have the cushion compressed by the roof edge. However on the Danbury I think you would easily block the gutters with second sort, probably..

Thanks. Don't worry - I'll pull off a section of my drooping seal when i'm next at the storage. Need to measure the number of metres anyway.

Thanks, Do you recall which one?

Hi All Long-time away.. Dragged the bus from storage yesterday - first time in a couple of years. it need some attention in a few areas including the pop top seal - any idea where the best source is? It has that 'rope effect' edge trim but also an old seal that is just hanging off. the seal I...

I have an early 70 (drums all around) with the splined hub/brake drum but I don't recall any spacer - where's it supposed to go?

PM'd

Pretty much the last piece of my Danbury interior (although I still have the back seat rail 'plank' and U brackets..) on ebay right now but first tenner gets it. Moving house so trying to de-clutter a bit. Item is in Bedford, collection preferred. Details on ebay listing 263133158548 Cheers all

Hang on.. 'I only have minor repairs to make front wheel arch, bumper bolt etc. no major panel work' and yet estimates over £14000 What gives? You getting gold-plated interior or summat? J

Yep me too. 2 years since I posted but still got my Danbury and Banbury is close enough ;-)

End float probably 'feels' worse than it is. even 1mm is quite a clunk (3mm is 30 x the recommended..) even so for peace of mind you probably need to get it looked at - maybe flywheelhas worked loose. Good luck..

Thanks for the message , Started working again this morning.. Fingers crossed ..

Hi all Just got the bus out from winter store and apart from teh fuel pump coming apart on the way home it seems ok - apart from fuel gauge not functioning.. Was fine when i put it away. Very occasionally it flicks up to position but mostly its resting on teh end stop. I jiggled all thh fuses...

You're right. A look at the engine forum of thesamba.com is a bit bewildering and lots of heated debates.. I guess in US there is the benefit of cheaper parts and maybe easier access to machine shops hence lots of big bore mayhem. For a 1776 you will need the casing and heads machine to fit...
