yeah I just read this one which was pretty heartbreaking: http://www.ssvc.org.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=67518 The spigot issue seems similar except at the carb end. just found this: http://www.vw-resource.com/fuel_line_input.html

received mine today thanks!

I successfully changed the fuel line between the pump and the carb earlier today however I'm a bit concerned that it's not tight at the carb fuel input on the top cover. There is a small copper (?) pipe that goes into the carb top cover. When I removed the old braided line, this came out with...

boing.... Anyone? Bueller? Have I not explained this well?

Hi, Can I jack my van up where the transmission is bolted to the axle? Need to get a little more height for my axle stands.. Thanks

yup I would say scam too. I saw similar on autotrader which asked for email address. Also had a web link which on closer inspection by going back up a level (ie from \car\vw\golf to \car\) listed multiple folders for different makes/ models and identical contact detail text and request for...

I'm going to change my fuel lines/ remove excess fule filter to decent ones as per my earlier post http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43525 The engine bay one is here: and I'm wondering whether there is a preferable route for it to take or should I just leave well alone and just...

slammed??? ermm v tricky I would have thought!! Might depend on which bit you were camping someone in our group had a Mazda RX8 and was a bit worried about it grounding. Went up the track we were on and it did ground a couple of times... food for thought!

Apparently there is a proposal to change the law for "Taxi & Private Hire Service" which will now include wedding (and funeral) hire services. I don't know much about it but it seems that it will make it considerable more costly to use your van as a wedding car for hire More info...

They also run another one near basingstoke called Inwood. Poss even more basic as no restaurant or shop. Option to camp within the woods or in fields. We stayed there, big group of about 10 families plus kids (about 14 of them ranging from 6 months - 12 years!!) & had great fun despite it...

The paint went on allright but the lacquer was just not happening. I reckon I could do it with a gun, compressor and a garage but I haven't got any of them!! Never mind.

lol well it was off the road for maybe 10 of those years! :lol:

Thought I'd post this up here: Maplin are doing a deal on a 300W 12v inverter. No idea if it's any good but seems a bargain? Run mains powered equipment from your car battery Suitable for mobile phones, camcorders, AV equipment, laptops, TVs up to 19-inches, VCRs and portable work lights 300...

Thanks for the reply & links - a lot cheaper than I've seen!! Will get on the case I think and do it at home. I don't keep the tank very full so hopefully can get it all into a container easily enough. Cheers

I had a scare the other day when I started my van and smelt a stronger smell of petrol than normal...jumped out and had a look at the engine...eeek! :shock: One of the jobs I had not got round too had come to bite me - fortunately I'm not driving it at the moment! I have a fuel filter here...

thanks for the reply ProfessorWheeto, very helpful however I think this is beyond me as I don't have a gun or garage and this weather & rattle cans is, as you say, just impossible.... cheers anyway
