    bolt on and go faster barrels and pistons - advice please

    I agree - a pair of ICTs, especially on a single port, will give you loads of torque. If you can stretch to a pair of ratio rockers - I tried a set of Scat 1.25:1 recently - then you'll get even more. It'll pull like a train. Just make sure you get it set up on the rollers...

    Baby seat advice

    We took our kids all over last year - our son was 9 months in the summer and most of the time, he sat up front with me as he was in a Maxi Cosi rear-facing infant seat and the front inertia seat belts were the only ones long enough to go round the seat. My girlfriend and six-year old sat in the...

    Wanted danbury interior and pop top

    Hi, I've got a complete Danbury interior that I'll be looking to sell in a couple of weeks. I bought the whole thing but only used the buddy seats, including the flip-up cooker. It's had a fairly hard life, by the look of things - splits, repairs, etc but it looks like it's all there - got...

    Post your drive away awnings?

    Sorry, no pics but we've got a Khyam Driveaway and like Childsey, it's great for us and the kids. But like Blogroed, managed to split a couple of the poles at Vanfest - bit too windy and not quite sussed the right sequence... Great awning, ***** poles...

    Van dying while at speed

    For what it's worth, I had exactly this on an old V8 ex-Police riot van. Turned out to be a clogged fuel filter which would flow fuel for light throttle/load and for a short while as the load/speed increased, then starve the engine, till it slowed down or stopped for a bit and the filter could...

    paying via paypal is it refundable???

    Escrow might be worth thinking about - it seems you put money in a holding account and when the deal is done, it gets released to the seller. Just a thought... https://www.escrow.com/index.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    12v coolbox recommendations

    I bought a big old Halfords 12V cooler last year, which fits perfectly between the buddy seats. It looked after us for a week in Le Mans, Vanfest, VW Action and a few other weekends away on a totally mullered 110Ah battery. It helps massively if you chuck everything you need to take in the...

    Battery replacement

    For what it's worth, I've just had to buy a new leisure battery - the original turned itself inside out as it was discharged so many times. I got a 113Ah version from Tayna.co.uk for less than £100 delivered. Came the next day and it's guaranteed for three years. Deep cycle, sealed and...

    Wanted - fuel tank cover

    Hi Simon, Yes, sorry, it's the firewall I'm after - screws on behind the tank, between it and the engine bay. A pic would be great when you get a chance. Many thanks, Jim

    Wanted desperately - EB standard exhaust

    Hi Marvel, I'm in Bedford but I tend to be up that way a time or two a week. Will probably be heading to Warmington on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning, if that's convinient. How much are you looking for? Many thanks, Jim

    Wanted desperately - EB standard exhaust

    Can anyone help please? I desperately need a standard 1600SP EB exhaust silencer and tailpipe for the dreaded MOT. Condition is irrelevant, as long as it will pass the test. Don't want to shell out for a brand spanker, as the bus is getting perf exhaust and carbs later this month but after...

    Kenwood HU in Glove box, sound fades out after 3 songs...

    If it's any help, I'm running a Pioneer head unit powering a pair of components in the front doors and a BBG amp running a pair of three ways and bridged into a 600W 10in sub in the back. It's all powered directly from a leisure battery with a split charge relay, off a stock generator on a...
