Just to say a big thank you to ZedBed and Trikky2 for helping in what to them must be real dumb questions :oops: Still, we all have to start somewhere and with their help, I have now reset all the valve clearances on our bus successfully for the first time :shock: :D I have also learnt how...

You are a superstar SIR.....I have just checked and the rotor arm is point to the lead on the cap which is No.2 Cylinder........Thank you so much, I will now carry on adjusting the others :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hi and many thanks for the quick response :D So it is OK for No.1 exhaust rocker to rock after doing a 180 degree counter clockwise turn on the engine? I would assume both No.1 valves would now be tight and the No.2 being able to rock back and forth? You mention the rotor arm, (here we go...

OK, complete newbie when it comes to engines but I know I need to get my hands dirty and am attempting to give our van's engine a going over/service myself! I am going through the 3000 miles maintenance section of the "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" book (told you I was a complete newbie!)...

Great day out, many thanks for all who organised it.. :D

matty909 , We thought about this and even tried to open out popup tent up there but the tent was too big! not sure I am good enough to make my own, justwondering if I can get a small popup one man tent up there :shock: :D

Sounds like opening a few windows is the answer, many thanks to all the replies. clyde, Where did you get the silver installation from?

While in Cornwall last week, we went to the Eden project and and they had some C02 stats used while on holidays........and the campervan comes out real well. To put into perspective, a holiday in Barbados for 4 is 18,132kg C02e and a holiday cottage for 2 weeks for 4 travelling by train is...

Just came back from a great week in Cornwell in our westy. As the temperature at nights dropped, we noticed a lot of condensation on the inside of the roof. Just wondered if anyone had any tips to reduce condensation in their vans?

Shame you cannot make it but thanks for pointing the anniversary out, I had not realised!

Trying to get a few earlybay campers to display their vans at our village farye this weekend so if you want a free overnight stopover this weekend - http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32219" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Come on down and by all means stay overnight in the field if you want. The fayre starts at 13:30 on Saturday so you will need to be here before then as the road gets blocked off to traffic. It finishes at 16:30 and we will do some food for the evening for anyone who comes. We will then down...

"I think it's only Westies that have a problem with rear seat belts 'cos of the height of the r'n'r bed" That would explain it!

Yep it is still on so who is up for a free overnight stay in a lovely part of the countryside. The fayre is selling beer!

I know there have been a number of posts on here about improving the rear seatbelts and installing retractable seatbelts. This seems to be a problem but I was wondering what the new Danbury campervans have fitted as they must have better rear safety belts and I would assume these would be...

Certainly is, as long as any mess is cleared up :D

Many thanks. I will try and find a new seal (anyone know where they can be found?) or buy a locking cap.

Just checked it and although it is tight, there is no rubber seal. It is the original one so maybe that is right? Many thanks
