    To keep a eye on the temperture

    Hi, I got mine from Prowagen Performance which seem to be a UK gene berg stockist, was around 12months ago, I'm guessing they still do them?! Even if they are not on the site I'd give them a call...

    To keep a eye on the temperture

    Hi, I have fitted a gene berg dipstick sender, personally I think it's one of the best pieces of kit available for a VW - very basic, I use it as an early warning system. From what I understand it activates the dashboard light before any serious damage could be done, no gauges or anything, like...

    Winter Storage Prep....??

    Hey Sarah, Afraid I can't make Sunday - got to work, was going to go though, seemed a great cause. It's not too far, in Wolverhampton, the old bus depot - they have CCTV and 24hr security so it's actually lowered my insurance costs! Good job the couple are giving it another try - hope they...

    Winter Storage Prep....??

    Thanks all, Quite comprehensive! I think that's the main thing Clem - I'd feel so guilty if I left her out in the snow etc.. all winter, plus, I got the storage for a good price so everyone's a winner!

    Winter Storage Prep....??

    Thanks for the replies, The fuel issue is the one confusing me some say, leave minimal in, whilst other say fill her right up to prevent condensation within the tank, I think I'll just lave a small amount in and leave the cap off to prevent the condensation, I'll crack a few windows for the...

    Winter Storage Prep....??

    Hello all, I'm gearing up for putting my bus into storage for the winter, it's going to be living in a big warehouse rather than a small garage - thought that may be a better option as plenty of air gets around it. Eventhough it's going to be sitting indoors should I put a cover over it? Jus...

    Chrome wipers and arms?

    Silly Question Alert! I've often considered chrome wipers however I was concerned that the sun would reflect off them loads and cause a problem when driving? Ever had that problem?

    Condensation on wety roof

    I've often considered using a danish dry bag, it's a yellow cotton bag full of granules that are supposed to absorb water, and once fully saturated you can bung it in the oven for a hour to dry it out. There are also modern alternatives that collect water in plastic tubs I believe, not sure how...

    Rust removal

    Hi, I painted my floor with a product called Jenoseel Plus, this must be similar to what Trikky is talking about, comes in a 5 litre tin and is ridiculously heavy for it's size, and it's really thick too. It's a red oxide primer but I believe it's non-porous, it also has a built in rust...

    Hi, Its actually a yellow officially believe it or not - L 10 H - Arizona gelb (yellow), I think it may have been a 1968 Ghia colour originally, interesting colour all the same, all the best with your bus :)

    Weymouth & Poole

    Hi, We've just come back from Weymouth for a few days, I used to go every month as a child as my parents had a caravan down there, we stayed at Sea Barn Farm, stayed at a place called eweleaze farm before too - both very nice sites. As for things to do Lulworth Cove is lovely and the walk to...

    My new old bus! 1970 South African westy.

    Ahhh, Another SO67R, nice to see, there's not many of us around, there's a really nice original one in the months VW Camper and Bus (even if they have called it a SO69 :roll: ). Personally I love the full bulkhead and double buddy seat, much more civilised eating opposite each other round a...

    I've missed a few steps here (also including buckets of sweat and a concerning quantity of blood), but here is the finished product! A very proud gent in Saumur, Loire Valley, France I'm really happy with everything, in particular the interior (although keeping it clean may prove a...
