Morning all. Who’s running 16” wheels and what tyres you got? Currently got Conti Vanco2 in 185/60/15 up front and 195/70/15 at the rears. Looking at the tyre converter 185/55/16 & 195/65/16 are a little bigger which will give me better cruising rpm but open to ideas? The Vanco2 tyres are 6ply...

Anyone changed their fuel lines recently, mine have been on for around 9 years but look in great shape, but I have a plastic filter under the tank I need to replace so thinking of doing it all. Trouble is I have a Huco pump, in-line metal filter, fuel cut-off valve, Tee-piece to supply both...

So its been a fantastic summer out in the bus, hope you guys have enjoyed your van's as much as I have and covered some trouble free miles! Thought I'd start a thread documenting winter jobs that need attention on my bus and you can add yours too. Maybe we will get some inspiration to crack on...

Who’s going, is it any good, are there tickets still available, who can I camp with??

Anyone else down in the county on holiday in their bus over the next two weeks?

So it’s bothered me for years what the black knob is on the inside of the hatch lock on my ‘70 Westy, it doesn’t turn slide or pull so tonight I got around to investigating…. After a degrease and a soaking in WD40 I worked out that when the door latch is shut the knob slides up and down ]...

Hi all, I noticed this weekend that I can now slip into reverse when looking for 2nd gear and the lock out is no longer stopping this happening. I can find all gears absolutely fine and I did adjust the gear plate (at the bottom of the gear stick) last week and I'm sure it was fine before....any...

On my Westy there is a black knob on the inside of the rear hatch lock mechanism, it is knurled but just spins on the shaft, if I pull it then it comes off the shaft. I assume it is there to open the hatch from the inside but how?

Just a quickie, coming back from DATC and sitting in traffic i noticed a grinding noise coming from the near side rear brake area. It was speed related and not brake dependant, turned out to be a loose hub nut. Split pin was present and doing its thing so another one for the memory bank

Ok so an actual VW question for once from me. I removed my 6rib box for a rebuilt 3rib with better suited gearing for the Corvair engine and it intermittently pops out of 4th. Sometimes not at all then it might do it 4 times in a row. Sometimes when lifting off and others whilst coasting...

Hi all Just reading about someone's windscreen leaking has reminded me that the chrome panel mount aerial I fitted a couple of years ago is pretty useless at keeping the water out! Now I have put up with it as the van lives inside most of the year. But is there an aerial that sits on the front...

Someone pointed out to me that my ns brake light don’t work and I remembered the tab was missing so I rigged up a temp connector a few years ago that has failed again. Was chatting to a split owner last week who says you can buy the lamp holder with the connections, anyone know where I can get...
