Hi All, Ever since I restored my bus I have a bit of a leaky slider at the top edge. The rubbers were new German quality but it doesn't feel as though the top of the door is pushing on the rubber hard enough. The bottom sill was all replaced so I'm sure it's related to that, is there any advice...

Hi All, I'm taking the Bus on it's first (in my ownership at least) trip abroad to Classic Le Mans in early July and then looking to go over to the French west coast for the following week so any recommendations on where to go/camp would be gratefully received. I've never camped in France and we...

I'm changing my interior colour so I'm selling these TMI OG looking basketweave seat covers for an EB in Grey. I bought and fitted them a few years ago but due to the low mileage my bus does they look almost brand new. If it wasn't for where the metal tabs poke through them when fitting you...

Hi all, I'm refreshing my interior and would like to go for carpet or sisal/jute in the back. Interested to know of any recommendations of where you can buy a suitable sized piece of carpet etc that's suitable for the back of the dub? Thanks Mags

I'm fed up with oil leaks from the sump cover, what am I doing wrong? A few years ago I replaced all the studs that the sump cover uses and the nuts, domed type. I have an aftermarket sump cover with a large drain plug in the middle, I pulled this all off last weekend to clean the gauze and...

OK, so a complete can of worms topic I know but I've got to ask the question. I have a '72 bus fitted with a Beetle Type 1 Twinport 1600 (I don't have the engine code to hand, I think it's AD?) Bone stock Solex 34 Pict 3, oil bath filter and everything, even points in the dizzy! but the SVDA...

I'm thinking of having a go at refurbing all the interior panels as mine are OG and knackered. I wondered what the difference was with hardboard vs ply panels and is it more cost effective to buy the ready made cards to save the time of cutting out my own? Hardboard or Ply? I've watched so may...

I tried to change my fuel pump this morning and had to leave the old on in the end. I have one of these from VWH: https://www.vwheritage.com/113127025d-fuel-pump-t1-t2-1-2-1-6-for-dynamo-rod-best-quality First off the inlet at the top hits the inlet manifold so I undid the bolt at the bolt to...

Free to a good home, an old Canvas style Grey Royal Traveler 3. Don't have photo's of it erected I'm afraid. Frame in perfect condition, 1 small tear that I remember where the top rear corner of the sliding door has torn through, it's no problem, I used it for years like this. I did have some...

I had to replace the OG indicator relay, the big blue one that makes the lovely click-clunk noise when the indicators are on. The modern replacement is close to silent I have accidentally left my indicators on a few times and I miss that "period" noise that only the Bus makes. Is there a...

I completed my resto last year which included a new front panel and the upper part of the inner front panel as well. I was particularly careful when reaplacing metal around the windscreen aperture as I didn't want to mess up the shape/hole size and have windscreen fitting issues or leaks...

I bought a used steering wheel thinking it was the right size for my '72 crosser and it is too small to fit on the column, looks like about 17mm ID and mine looks to be about 21mm. Are all EB's the same size up to Late bay's ('73 ish?) and I've bought a Late Bay wheel? I just want to be sure as...

My existing S/C relay has deformed due to high current (I think) and needs replacing. I notice the cost is not much more to go for a voltage sensing one nowadays, anyone got any experience? pro's/con's etc? or alternatives? Cheers.

I'm after a steering wheel to keep me mobile whilst mine is restored, not fussed about condition. Or if someone has one to loan me that would work as well. Thanks Mags

My EB has foam cushions covered in Fabric (similar to how Danbury did it originally) so when converted to a bed we chuck a fitted sheet onto it and sleep on this with a regular quilt, just like a regular bed. The downside is the cushions don't look great in comparison with the vinyl interiors I...

Just been camping for nearly 2 weeks with a new Kyham awning and the first time I've properly used the figure 8 attach method. Although its been very easy to attach/remove it doesn't seem to be very kind to the paintwork and I've managed to chip the edge of the gutter at the front of my EB. My...

How do you replace the schrader valve on the washer bottle? Mine is leaking and ive just reinstated the og system, would be nice for it to be fully working! Cheers Mags

i cannot believe the total **** quality door glass holders that are being sold. I had to replace one of the glass holders on my bus, the first time I shut the door with the window down I hear a dodgy noise and the window dropped into the door. I take a look and the u channel that is spot welded...
