Looking at eBay and found a picture. It has an actual number plate written on the edge by the owner of a 1970 early. May be of interest to someone. But....Really of interest to the owner of the number plate and bus. Might be a member on here? Bit of memorabilia. It’s a J reg. eBay link...

Anyone know if you should be able to see the accelerator cable metal guide tube that goes through the fan shroud and firewall poking out underneath the bus chassis? I’ve been underneath and all I can see is the flexi hose that goes over the gear box. It goes right up to the metal and then you...

Hi. A bit interesting. A guy named Jonathan Gross (one of my wife's two business partners) is an artist. His Dad is the famous poet, Philip Gross. Jonathan took photographs of the inside of our bus to use as inspiration for one of the covers of his Dad's books. I forgot all about it until my...

Hi everyone, The new law and children remaining safe with new rear facing advice. Has anyone found difficulties in all the aspects involved? Are the seat belt considerations easy? Are there problems in housing car seats safely? I want to take the grandkids out and am concerned that I get it spot...

Hi, Title? Rebuild or restoration or renovation? Difficult to say really. You start off with a buy from someone who sells you a long time wished for. You pay out the price asked for, drive around in the "old girl" for 4 to 5 years everyday for both work and pleasure. Things go wrong with this...

Hi Everyone, Just a few words to say that it's good to come back to the site. My bus has been off the road for a number of years now. My job was so hectic alongside my additional taking on a Masters degree. My life was turmoil. The bus was a complete mess after all the salt from my local beach...

So the mechanics have put a new front axle on the crossover 72 and I went to pick it up. They have put a new exhaust and heat exchangers too. The gears are all over the place. Loose and not where they were positionally before. Couldn't find them naturally and had to pull off in fourth. First...

Hi, Just having my exhaust and heat exchangers replaced by the local mechanic and ...... the front axle has deteriorated. Rotten at the edges and fallen apart. I use the bus every day for work and thank God for the exhaust going and needing fixing. I have long countryside runs to work and dread...

WANTED: FRONT AXLE for an EB T2 Crossover 1972. Any idea of suppliers if there are none out their in Earlybay.com-land as original spares. Replies much appreciated.

Hi. I've been away and my EB has been standing for 2 weeks in all this rain. Welsh rain at that !! Came back, jumped in all eager for a spin and started up lovely, first time too, but the handbrake is solid and the bus won't move forwards or backwards. Tries...... but won't budge! Can I release...

I'm about to get under the van to change the starter motor. Where's the strongest and safest points to put the axle stands ? I have a fantastic bottle jack (8 ton max), sturdy trolley jack, two metal drive on ramps (I thought these could be placed for extra safety under the wheels) and the two...

Maybe I'm being naive and you guys know of this contact. But after trudging the net for a couple of days looking for an elusive part, I found a company called Wagenteile, in Germany. I don't know if anybody is aware of this supplier, but they've come up with the part I found really difficult to...

Steering wheel movement as a problem. I've taken off the wheel etc. and it reveals a "lock" washer ? easily taken out and underneath it a brass bush. This brass bush isn't tight, has play and spins if I encourage it too. Question is, (until I receive my Haynes from Amazon), is there a tension...

Meet Sputnik. Love it to bits. It's our first and already much loved. Causing headaches already though. Don't you just love the challenge of them. Someone gave me an old metal Merchant Seaman's chest for the back and I aim to keep my van lifestyle in it and go light. Camera [with film], bit of...
