Hi all Following a recent attempt to bankrupt myself I need to sell our camper to cover some of the debt!! :( As it says in the title it is a RHD 1972 Westy pop-top. I am looking for offers around the £9995 mark although may consider selling some of the accessories separately to give more...

Hi all I have friends who have a small orchard at the bottom of their garden and most years the apples just rot. I'm thinking about trying to make cider. I know there are a number of cider connoisseurs out there so wondered if you guys make your own? If so what do I need? Any good recipes...

Hi all My engine is a little poorly at the moment. The best diagnosis is that the inlet valve seat has come loose and is stopping the valve closing properly. I've already driven 40 odd miles with it in this condition, I thought it was just a timing problem :( . If this is all that has gone...

Hi all I've just had the bus serviced and rolling roaded so that nothing can go wrong while we are on holiday... Half way down from Kent to Devon the bus started back firing and losing power. I'm reduced to crawling up the slightest incline and when I put my foot down I can smell petrol in the...

Hi all I've commented on a separate thread, but yesterday I got by bus rolling-roaded and I'm a little disappointed. It drives OK, but I'd have expected better for the £ I've spent :(. I also have a horrible flatspot at take off revs. :( :( :( . I have a new engine and new carbs, although...

Hi all I've got tapatalk on an Android phone and it has just updated itself to version 2. However I now can't logon. Tapatalk fails and says contact the forum administrator. Just thought others might want to avoid the update... Andy

Hi all I know there are a number of electronic ignition threads...so sorry to add to them. Just wanted to know if getting the Pertronix ignitor 2 is worth paying the extra for? Coolair have their annual sale next week so with 10% off now might be the time to buy. Thanks

Hi all As it says: Anyone heard of Mark Picot Watson OR Kent Aircooled VW? This guy works right on my doorstep and it would be interesting to know if anyone has come across him before. Thanks Andy

Hi all If I SORN a vehicle, when I want to put it back on the road to I have to get it trailered to an MOT test station or can you drive it to get an MOT so that you can get the tax? I'm guessing you can't drive it...but just wanted to know from those who are wiser than I am!

My wife insisted that we bought this this week. The things I do for matrimonial bliss!! :lol: :lol: Other than the camper, this is the only other VW I've ever had...I wonder if it will still be going string 40 years from now!!!

Hi all I will try to post pictures but wanted to get this up as soon as I could. I have a grey plastic Deluxe Wheel cover for sale for £35. It is in good condition and the eyeletts are not broken. I'm happy for you to inspect before buying. After spending ages trying to find one...it won't...

Hi all I've been looking around but can't seem to see any. What would be a fair price for a Deluxe Spare Wheel Cover if good condition?

Hi all...finally got rid of the smell of exhaust fumes...but now I can smell petrol :(. I've got a small "hatch" above the fuel sender and if I take this off there is a strong smell of petrol in this cavity. Everything seem clean and tidy and on obvious signs of rust. What am I looking at for...

Hi all I'm back down to Devon for a holiday again this year and a little nervous :?. Last year had the trailer of shame home and hoping for more success this year. Just to be on the safe side I'm after a contact or two in the area...just in case. So as it says, anyone recommended in the South...

Hi all, my brakes make an awful noise and the guy I got to look at it says I need to get anti squeal shims...problem is that they only come part of a brake kit as far as I can see. Also have to admit to having later calipers (apparently) so this might complicate things. Can you get them...

Hi all I need a good mechanic in the Medway, Maidstone area. My new engine needs to have replacement carbs fitted. I'm fed up with spending good money on a less than good job. I just want to find someone who can do a reasonable job. Any one got some one they can recommend? Thanks

Hi all Is it safe to fit a leisure battery under the back seat? I read that they need to be vented, but most are sealed units. Anyone done this? Thanks

Hi all Is anyone using multiple leisure batteries? I was wondering if it was worth having a second under the back seat for that extra bit of power? I've got a 100watt solar panel and the battery is fully charged and I'm losing free electricity!!!! If I did do you need to have similar rated...

Hi all I'm getting increasingly hacked off with the twin carbs on my new engine. The carbs are a bit of a "home brew" from the engine builder and although they are original webbers they are not common on VWs. They have also been the source of most of my engine problems over the last year. The...

Sorry my day for asking questions... I've got a twin carb 1776 engine and the engine builder said that I would be able to change the plugs without taking the engine out... Trouble is I can't see how I can. Is there a "special" super bendy plug spanner type thing that people use? I can't even...
