If I can I'll also try and make it.

Just me and the mrs, we don't really know anyone around here but we enjoy historical stuff, visits to old castles and stately homes around the UK, there's so much in this country to see. Trips to London etc. I've got 2 kids as well from prev relationship so have them every other weekend. In...

With that you probably know you need to call a local auto electrician. It's going to be money well spent if your clueless and avoid bigger outlay if you make more mistakes. It might not be a fried alternator, you can't really tell unless you test.

You can check for shorts with a test meter, essential to maintaining your bus. Using that you can step through each circuit to check, shorts , if that's what it is, can be located. I won't say it can be found quickly but stick at it you will get there. you have turned the key circuit into...

lovely ! Can't beat a blue sky picture on a dreary day :cool:

I broke down at the end of summer so engine out over winter to figure out what went wrong. The engine still starts but no drive (auto). Hoping its just flex plate nuts but expecting worse like sheared spline becuase I didn't hear anything flying about, I just instantly lost all drive. I tested...

Give JK a call. Probably need a new belt Either way they'll know.

you might find something on volkszone / vzi classifieds

I was lucky enough to get hold of an eberspacher b1lc, the b = benzine ( petrol), it's quite compact and sits under the passenger seat. Petrol via a t from the tank to engine fuel line. Been running it for years and it's been great. Pg

Budget different shock absorbers as well. I didn't but it was inevitable. Stock ones work great at stock height but lowering then you're losing some travel. I used spax adjustable which have worked out good. Pg

Try to. I got what I think is a gearbox problem couple weeks ago so engine etc out means I'm probably out of action until spring now.

Nice bus Trev. I'm just down the road in Chelmsford !

What I found with chrome sprays is that they look great but you can't touch the surface or it comes off so I tried a clear lacquer and they went dull grey. I tried several but same result. It turns out (I read at the time anyway) that chrome sprays are made up of lots of tiny metallic bits that...

Finished up the isle of wight, well worth a visit if you can, Osbourne house is a nice visit. Carisbrook castle nice day out too. King Charles I was held there after the little civil war we had and the monarchy was booted out. The camper did great until... 30 miles from home on the M25...

Thanks Mike 👍 reads (post by @67panel ) "from my experiance its only US spec that dont have flash conected,all thats needed is live to terminal 30." That's quite straightforward so I'll do that when I get back and post up the results

Chatting to a guy yesterday who wanted pics of the van. He told me he's here for the annual vfm scooter festival. Turns out this weekend is a huge scooter festival, biggest in Europe, so expecting to see a few (thousand) of them... Music: the beat are playing live tonight. They're (scooters)...

Old thread resurrection. I've often wondered if my old bus could be made to flash, he's a US import so I was pleased I found this old post. I've got a ton of 5 pin relays in the garage, could someone share the wire up. I'm assuming I've got a 4 pin so there's a terminal that's got to be added...

There's always an awful lot more involved than you plan, I built mine, stripped back to a shell and rebuilt as I wanted (mine was a US import and I think a hobo had lived in it), it got me through my annihilation in the courts (divorce) but your project needs to be achievable or you'll lose the...

A few pics of holidays. 1st up went to Skern lodge near appledore, North Devon. Really nice and good price, great for the kids, Westward Ho! is perfect for water activities, surfing etc. Skern do some activities which we took up, Kyacking and surfing lessons for the kids. 6 1/2 hours drive...

Another angle, just throwing ideas out there, I went a bit more minimalist. 2 adults, 2 kids so needed function. Fridge ( coolbox) housed under a day seat, to the right fits a Coleman petrol cooker which we use outside in the awning kitchen area or just outside if it's nice. Without the awning...
