Hi All. I'll attempt to cut a long story short so here goes. Got a buyer interested in my camper from Sweden, he's seen a dozen or so pics, is interested and wants to fly to Stanstead and get me to drive the van to meet him off the plane so he can look at it. Should he be willing to buy he will...

Reluctantly selling my Bay to fund other projects, it was listed a couple of months ago for sale but my heart wasn't really into selling! I bought the camper from Graham at Midland Early Bay a couple of years ago and have done quite a few bits in getting it on the road since then. It is in need...

My odometer is working but the speedo is not, the cable is turning at the speedo end so what might be the problem, or where should I look first perhaps? Thanks in advance.

I've got twin carbs and a four in to one header set up, I'd just like to know what sort of muffler I could do with for a quieter ride! Think its got a bugpack on at the mo, any suggestions?

I am reluctantly selling my Camper to to a new arrival in the family and I need to do a few bits around the house so she is not gonna get the attention she deserves unfortunately! If I sell this dearly loved camper I shall look forward to the day when I buy another! I bought the camper as a new...

Yeah looking for a someone who'll give my camper a proper once over - done quite a few bits myself just want some assurances if you know what I mean! Ideally looking for a a mechanic in the Leics/ N'hants/ Beds area and in a perfect world a VW fanatic themselves! Thanks

My camper been to the garage and the fella's cleaned the carbs up nice and said now they should prove more economical for for being set up right which he has also done, he claims. However, he's replaced the spring that ran from the end of the accelerator cable to the bar that links the carb and...

I know this is much covered but would be grateful for any advice. I love my camper as it is, dents scratches and all but one day who knows, might have the funds to turn her into a mintbox. But for the time being what wax would offer the most suitable protection? She's in pretty good nick being...

Ok, the pump works fine but its missing the tap/faucet and I'm wondering if anyone else ever had this problem and how they sorted it, either by improvising with a new tap fixed in some way or bought another pump. The novelty may well wear off but I'd like to get it working for use! :)

Hi all. Stripped the floor out of the bus and pretty good, just want to know whats the best way to treat the floor before slapping down some new ply. Very minor rust spots that need treating, whats best to use? And then do I need to paint the whole floor for protection? Thanks in advance.

I would just like to say a huge thankyou to all who have helped me get my camper on the road. I've been knocking about on this site for about a year now after buying this red Westy off Graham at MEB in January and been meaning to post this for ages, but I think there's always been something more...

Yes, as above, I have the sink pump but no spout/ tap with it, also need the water tank filler tube and cap if anyone has one or knows where to get these parts. Thankyou!

Hi Folks. Well, stripped down the westy interior to the metal and whilst I have a good idea of what needs to be done, I would be grateful of any suggestions to what i can do with everything out of the way. In particular, is it worth coating the inside with protective paint, waxoyl or suchlike...

Yup im after a replacement hub after losing one recently. They're the nice domed chrome ones to fit a '70 westy, don't mind if a bit tatty because the remaining three are and they cleaned up ok. Would probably buy a set if available and anything considered. Cheers :)

Fitted a new starter motor a few weeks back. Since then when I start up I have to turn the key back a fraction after ignition otherwise I get this really nasty groaning noise. I recall I didn't have this before but am wondering what it might be. Something to do with the ignition switch perhaps...

Just a quick one if someone could recommend, want to do a first oil change and would like to know whats the best oil to use. I have a 1600 twin port petrol engine, dual carbs. Many thanks ;)

Yes, a couple of queries about my 1970, 1600 engine twin carb bay. Up and runnning nicely but seems to be at pretty high revs - I've got Dellorto 34 FRD carbs with the linkage between them and a spring in the middle which is fixed to a hole above. On starting up its a nice idle but after taking...

Ok, been out today and going well, parked up, had a picnic everything just dandy. Then had trouble starting the engine again. It was turning over but wouldn't start so I gave it a breather and tried again. Again no joy. At the third attempt it started and we were on our way but after a quarter...

Yes, I took off my old rotten heater cables a while back and now I've finally got the right new ones I can't remember how they go on! I think I'm alright with the attachment behind the dash, its the other end where I'm confused. Got all the bits - the white plastic clip and the very tiny but...

Hi yes I would like to get to work on cutting out my old rusty battery tray to get a new one welded in, whats the best way of doing this? I am an utter novice. Many thanks in advance.
