I use a battery isolator (on the earth terminal) to save my battery in the low use winter months and as an added level of security but it is a pain as I keep losing my radio settings. I read about "setting-saving" devices used by workshops to preserve radio lockouts, ECU fault codes etc during...

When I knew we had a baby on the way I went on the lookout for a nice period trailer to go on the bus, to carry nappies, toys, playpens etc... I quite fancied a Westy Essen or similar and even though of building something new from scratch but in period style. Eventually I found a "Lama Remorque"...

I bought a set of second hand IDFs recently but unfortunately the PO failed to mention that the throttle levers were missing... Hence I just have the threaded spindles on each side. Right now I don't know exactly what I need to order up but the cost of what I've looked at so far is painful! £20+...

Selling this unbelievably original and truely practically MINT CONDITION Golf MK3 1800 GL 1993 (L reg). This car belonged to my wife's grandmother who barely drove it and kept it garaged from new. It has covered under 13000 miles and this is evidenced by a comprehensive service history. It is...

What are people using now that Photobucket have gone silly and are asking for subscriptions? Hoping for an easy way to migrate all my saved libraries...

I've got a really annoying squeak, like a chirruping, that has started at the side slider. My wife has pushed against the door at the rear causing the note to change but I've WD40d the rear catch, rear levers etc atop no avail. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts now...

I kept hold of this driver's seat cover after I restored a pair of stock seats. I thought it might suit someone who wants a ratty look but with some sensible level of comfort! There is now also a short tear on the seat back near the base, which I did when I pulled it off the frame. Not shown...

I don't know what vehicle these came from but I had them recovered a couple of years back and they served me well until I returned to stock so that I could fit a cab bunk in for our new baby. Both seats are on runners and recline. They were fitted into my bay a bit crudely for my liking, using...

On my 72 crosser the brake reservoir is behind the front kick panel but I was wondering if it's been relocated to the wrong place as the kick panel is ill fitting and sticks out "clumsily" as it goes around it. This ultimately means that any hot air blown downwards gets blown behind the kick...

On an original 2 tone paint finish where were the demarcation points? What I mean is, for a white over blue bus, would it have all been painted white then blue applied to the bottom? If so, where did the blue paint stop on the inner face of the doors and door shuts; did it go all the way...

Has anyone used the over the front seats cab bunk sold by Coolair? https://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Shop_by_Vehicle~Baywindow_Products~Baywindow_Miscellaneous_Products~Miscellaneous_Products~Bunks_-P-_Beds/211898568/T2_68-79_Front_Cab_Bunk_Bed_With_Fittings.html I have seen various reports on...

I'm looking for a pair of front seats to go back to stock. Will consider either a good condition pair that are ready to use or a pair for refurb so long as Everything is sound. Light biscuit colour is what I'm after if you have a good pair. What you got?

My 72 crosser was fitted with non standard seats when I got her and I want to reinstate original style seats so that I can fit an over-seat bunk. Don't know too much about what I need but I believe that there are different seats for for early and late bays (which one for crossovers?), that...

Since my bus came back from a refurb my Propex heater doesn't seem to deliver the same amount of heat. It blows at the same rate but the air is cooler, kind of luke-warm. It didn't run for around a year while the bus was being refurbed but was always installed, positioned under the rear seat...

Recently my sliding door started to "snag" about halfway through it's travel. I took a look under the track cover and could see that the slider thingy was flapping back and forth (or rather in and out) instead of staying parallel to the track and hence was binding. Being a bit time-bound at the...

All prices plus postage. Prefer collection for the larger items (Heat exchangers, exhausts and inlet manifold/carb) or you could sort a courier. I'm in Brentwood, Essex Heat exchanger OG Beetle but I did a crude lever conversion so that it works in a bus - £35 Heat exchanger repro - OK...

Has anybody had this problem? After a recent long trip with absolutely no braking issues I pulled the handbrake on and it nearly ended up on the back seat! On inspection it turned out that the offside cable had come off of the pawl, the "hook" within the brake drum assembly. I found this very...

Following the butchery that was my respray, one of the many things I still have to put right is the sliding door. It shuts and locks fine but when it "pings out" on opening the latch mechanism at the rear of the door snags on the rubber seal. I have to pull (or push if I'm inside) the back of...

Thought I'd share some info regarding rear wheel camber as I know a few people have posted about this in the past. When I first got my bus it had a 2 spline drop on the rear with a corresponding drop on the front, obviously. There was also a corresponding amount of negative camber on the rear...

I'm trying to reinstate the "cap open" light and the interior light (fluorescent?) that was fitted just behind the driver/front passenger compartment. Having recently had the roof lining down I have found a green/white wire, from the cap up switch, that heads toward the front right screen...
