9 days after phoning Adrian Flux, the AA turn up to fit a new windscreen. I'd bought the seal, I think I got it from status VW. After an hour the guy calls me out to tell me he can't fit it, and will have to make another appointment for a two man team to come out, bringing their own seal. At...

I got home on Saturday evening, at about 8.30pm, and as I walked past my bus on the drive I could hear Xfm playing. Had a look through the bus window and the radio was on! They've broken the lock so that's another job to sort out before we go away. I've got an uber pedal lock, so that probably...

This might have been covered before, but even so this might be useful for 9 seat microbus owners. It seems that vehicles registered as having 9 or more seats, and not registered as a bus, qualify for a 100% discount on the London congestion charge. http://bit.ly/gJlE6G"...

With the almost daily adding of threads advertising fitted kitchens, I was wondering if anyone has ever bought one based on an advert on a forum? :lol: Surely they would be better off putting an advert in the local paper.

This is how it looked when it arrived. Not much different now, apart from it's a little bit lower, and it goes. Interior is hugely better now too.

Took my bus on its first proper camping trip at the weekend, so filled it to the brim for the first time. When I was a few miles down the road I realised that the fuel gauge was reading between a quarter and half full. Does this mean that I can adjust it to show roughly how much fuel is in the...

I've got the main window out, but how do I remove the quarter light?

Couldn't have been easier, just drove to Chelmsford DVLA office with US title document, MOT, insurance cover note, proof of age from Historic VW society, ID and a my cheque book. Filled in a few lines of the V55/5, and was told I'd get something nice in the post in a few days. I was so surprised...

I need a spare. The cheaper the better!

Did it work out cheaper than having them made? How many metres of material did you need? Thanks!

I've just finished watching the professionals on ITV4, and I saw four buses within a minute, two late bays and two splitties. Is this how life was back in Bodie and Doyle's day?

As there seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether our buses qualify for BTI, and therefore 5% VAT on imports from USA, I thought a thread for those who did get it might help people to decide whether it's worth applying. I'll kick things off because I've just recieved my letter telling me...

I've replaced my US headlights with UK legal lights, and before I throw the old ones away I thought I'd see if they were of any use to anybody. I won't post a photo as you all know what they look like. I'll put them in the post to the first person who wants to pay the postage.

I've started filling in my V55/5 form to apply for a tax disc for my US import. The guidance notes say that I should take a lot of information from the certificate of conformity. Can anybody tell me what this is and where I should get it from? All I seem to have is the title document from the...

Is it right that you must use commercial tyres on a bus?

After searching for what seems like days, I can't actually find a definitive answer to this question, so can we clear this up so that I can buy the bits that I need and fit them please? My bus is a 1972 US deluxe microbus, so it has an early front. I've read so many conflicting posts about what...
