A full set of bed and seat cushions for a 69 Devon Torvette conversion, featuring the pull out bed. The foam and facing materials are as new whilst the ‘box’ edges are original restored vinyl. See photos. These are on Gumtree for £30 but I’ll happily knock a tenner off for an EB member. The...

Long time no post...been busy. Anyway, tootling down the M6 this week at a steady 60, red generator light comes on so I turn off the ignition and coast to the hard shoulder. It is, of course, p***ing down with rain. I open the lid to find that the alternator shaft has sheared at the point...

I have put my VW Motent on ebay with a starting price of £9.99 and reserve of £75. It is in pretty fair condition, with some fading due to use in the sun and a tear where the sliding door caught the bit that attaches to the van. Complete with poles, walled groundsheet and curtains. It was...

As above; the extinguisher in the engine bay is losing pressure, and I am concerned that should it be needed it won't be effective. It is about three years old. I read somewhere that the valve on the rear of the head can be attached to a standard forecourt airline but that did not work. It...

As above really. I have decided not to carry a spare (I know, I know...) but was wondering if anybody knows what the MOT requirements are. Do I need to pop my spare back on board for the MOT and, if so, does it have to be restrained (I have made better use of the wheel well)? Anybody...

...would it look like this? :lol: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34589969/google-worker-23-living-in-van-in-staff-car-park-to-save-money

I bought a hot start relay from Just Kampers ages ago and have never got around to fitting it. Now is the time. Yes, I know, there are loads of previous postings on this topic, but the trouble is this, that the instructions on JK's site (nothing came with it) are totally different to what...

Selling a spare wheel mount for the front panel. Comes complete with bolts. It is made of good quality heavy gauge metal. It came with the bus, and I'll never use it, so I am selling. £10 plus £5 postage (it weights 1.2 kg). Can take to Stanford Hall.

Selling an original VDO Tashometerwerkes 12v clock, good working order and keeps good time. This has been strapped to my parcel shift and running for the past year or so, and I'd rather see it in its rightful place, in a dash pod. I removed it so that I could install a tacho. It is stamped...

A heads up that I am selling a Devon roof cap, the one made by JK. Good condition, ready drilled, and no cracks or dings. Colour coded in Lotus White. It is parked up against my house wall at present, so is awkward to photograph, but there are pics on JK's site where it sells for just short...

Just read this in my local free rag. According to Heritage Insurance, as soon as you buy your new bus, any existing tax is void and refunded (in whole months) to the seller. The virtual tax disk immediately ceases to provide cover. In order to drive the bus home, it needs to be taxed, and for...

Dusted my Motent off yesterday for Aircooled 14 and was reminded that my current poles are buggered where the cross-members join the uprights. Has anybody got a set they want to shift, or does anybody know who sells reproduction replacements? :?: As a last resort, if I can't get hold of...

Actually it is only the grill assembly that I need. Anybody got a grill assembly going spare? If necessary I'll take the whole cooker at the right price, though I don't need the whole swing out unit. Anybody? Kev

A funny thing happened on the way out of Stanford Hall yesterday. Just as I was driving off the main field, a guy came hobbling out of the ice cream queue, caught enough of my attention for me to pull over, and promptly announced that he was the second owner of my bus, from 1973 to about 2003...

Met some nice folks at Stanford Hall yesterday, none more so that the chap who was interested in the linkage on my twin Kadrons. Fast forward about 20 miles up the M1 and a sudden loss of power. Yes, the linkage had come adrift from the carb. :cry: That will teach me to let a stranger...

I am missing a section of front tinware and plan to replace it over winter on the basis that VW thought it was essential to seal the top of the engine bay from the bottom. I understand that argument and it often gets repeated in the forum. However... ...is it has been suggested to me that...

As the title says. Must be the T2 version specific to bays, and be fully functional. If anybody has one that they want to part with, pm me with your best price and roughly where it is located. Cheers. Kev

It's like the Marie Celeste on here just now...what's going on, anybody know? :?:

I recently got this off fleabay and although I can get it to text me its position, I cannot get the actual GPS function to work. The middle of the three lights never illuminates. I have installed a SIM and set it up as per the instructions. I can text it and it responds with Googlemap...

I have one of these, it is a well made piece of kit, but it is costing me £6.99 a month for it to be monitored. Has anybody ditched the subscription and successfully managed to track their bus using the GPS as a standalone device? If so, any tips on how to do this would be appreciated. BTW -...
