    Non Conductive Steering Coupling

    Hi, I have a 72 bay. I've changed my steering coupling for a vw genuine one, but found it is slightly conductive. It's not enough to bring the horn on, but once you press the horn, it won't turn off. I have read others have had this problem. So, if the vw genuine is no good, what do other...

    WTD: Steering column insulator

    Hi, I'm after the insulating part that goes on the steering column around where the ignition lock goes through it. It's for a 73 bay. Mine seems to be missing, which I guess why my horn doesn't work right. I can't seem to find anyone who sells it, so please let me know if you have one. Thanks...

    WTD: Fridge

    I'm on the look out for a fridge where you don't need to put two huge vent holes in the side of the van. I think the electrolux RM 123 is such a fridge, where it draws air from underneath and vents it out the top back into the van. If anyone one has such a fridge for sale please let me know...

    WTD: Steering Keylock Shroud

    Rear Bumper For Sale - Very Straight, Newly Painted

    For sale is a very straight, freshly painted rear bumper. I bought it as it was advertised as a cross over bumper. However, when I came to offer it up, it's clearly not wide enough.
