    Solar panels are coming!

    Well I hope so anyway. We love free camping and off the grid but my leisure battery isn't keeping up so we're getting some panels installed here in Morocco. I always wanted one after seeing Alastair's setup and Neil's on thelatebay. Installation pics coming soon

    Bound for Glory - We're back!

    As some of you may be aware, I have been planning a European trip in my 71 Westy. Well the day has finally come where we have set off. It involves me, my girlfriend and our 71 bus, travelling through as many countries as we can in five months, once in a lifetime stuff really but something we've...

    Curtain tie backs

    This is going to sound daft but how do they work and does anyone have pictures? I had tie backs sent with my curtains and they have one popper on the actual tie back and a bag of poppers and screws. So do the spare poppers go on the bus and if so how does this then connect to the curtain? When...

    Lit up in the dash and when I first drove the bus scrambled noise came out of the speaker before the speaker went pop, so unsure if working. It's got a DIN socket if you want to connect your iPod. £30 incl postage or collect in Manchester

    How long does your starter battery last?

    How long should a starter last with just a radio on? I have a Retrosounds radio and had it on for a couple of hours which seems to have run down the battery, lights very dim and radio not turning on anymore. Not a big issue but need to be mindful of it for camping.

    Parcel Shelf Installation

    Got my bambus parcel shelf ready to install. I sortof get where the brackets need to go, but do you need to screw the parcel shelf to the brackets too? The kit came with 8 screws, there are 6 holes to screw to the body, leaving me with two screws left?

    Handbrake efficiency

    Had this on the last MOT so thought I'd have a go at sorting it, where to start, at the handle or wheels?

    Oil breather location with dual carbs

    So I've got my dual 36 DRLA's which means I removed the stock oilbath. As a result the oil breather isn't connected to anything, so I'm getting oil vapor all over my engine bay. It seems that most people vent this into the R/H carb airfilter like this: but then reading on the Samba some have...

    Broken down - again Part Two

    Drove from Manchester to Chester this morning and around Chester with no problems. Then on the way home on the motorway, complete loss of power. Pulled onto the hard shoulder. Engine turns over but doesn't fire. Definitely has fuel as I put £15 in 5 minutes ago. Any ideas? Electric fuel pump...

    What are these holes? And cooling?

    The one in the middle is for a flexi hose for my heat exchanger correct? This was just blocked off so i can reconnect that. But the one on the left, what's that for? It's just open like that, do I need to block it off? Will leaving it affect cooling? The one on the right, again, what is it and...

    Clutch/Gear driving issues

    Went for a quick drive out today and seem to be having troubles with first and second gear. When setting off in first it crawls, very little if any power despite high revs, likewise second, to the point that it will cut out/stall or I really have to baby it by pumping the accelerator until I...

    What's this pipe?

    Took the kick panel off and found it. Not connected to anything on the cab side but looks like it goes under the bus?
