I'm reluctantly selling my 68 Westfalia - if space and money were no object, I'd keep it, but sadly both are, and it's just not being used as much as it should be. It's a US import, brought into the UK in 2012 by vw camperco - it was solid but needed some TLC. Salient details below, but do...

I've had this for sale before, but, despite lots of interest, nobody seems to reply to my replies ... So I've still got it. It came from a running bus, so as far as I know, it works A- and at the price I'm selling it for, there still enough room for a full rebuild at Bears prices if needed...

I've got a 6 rib gearbox for sale - code CP01 069. was told it came from a running bus and worked fine, though I've only seen it out of a bus. I ended up fitting a freeway flyer, so this is now surplus to requirements. I'd like £550 for it, which should allow for some rework if necessary and...

Just a word of warning to the unsuspecting I took my 68 for MOT a few weeks back, relatively confident that it would pass. It failed last year, but only on steering damper and handbrake, so minor stuff, and it's since had a csp disc kit up front, all new suspension along with a few other bits...

As title really, left hand side for LHD - it's a 68 but, for once, I don't hink its a 68 specific part. cheers, Mark

I'm selling our khyam motordome sleeper. It was bought in July 2013 and only used once, for a week, in August last year. Exterior is perfect and,obviously, barely used. There is a small tear to the inner sleeping tent (caused by a teenager daughter trying to reach the hook up to charge her...

Mines had better days, so I need to replace - I'm sure I've been told that a 68 is different to other earlys, but I can't remember what the differences are. Does anyone know, or am I just making it up? By tailgate, I mean rear hatch, not engine lid. Cheers

For a 68 westy, but for once, I don't think they're any different Cheers, Mark

I think all the bits are there, but not connected, so whilst I can open the tailgate, I can't keep it open. Perhaps it's disconnected because it's knackered - but I can't find any diagrams of what it should look like, nothing in the Bentley manual. I also need to get hold of the plywood panel...

My new 1955 has just made it to the Midlands courtesy of Laurie Petitt, which means my current engine is surplus to requirements. It was in my bus when it was imported last year - serviced by vw camper co in Feb and has run faultlessly since. Starts first click, pulls well and seems happy to...

Got a bit carried away over the weekend, and what was intended to be a quick clean up Oof the inside resulted in me taking all the furniture out, so, bar he front seats, the van is more or less bare. Plenty of shite underneath, but once hoovered out and washed, all seems solid, just a little...

I want something quick and easy for weekend/overnight, so a canopy rather than an awning seems to fit the bill. Trouble is, nobody seems to have any in stock - and haven't since tail end of the summer, when i started looking. Think I've tried the obvious places, looked at khyam which says...

Unfortunately, it was me - bus booked in for some welding tomorrow (and to lower it a bit), realised this morning that mot ran out a couple of weeks back, so thought I'd best get it sorted. Managed to find someone who could test today, popped into the garage to check all was ok, turned the key...

Anyone been in touch with him over the last couple of weeks or so? Spoke to him a couple of times in January, agreed a build spec, expected to get confirmation before the build started, but can't make contact, despite emails and a few voicemails. I think, by his own admission, he's not always...

Is there a setting that I've got wrong? They're sat in my outbox, but can't find anything to help them on their way

Wasn't sure if this was technical or general - posted in technical and only got one response, so i guess it's more general I've had Absolute VW in Donnington, Derby reommended for welding work. I'm also looking at a new engine, nothing fancy, just a 1776 with a bit more pulling power. I've...

Bit disparate ... Taking the advice from people on here, have now got my engine reliable but decided I need more grunt. Have been discussing options with Absolute VW in Donington - I've seen positive reports about their welding and such like, has anyone used them for engine stuff, particularly...

Taken the advice of people on here and decided solid and rustic is the way forward, so first proper job of the winter is welding. I need a battery tray and passenger floor - and maybe more ... I know of usual suspects in and around derby, absolute vw and Johnson autoworks, but presume they will...

answer to the first bit is 'everyone', i guess i've got a LHD 68 Westy pop top. New to me this year, first UK owner. It got through it's MOT in Feb, before I bought it, although I was there when it was carried out - only warning was a leaking CV boot I think. It's since had new shocks at the...

Once again, showing my lack of knowledge, becoming a bit of a theme I'm afraid ... and I'm assuming this is too general to be technical? I've got LHD 68 westy with a knackered padded dashboard - is it just RHD that came with metal dashboards, or did some LHD? I'm sure I've seen LHD with...
