    WITHDRAWN - 1970 Westy for sale

    After 10 years of having a great time at shows and camping, we are looking to sell our camper. The kids have got too big! She is LHD and had been imported from Ramona in San Diego County, California. Since I've owned her she has been maintained with no expense spared. We have upgraded or...

    Cutting out for the first 10 minutes...

    So, the bus is starting first time and running at idle. I wait on the drive for a few minutes. Then I drive for 5-8 minutes and it cuts out when I stop at junctions. I stop, wait a bit and carry on and it doesn't cut out anymore. As it doesn't do it after a while, I guess it rules out a problem...

    Different size tyres front and rear

    I’m getting some new tyres, and found out something interesting. According to my local tyre garage, my insurance might be invalid if I have larger size tyres on the rear and smaller tyres on the front. Anyone know if that's right? Maybe that counts as non standard. I've had 185/65/R15 on the...

    I'm looking for a Trimmer in Surrey or Hampshire with a lock up. I know a trimmer that would leave the bus on his driveway while he had the bus, but I would prefer it to be locked away. I need the front seats, rock and roll bed and buddy seat recovered. Any recommendations would be great...

    Certifying a Propex by a Gas safe engineer

    I've heard Propex heaters in 'caravans' must be installed and signed off by a Gas Safe registered fitter. Failure to do so is a criminal offence. I've also heard from other people installing it yourself is not a problem but you need it signed off by a gas safe engineer. But Propex say a Propex...

    Mounting Inverter in Westy rear cupboard

    Anyone mounted their inverter in the Westy rear cupboard? Just wondering if the shelf is strong and stable enough to fix it to, and if the space in there is enough to keep it cool? It's a 1000w inverter.

    Paint or no paint?

    Practically every panel has a dent scratch or a bit of surface rust. I've had the front valance welded (big dent) and the battery tray was shot and the rust went through the rear quarter, so that needed welding. I went to a paint shop and they suggested I left it as it was, just put clear...

    Interior light on a Westy

    Does anyone have a picture of an original interior light on a LHD US 1970 Westy? The one that goes above the table on one of the side pieces of the wood headlining, not the dome light above the driver and passenger.
