    1971 RHD Early with TDi Engine

    Here we have for sale my beloved 1971 Early Bay VW T2 with a few differences!

The van has had an engine conversion and now runs a 1Z TDI 90bhp engine from a late Audi...

    HI guys, Can you help me out please! I'm very confused. I want to lower the bay, just a little bit as it sits sooo high at the moment. I only want to go down a couple of inches at the most, we have a radiator under the van between the chassis rails so we need the air flow under there. What's...

    Westfalia Pop-Tops... Buying one

    Hi guys, Had anyone ever replaced a Devon roof with a Westfalia one? I assume I'd have to put a late bay one on as the hole for the Devon rood is in the back of the van with nothing over the cab!? Where would I find one? Anywhere apart from looking on eBay periodically? Thanks :)

    Fuel Gauge question...

    Is yours a little all over the place too? When I'm sitting idling, the needle vibrates, going round corners I expect it to move about I suppose, if I have the ignition off and put the hazards on the gauge will go from off the end to E with the hazards :lol: Is this pretty normal? Not something...

    Locks.... Is it possible to...

    Buy a matching set of either one or both door locks and a matching ignition lock? Or is it possible to buy both and have them both jiggled to work from the same key? The locks and keys on my bus are shocking, can take 10 or so attempts to lock/unlock a door or start it!

    Is a second hand dynamo/alternator worth anything?

    I know they are different things but I assume one of a 71' early bay is a dynamo? I've got one in the boot of my car that due to my bus not running a standard engine is no longer petrol powered ;) Is it worth anything or should I take it down the tip for the scrap metal man?
