The Mrs is off camping ( she's my brake pumper) so went and bought one today. Have to say, hats off to it.... it's only a bottle, pipe with a ball bearing in it and a piece of plastic, all for £7: 45 but it did the job tip-top, you need to shave the edge of the plastic retainer to clear the...

Peeps, whipped the hub caps off today as need two new boots on the front. Bought a set of stainless steel dome at Busfest 5 years ago off Wolfsburg's classic parts ( disclaimer here as they are friends) but as with everything, you never know how things will last ( made in China and all...

Hello All, after those nice chaps of the caravan living/ lay-by fly tipping kind stole my full gas bottle from the shed ( along with other things) my fault, as being a trusting type, it wasn't locked... I have had to get another bottle to trade in off marketplace for £20... but finding a full...

Hello all, been down to the bus today to sort it ready for Busfest.... and the blighter won't start, had an issue with it a few times now and can clean up the solenoid connections or twat it with a hammer and it'll join in but not today... it spins when I bridge it with a screwdriver but not...

Hello All, Whilst talking with a chap the other day (the mice had eaten 3 wires on his Kabota) I remembered to scope the van, as last year, the blighters had eaten a blanket and built a house behind the passenger's seat... this time it's just the engine seal so I have left...

Hello All, I am going to make a start on my 65 bug and decided to do it myself as I can't find someone to do it for peanuts.... So, I am looking to spend a couple of hundred quid on a gasless mig. Does anyone have enough knowledge on this subject to recommend which one to go for please.

Hello All, just opened up the van ( it is Easter...) the mice have been in there again so this time I have left them some Blue blocks to eat ;) Whilst cleaning out the nest in the back of the bench seat I turned over a tin of big soup that was out of date in 16, should be good for a while yet...

Hello all, I bought some sun visors last Busfest and they need a fluff up before they go on: has anyone found anything under their sink that will clean them well?

Hello All, if like me, you are a bit of an air-head, in more ways than the van thing... and have only a rough idea when your insurance is up, look it up! Only by chance today whilst I was emptying crap from my in-box I found last years insurance and none for this year.... on ringing them up it...

Hello All, Another spring has sprung and ergo, another sender unit has died in the tank over winter.... now, as a rule I buy the £30 - £40 ones as I expect them to die. This time I am thinking of the £80 number, in the hope of getting two years out of it... so my question is...

Hello all, One job afore the sun comes out is to fit a split charger, had a look on Flea-bay and was swamped by choice..... I know bugger all about this subject so something that contains everything one would want and is easy as would be good, looking for quality over cheap. Any...

Good day Gents, The bus starts as sweet as you like but, is a mare to get going once it has run for a time, bit of a issue as need to put petrol in the blighter to go anywhere and that means stopping whilst warm...... Looking for a few pointers to check out as like to...

Hello Chaps, I have a 71 X-over that turned up with a bumper un-fitted, I think it may be from a split as is angular in shape and the hangers seem to point into the air with a towing eye top 'n' bottom on the right One. When offered up to the bus the hangers are some 100 mmm narrower between...

Gentlemen, Read on if you are to register an import and you have no NOVA...... Mine was an odd case but don't get caught out. I bought my bus from a chap who had bought it from the chap who imported it, it turned up with just a photo-copy of the import paper from the shipping...
