Just got my bus back after 10 months of being in the garage and I think that the clutch release bearing is knackered. It always made a whining noise when I depressed clutch but now the whining is there as well as an awful grinding/clack clack clack sound (there's also another nasty noise when...

I'm after a single 68 wiper arm (long story...), doesn't matter if it's a bit ratty, but am happy to buy a nice pair too if that's all that's going. Based in Spain so postage may be a bit extra but you wouldn't believe some of the heavy bus stuff I've had sent over here :lol:

Having a little trouble with my 68 drum brake bus braking unevenly. It's not too bad and still stops in a timely manner without having to wrestle with the steering wheel, but it's noticeable so it bothers me. It's completely random, sometimes doesn't do it for days and when it does, will pull...

Okay, was poking around the back of my engine bay and noticed the firm that set up my bus didn't bother securing the front tinware properly or add a seal over the gearbox. There also appears to be a missing piece - the doghouse tinware. Now I could be wrong but as I understand it, though my bus...

I'm after four standard early 14" wheels for my 68, would really prefer white so I don't have to mess around painting. Don't need to be perfect, just decent. However, am based in Spain. Anyone up for getting a quote? I know it will be expensive but I do get some pretty heavy stuff sent over...

Stupidly simple question klaxon: Just after a bit of general advice as I've never done this before and the idea of buggering it up makes me nervous! The previous owner of my bus' engine had used old nyloc nuts on the oil sump plate. I didn't replace them immediately so naturally one seized. Up...

Got a couple of brand new repro heat exchangers from GSF. Never fitted though painted in black hammerite as they were going to be fitted. Just checked and they're 82 quid each on the site but I'll take £100 for a quick sale. Haven't got a pic at the moment as they're at my dads garage but will...

I have a cut and turn beam for sale (just the bare beam, no leaves etc). Bought it to fit to my bus and was in very good condition from a cali import 1969 westie. Painted it with black hammerite to fit but haven't had time and I'm off to live in Spain in a few weeks so it's got to go. Decided I...

I've got a pretty rough front seat for sale, but looks like the springs are okay I think and all structurally there. No idea what it's worth - say £40-ish? Open to offers, I honestly have no clue and am just putting a price to meet the forum guidelines. Reckon you'd probably have to pick it up...

As above, really. I'm after a piece of deluxe trim for the cover bit behind the sliding door that curves around to the back (LHD, dunno if that makes a difference). Doesn't have to be new, in fact probably better that it isn't so it blends in with the rest - but decent condition would be good.

I've always been of the opinion that if you're hot in an old bus, you should open the quarter lights, suck it up and drive a little faster - maybe buy a fan too - but I'm in southern Spain at the moment and will be living here soon and it's a bit tough without air-conditioning. The drive down...

I've bought and fitted a kid's hammock bed for the cab area for my 8 month old but he's just at that age where he's rolling around and stuff so wanted to get a net to block off the area he could fall off. Has anyone got a recommendation for a net or something I could put up? I know JK sold them...

As above really, any chance anyone can tell me what this missing pipe is by the oil filler and if it's important? Was never connected with the bus. I think there's also one missing below it that goes to the crankcase or something? The only pipe I've got that does kind of fit from the air filter...

Note: I've just lifted this pic from MadMatz's eBay listing but can take another pic if needed. It's unopened, sat in my porch, and was never installed. Nice and thick and looks good. I bought it for an old bay but then got rid of it before the mat was fitted and this new one didn't suit the...

Haven't got my phone on me to take a pic at the moment but they're brand new from JK. Can't send them back as there's a bit of oil over the label (not the irons) and I left it too long but never fitted. Think I paid about 50 quid, so say 30 including postage but it'll be the cheapest I can find...

I need a standard steel wheel and tire for my stock 68. Within reason, doesn't matter what kind of condition its in as long as it's safe enough for emergency use to get me to a garage (so not split, slow puncture, or completely bald). Based in North Wales so will probably need posting but can...

Hi guys, I just had a leisure battery fitted by an air-cooled electrician and since then the generator light will often stay on for a few minutes (say up to 10 mins) while I'm driving. He's going to take a look at it next week but I'd like to sort it myself if possible before then. It starts...

As above, really. Anyone got a full set of thermo mats they'd like to part with? I'm based in North Wales, so probably would need posting unless you're local.

While bleeding the brakes today, the master cylinder started leaking a lot out of what I think might be the adjuster? (could be talking bollocks there, never touched brakes before except to adjust the stars on the wheels). Anyway, it appears to be as the French say, Le fucked. So I think I need...

Hi guys, was hoping to get my bus registered and was told I'd have everything to send off but this was the reply from DVLA "I have to reject your first registration application because of the reasons given below: You have not enclosed your original non-UK registration certificate or export...
