    Finally got one!

    Lovely looking westy. Perfectly normal to go through period of regret, hate, unreliability, expense until you get it to the stage it’s reliable and you make some awesome memories. Hang in there and enjoy!

    Westy Roof Racks - what do you carry ?

    I also use the nlavw bag. Had it a few years and mainly put bedding in it. Never had a leak but beware when I first got it and held it up to the light it did have some pin holes in it. However on a run and when it tight the water just runs off. This summer I left a couple of things in it and...

    KAYAK ON ROOF?

    I haven’t but I saw two, 2 weeks ago near croyde with one on. One had high roof bars from the gutter rails so must have to remove when they want to pop the top and the second had them fixed into sides of westy pop top. Think I’d feel happier with the first!

    Beetle exhaust on a 1600 early bay westy

    Think I’ve seen it done twice now including today in the early Bay Area at Stanford hall. Sadly no one around to discuss. So although I’ve heard it can’t be fitted, it looks like it can. I quite fancy the nice little beetle engine sound. Anyone able to expand, thanks :D

    Running very hot

    Brakes binding lightly? Enough to make the engine work harder and overheat?

    North Devon (Dog friendly) Campsite recommendations...

    Yep good idea stu, nice area. We done the one over the road and up a bit and was good for the kids.... Watermouth Valley Camping Park. Was particularly good for kids as they had a slope that they got wheeled sledges out for kids and did tractor and trailer rides for the kids every night.

    Just Kampers new empi disc brake kit

    I saw that but when I checked my bus it fitted with a different one and needs two connectors on the side for electrics. Fellows didn't offer that they could. Just brought CSP kit for 14 inch wheels as got a decent discount of at just kampers. Just got to fit it now!
