As the title says, I have an early 1970's vintage French trailer available for someone who can make good use of it. I acquired it several years ago and it's just sat in the garden since - but I'm having surgery on my leg the week after next and I promised my wife it would be gone before then -...

I have for sale a pair of vintage car badges; one is a St. Christopher with the legend "BEHOLD St. Christopher and go your way in safety" - very nice. The other is a Leo (Starsign) car badge with yellow background - matching border and fixing. Both are grill badges but I dare say you could...

Just spotted this - £200 and new, bargain! (No connection to seller): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-type-2-red9design-spax-front-beamcoilover-kit-/160569526720?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2562b089c0 ;)

I won this iTunes voucher at work :D but I've got an Android phone now and will be selling my iPod soon so this is redundant :cry: . Still has the security 'scratch-off' panel intact of course!! Will be posted via 1st Class recorded (included in £22 price) - I was going to stick it on eBay...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to build a full-width bed for the van as I'm quite a big chap ( :oops: ) - but I wondered how many have 3/4 width bed setups. Also, I wondered what folks do about cooking etc if they have a full-width bed (stick a porta-hob on the table...etc). Poll attached... ;)

Of course, I could just go out to the garage :lol: but I wondered if anyone had a diagram of the inside (bulkhead back) of a van with measurements on it - I'm sure I saw one posted on here a while back... ;)

I asked on 20th January if anyone lived near Crumlin, Newport (http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29071&hilit=newport) as I wanted to bid on a towbar for my Scooby but the seller wasn't keen to post - Mark Lewis (Oslo_mark69) very kindly offered to pick it up and wrap it for a courier...

I'm thinking of bidding on a towbar for my daily driver as it's nice and cheap at the moment - but it's in Crumlin, Newport and the seller doesn't want to post or even wrap it up for a courier :( I wondered if there were any nice Earlybayers in that neck of the woods that would consider...

I need to decoke the engine in the bug and wondered if anyone has ever used the 'pour a quart of diesel down the carb' method as outlined in Jon Muirs book 'Keeping Your VW Alive'? The idea is that you get the engine fully warmed up and then slowly pour the diesel down the carb (keeping the...

Hi, I have a sale pending on the Solex 30PICT-1 carb I've been looking for - but it's a 6v model and I need to know if my 12v choke can be swapped over without any further modifications. Is anyone able to confirm this for me??? many thanks Juss ;)

Hi all, I really need a Solex 30PICT-1 carb for my '67 Beetle - I'm happy to clean and rebuild one if necessary but it must be complete and servicable. What ya got??? cheers Juss ;)

Just spotted this on eBay - could make a hard-looking ride: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volkswagen-VW-T2-Baywindow-Panelvan-High-top-roof-/140483733227?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b57ba6eb ;)

Hope the mods don't mind but it's a question about my '67 bug engine (it is aircooled though!). It refused to restart the other day after a very short trip so I moved its winter service forward a couple of weeks: I've replaced the coil, plugs, dizzy cap, rotor, points and condensor. I've set...

I need to set the timing on the '67 bug (1300cc) engine tomorrow but I can't remember if I do it with the vacuum advance tube removed (and blocked off at the manifold) or leave it on? I've set it up statically before but wanted to check it with a strobe if poss as it needs to be running just...

Got a call from Joy earlier saying that her '67 bug wouldn't start - managed to jump start it in the end but it took a while and involved a trip home again to collect some heavy-duty jumpleads as the ones in her car were shit. She said she had been really low on fuel before a friend ran her...

Some time ago Loxy was kind enough to send me a spare set of new balljoint rubbers that he didn't need - I've now bought new balljoints so they're surplus to requirements and Matt (Loxy) has told me it's OK to pass them on... In the spirit that they were given to me for nothing I will of course...

I'm doing some serious 'Life Laundry' this week and I'd like to pass on a large amount of VW mags: Issues 1-12 Flat4 Magazine Issues 1-40ish TotalVW (the odd copy missing but I think 1-12 are there) Lots of VolksWorlds - some are pretty recent too! A few Camper & Commercial These need to be...

Just thought I'd post a link on here - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110578346408&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 i thought the price seemed a bit high - or is it just me? ;)

As title, wondered if anyone could identify this repair panel? ;)

I've bought a trailer for the van - it has similarities to Westy trailers of old although it isn't a Westy (pics to follow next week when I collect it) - but I don't know who made it. Below is a picture of a Westy trailer (thanks if it's yours - I pinched the pic from the forum) - my new one has...
