Hi, I want to raise the front of my van by 20mm or so, but when I look at the adjusters on the front beam, they are already adjusted to the highest setting (i.e. at the bottom of their adjustment range - I did check by moving them up & that lowered it further). The adjusters have a lock nut...

Hi, Went for a run tonight & engine started running rough (wouldn't rev & tickover was low and lumpy), so pulled in to check and one of the dellorto carbs was leaking fuel. Seemed to stop leaking so tried to start engine, but wouldnt turn engine over, almost like the battery was dead (which it...

Hi, Fitted new pistons & seals to 944 callipers. Callipers were off for a few weeks, so flexible hose was clamped. Refitted callipers & bled brakes, but now can only get pressure on pedal after 5-6 pumps on pedal. When pressure is there, when holding pedal down, pressure remains & the pedal...

Hi, the other day the accelerator cable snapped whilst out on the motorway on my 70 Westy. The van was recovered, but when I got back home I noticed the brake pedal was going flat to the floor. If I pump it once it works ok. It has Porsche discs up front & drums at the back. There is no...

Hi, pretty much every time I take my 70 Westy out & above 40mph every now & then there is a loud mouse, almost like a stone has hit the van, but from the front of the roof and occasionally from the near side, but mainly the front roof. When it happens it makes you jump out of your skin! It’s...

Hi, I need the top & side bulkhead trim, for the passenger side, of my left hand drive Westy. Does anybody know where I can get it? Cheers

Hi, Has anybody fitted a third lap belt in the middle of a rear full width rock n roll bed? It's in a 1970 Westy & I need to be able to carry five people, so just wondered if anybody had done it and what they did. Cheers, Rich

Hi, I just started up my van and noticed that one of the dellortos (twin 36mm DLRA) was leaking fuel. Ive added a photo of exactly where the leak is coming from (see circled area). Any ideas how to fix? Thanks

Hi, I have 1970 westy with an adjustable beam & 2in dropped spindles. I recently fitted new Bilstein shocks & as they are a little (10mm max) shorter than the previous shocks I have virtually no travel left in the shocks. I have adjusted the beam, but it is at its highest ( :shock: ) which is...

Hi, Im looking to replace the front shockers on my van which has a lowered Weedeater beam 4 inch narrowed, with Wagonwest dropped spindles. Ive managed to get the shocker off, but am struggling to get the new one on because of the angle of the spindles... Any help would be appreciated! Cheers

Hi, I have a 1970 Westfalia which has been lowered. The rear is lopsided though (although not massively noticeable). The difference is about 15mm. It has been lowered using horseshoe brackets, which look like the have been fitted the same on both sides, so am I right in thinking the difference...
