I need one to carry two bikes, anyone got one on their bay? Where did you buy it and does it fit well etc.? Pics would be great. ;) Cheers.

Just having a look at my bus from behind and it seems to have a little more camber than it should on a two spline drop, how does your van look?

Who's using a starter battery as their secondary power source? How effective is it just using stereo, lighting and a couple of lighter sockets for phone/lappy charging? Cheers.

Hey, not seen you posting much lately, cat got your thumb? I'm beginning to miss your ramblings, give me a shout when you're back on form. :mrgreen:

Time to start gearing up for the summer - I want to replace the radio in my westy with something more modern, I'm not keen on cutting up interior panels to fit speakers though... What alternative have you got to inspire me? ;)

:mrgreen: Watching season one now.

Interested in writing a VIN, M-code decoding applet? I think it would be a great addition to the site and help remove the confusion regarding build dates etc. I'm no help with coding but happy to help researching and digging for info etc. ;) Anyone? :wink:

What header fits? Pics? Cheers. :mrgreen:

Who's running a 1776 or more in their bus? I'm giving serious consideration to having a motor built for mine, it's just too slow after my oval and daily MkIV TDi, so want to see what spec is good in a bus. Cheers.

I'm resigning to the fact mine has had it's day and I'm buying another good S/H one, but as I'll still have the old one; has anyone opened one up to rebuild, what's involved?

Anybody know the difference between pre and post '71 rear shocks? Maybe length? Cheers.

Good condition, light surface rust inside - nothing serious. £50 plus post.

Considering going to two now - will I need to notch the plates? How much will they drop when jacked up (to get wheel on)? Cheers.

Has anyone here tried welding hubs and drums or even discs to re-drill for 5x130? Thoughts please. :wink:

'Bout time I posted some pics of my bus - After a couple of months scouring the classifieds on thesamba I spotted this - After weeding through00's of ads and some scammers (6 of them) I had a good feeling about this one and mailed the seller, we spoke on the phone, more pics were...

Wanted - spreader bars and handbrake levers etc. for a 72, whatcha got? Cheers.

My bus came with a dreaded 009, which I think has some play in it and now I want to upgrade. I'm looking at either a 123 or Aircooled.net SVDA, has anyone any experience using either? What kind of improvements in running can I expect?

I need some confusion cleared up; I was ordering rear brake cylinders for my April '71 bus, asked for early cylinders and was asked if I had discs and servo up front - yes. I was then told I need late cylinders, so I went with that. They arrived today and the boxes clearly say from August '71...
