Thanks. Didn’t know about megabug

I couldn’t find a gasket anywhere so i bought a sheet of suitable cork gasket and cut one out. Problem solved! No more fuel leak or smell. Thanks for the help 🤙

Got a new gasket on order. Thanks for the help 🤙

Ah nice! Thats really helpful, thanks. I’ll try replacing the gasket and see how it goes. I’ve driven it 5 miles this morning and there’s a little puddle in the fuel neck retaining ring. (See pic) is there also a gasket between the body and the retaining ring? If so, can the retaining ring and...

Whilst driving, I’ve been smelling petrol for a little while but only inside the bus. I’ve been stopping and looking in the engine bay and under the van but no obvious signs of leaks or any strong smell of petrol. Today, I filled the tank more than usual. About 3/4 full. I headed off down the...

Hello. I’m looking for an external sun visor. Can be any colour and any condition. Preferably with all the fixings but not a problem if these are missing. Hoping someone has one tucked away in a shed or garage 🤞

These ones still use the bail arms so it was fairly straightforward to swap over. Would you use the blue hylomar on cork gaskets? Its too late this time as I’ve already fitted them but good to know for the future. Too late for the exhaust and heat exchangers… they’re covered in oil from the...

Only read this after fitting. Left them for about 15mins before starting the engine. Seems to be okay 🤞

Both new rocker covers and cork gaskets are fitted, oil topped up and engine run for a few minutes. All seems well, no drips or gushing leaks. I’ll take it for a drive tomorrow and see how things go 🤞 One thing to note on those Scat rocker covers is they have little tabs to hold the gasket in...

Thanks. I’ll give everything a good clean and fit them dry I think. I just need them to work for the rest of the trip until I can sort it properly. Anything will be better than the current ones.

Hopefully this is a simple one. I’m on holiday and my bus is leaking oil from the driver side rocker cover. It’s all over the exhaust and heat exchanger. I’ve luckily managed to find a shop selling a few spare parts. They only had some Scat ones so.. I’m about to fit some polished Scat rocker...

Haha. It’s not the best but it works good enough. EBay £25 kinda thing. If we’re ever at the same festival, I’ll make you a cheese and whole grain mustard toastie to soak up those Stellas.

I keep my dry foods in the cupboard under the sink. Cereals, tins, pasta, bread, eggs, etc.. I have one of those 12v cool boxes that I keep all my veg, fruit, milk, cheese and sometimes, meat in. I can squeeze a few beers in there as well. I don’t cook inside. Multi fuel hob and hot plate I...

Looks like your driven through the safari park and the monkeys broke into your van 😂😂

Looking really good and coming along pretty quick 🙌 It’s so good to have that knowledge. Wish I’d started years ago. I’m just getting to grips with leads, plugs and points at the moment 😀

Perfect! Thank you 🙏

Hello. Anyone got any ideas on how to stop this happening? I’ve pushed the rubber seal right up tight into it door but it still drops down every time I open the window. Hopefully the video uploads properly.

Currently using this 🤙

Ha! This is a great thread. Although I’ve not had my bus long, I’ve owned a few classic VWs. Mk1 and 2 golfs and a caddy. I always wave 🤙 and flash lights (if I’m quick enough). Just today, on my way home from work, a purple, westy latebay coming in the opposite direction flashed and 🤙 at me. I...
