    Android-compatible satnav stereos

    Can I ask how the device is attached to the dashboard? For the ultra-gauge, what OBD set-up do you have?

    Lap belts

    I’ve read these are only legal (and so coverable under insurance) if you need them for genuine obesity reasons ans you can’t use a standard belt. Not sure if it actually states this in any actual legislation.

    Lap belts

    The rear lap belts which were added to my '73 T2 would struggle to fit anyone with more than a 30 inch waistline. Any recommendations fof where you can get longer lap belts? Thanks

    Android-compatible satnav stereos

    I was thinking about one which can be temporarily mounted on a stand and removed when the van is empty. However, I think even a cheap and nasty retro radio would be easier to operate than what I have - what make is yours??

    Android-compatible satnav stereos

    Evening everyone, I'm looking at options for replacing the very fiddly stereo in my van and was thinking about going all 21st century and getting a touchscreen bluetooth satnav/stereo. There's a space on the dashboard which can potentially accommodate one. Any suggestions?? Thank you!

    An inspection calls…

    Hi, I’m new to the world of VW T2s and am looking at purchasing a 1973 Bay. Before doing so, I’d like a specialist mechanic to give it a thorough inspection. Are there any recommendations for people or companies who can undertake this? I think the likes of an AA or RAC inspection aren’t going...
