I have pretty much decided to sell my camper, i'm 85% certain but personal circumstances leave me with the need for a more modern car, but we'll see! I said i'd never sell so it's a bit of a feeler at the moment, but I won't mess anybody around. 1971 Dormobile Early bay. Right. Engine. Recon...

I recently bought this Unit brand new at the cost of £109. It is to suit a 009 dizzy. Here's the Petronix blurb.. The Ignitor II is an improved and updated electronic ignition with all the features of the Ignitor I plus a powerful micro-controller which senses current levels in the coil and...

Just got the bus how I like it....and now, the engine appears to have rolled a seven... Drove fine to Volksworld and back, around 2 hours each way. On Sunday, it felt rough and sluggish, so yesterday morning I popped in to a local Aircooled specialist near my house (SGS Aircooled). Good bloke...

I thought i'd get the ball rolling...so here are some EB pics from the show today for you guys that couldn't make it. Kudos to Deano for sorting it all ;)

I usually drive my bus (1600) on the motorway at about 55mph. The engine seems quite noisy though like its straining? It's got 185 / 65/ 14 tyres on the back, but it sounded the same with standard size tyres. It drives 100%, just seems to have quite low cruising speed! It will go faster if I...

Hey Early Bayers Due to an 11th hour wheel change I idea I am just seeing if there is a market for these? 5x112 bay steels, painted in Cloud white. Fitted with 185 x 65 x 14 tyres which have done about 300 miles. I have added red wall flaps from Fifty Six Delux which I think look cool. Also...

Happy Monday guys. Has anyone got a pic of a bus on either Anthracite BRM's or EMPI 5's? 5x112 if possible so I can get an idea.... Cheers ;)

Morning guys.....annoying when kids get up at THE CRACK OF DAWN on a Sunday huh? :? Still, gives me chance to mooch 'round on here for a bit. I"m going to buy some wheels in the next week or so and i'm tempted with some Anthracite BRM's. Has anyone got a pic of these fitted to a van? This...

Hey guys, I am taking the family down to Cornwall for a week in late June. It'll be my wife and I and our 20 month old daughter. We're in Southampton and Cornwall is a bit of a trek in one hit, so the plan is maybe a stop off point on the way down in Devon and do the same on the way back. Can...

Has anybody got some of these wheels they want to sell? I need good condition if possible! Pref. Silver / Anthracite but i'm easy....

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I can get one or two buddy seats from? I can't seem to find much.... I'm thinking just MDF stool type jobs. I could always make one i suppose, but I thought i'd try and buy one first! Cheers

Not fussed on colour really - does anybody have some they want to sell? A set of 4 would be handy! :roll: Cheers

Is it possible? I swear i've seen it somewhere. I'm not the biggest fan of the 'flat' hubcaps and baby moons don't float my boat either...so, is it possible to put the early more domed style hubcaps on narrow 5 steels? :roll: I was thinking the JK ones to be honest... Cheers

I've got a set of Vauxhall wheels on my Bus that I no longer need. Polished finish, three good tyres - one is low. Even though its low, it still passed the MOT just last week. Tyres are 195 / 60 / 15. Wheels are in good condition, some curbing and the odd scratch, but over all about 7/10...

Yesterday my engine decided it wanted to tick over really fast all of a sudden. Almost to the point where if I took my foot off the accelerator it would drive itself. :? When I stopped to check, everthing seemed fine. After all, its only done 50 or so miles since it's first tune up on a...

I thought it was high time I showed my bus - seeing as it's finally on the road! I aquired it in March this year and, well, lets put it this way - the underneath was solid so it seemed like a good buy :roll: . On the way home about 10 miles into my journey the engine blew due to a massive oil...

I have just taken my '71 Dormy out for its first spin since March, having fitted a new engine, interior, respray etc. I was amazed at how spongy the brakes are? They do work well, but they only seem to bite when the pedal is depressed two thirds of its travel. To bring the bus to a quick stop...

I'm after a set of four standard wheels 5x112 fitment. With or without tyres! Anybody got a set knocking around? :roll:

I need a rear side window for my '71 bay... has anyone got one knocking around? :roll: If its close to either Southampton or Maidenhead that would be good.... Cheers

I've stripped out the interior from my recently purchased '71 Dormobile. It's the complete interior, from memory I have... 3/4 bench seat and bed thin stand alone cupboard that slots in behind the passenger seat complete sink unit with all cupboards and space for cooler box (which all fits down...
