    Unstable timing with 123 dissy

    ta mate, I'm scratching my head but I think I've had it a 2-3 years, and I got it from volksbolts through VZi when he was still selling them. Cheers for the heads up and it may be worth checking whether he's seen this type of thing before :)

    Unstable timing with 123 dissy

    Hi folks, I’ve got a bit of a niggle under the bonnet (1600 type 1 lump) and wondered if any of you could shed some light on it? The last couple of times I’ve set the timing I’ve noticed that it isn’t particularly stable - it probably flicks by a couple of degrees every so often – which I...

    Peculiar carb/choke/float chamber observation...fuel leak!

    Cheers for the reply Gill- it sounds plausible and after a trouble-free holiday the same thing happened this morning...I have a set of the volksbolts fuel line to replace the braided line with and I should start with the pump-carb section and see if it helps :mrgreen: Could this also indicate a...

    Wanted: wiper motor and switch

    Hi folks, I'm after a wiper motor and 2-speed dash-mounted wiper switch for a '72 model year crossover. Ideally, it must be tested or at least have been working when removed! Hope someone's got some tucked away as the poor old bus is sitting there getting a grubby face at the mo... :mrgreen...

    Securing load to roof rack...

    Cheers for your replies dudes :mrgreen: PS Lovely bus Chris and I think I might go down the DIY cargo net route too as my rack is a slightly funny size being an Aussie one- net with elasticated cord round the edge looks the nuts 8)

    Cleaning headliner material

    Ello again, I have some bed boards to go up in my pop-top which consist of ply boards covered in the perforated headliner material- they're pretty grubby and I was wondering what people use to clean this type of material? As it is backed by boards I should at least be able to use some...

    Securing load to roof rack...

    Hi folks, I now have a 2 bow roof rack above the cab but am struggling to find a decent cargo net to fasten the load down with- the elasticated net I bought turned out to be crap and is still loose as a goose even when I stretch it over the rack as much as I can! Just wondering what you all use...
