Hi i'm after a westy curtain rail to fit the rear hatch Cheers Gareth

Hi, kinda stupid question really, but I was reading a post by someone who rebuilt their sink pipe work, pump handle etc, and got to thinking I never use my sink (apart from storing stuff in it) in my Westy. Do any of you use it for its intended purpose? Any pics of it in use? ;)

Hi, have a '71 poptop for a westy (both sections), good front hinges, uprights missing roof fixing, and some cracks to rear luggage part. Will post up pictures tonight. Want in the region of £125 for both bits collection from Edenbridge, Kent. Many thanks Gareth Listed on ebay item no...

Ok so I run the standard carb and distributor and air cleaner, I've got the same set up in my bug. I can set up the bug carb ok and it runs well. I set up the bus one (rebuilt solex with no shaft play), but on the initial settings of 2.5 turn out on the mixture screw I get a pulsing where it...

Hi i'm after a US pin plug to go in my westy socket, I have mailed Frank but if anyone has one they don't want/need? Cheers

Ok so if you swap to a K & L beam, my understanding is that your torsion tubes are closer together meaning your lowest one is somewhat higher than a bay type. There by giving you greater clearance when lowered. So having said that my van is a '71 which uses the later beam pattern so a straight...

Back from the show, really enjoyed it (probably because i bought a few bits!), here are some pictures (slightly beetle heavy), feel free to add some of your own

My van (westy) has been parked up outside for a few months and not a lot going on with it, but its now back on the road. I have noticed I have a lot of moisture in the area just under the seats, right by the doors in the foam under the rubber which was particularly damp. And its gone down onto...

Well I was ready to take the test (or at least the van was) but i'd planned to go the following Saturday because I wouldn't have my kids with me and so on, anyway a mate says he's going to get a test so I ask him on the off chance to let me know if there were any spaces for later in the morning...

Ok so i've got T2D 3.5" dropped spindles on my van, ride is good, the only thing was on my original tyres when i went into a dip the tyres would sometimes bottom out on the floor where the front seats mount. I changed wheels and tyres and basically lost 20mm from the diameter (now 165/55 15)...

Hi, i'm after a washer jet, or at least the ball with the hole in it as mine is missing from the housing and guess what its MOT time :roll: It looks like its a grey colour but maybe thats just age! Cheers Gareth

Well happy, couldn't seem to log in here for a few days, tried asking for email my password and stuff but nothing came through, just randomly tried to log in again and it worked! woohoo, well happy again, was feeling quite crap not being on here properly! :lol: Gareth

When I go to open my sliding door (having greased the runners and oiled the arm area) it just stays shut and I have to coax it out usually by pulling on the arm at the rear of the door, is there anything else I can do so that it wants to open? Maybe new rubbers will make it want to pop out? Gareth

Well i've finally ditched the mile high club, and got my van down (front at least!). Fitted the T2D dropped spindles, took a bit longer than I wanted but I was on my own and there were a few things to figure out like removing the eccentric bush from the old balljoints and removing/installing the...

Hi, wondered if anyone could shed some light on these seat covers, they seem to be different the ones in my bay, the lines between the basket weave is sewn on these where as its molded on mine and the pattern is slightly different too, mine: And the seat covers: Are these from an...

Not literally fallen off, but there must be a tear/split in the diaphram, cause every time I press the brake at idle it goes to stall and when I release the rev's rise again. I checked the pipe from the manifold to the servo, and found that to be sound, so all that leave's is the servo. Has...

Hi i'm thinking about replacing my worn and ripped poptop tent, and thought i'd pick the brains of you knowledgable lot! :lol: Whose can you recommend, have fitted or should avoid etc. Cheers Gareth

Its snowing! Snow flake right in front of lens! Thats better Glad I've fitted some OG heat exchangers to the Bug! Gareth

Hi there, i've got a '71 campmobile and need to replace the front seat covers, but what colour should they be in the TMI materials? I have a pic of the current seats below. Is it the beige basket weave? Any thoughts or pics of what you got? Mine:
