H8 all, I am doing a bit of a fit out on the bus but I can’t find my sliding brackets that the buddy seat fit too. I am guessing there won’t be any up for sale, but are there any other alternatives instead? Thanks

Hi there, does anyone here run a bus with a John Maher engine? I only ask as I was talking to him last week about building me a type four motor and I was wondering if anyone else has one. I know it will be a long time before I get it but I want to get some bodywork done, update the brakes and...

Hello all, I am looking at getting the camper painted later this year but someone mentioned getting the shell galvanised. Is that an option or does it cost a fortune and potentially warp the body? Thanks

Here she is. 20 year ownership this year and a lot of time and money spent over the years.

Morning all - I just moved up to Stockton from Cardiff. Having had the camper for 20 years this summer I haven’t a clue where to get some paint, rewire, rear seatbelts and a petrol heater installation. Nearest I can see is down in Halifax. Is there anyone else around these parts who is...

Hi all, well I have been looking again at rack and pinion options. Threads point to a couple of options but where is the best to go for my crossover? Power steering would be nice if it was an option. I fancied the Creative Engineering option but that seems to have disappeared

Hi All My first post for a while as the camper has not seen much action of late. I am getting him back this winter ready for Spring 2015 and have quite a bit to do in terms of recommissioning. First things first though; I need a new loom and rewire. Who is the best source of a loom for a...

Hi all, probably been asked a million times but where is best place to get bumper step rubbers? I used to use Status VW but I am not sure for bumpers. Is VW heritage ok? I also need engine lid rubber too so any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks

My Devon is down for a refresh at the moment , bit of bodywork and new paint. Montana Red under pastel white here we come. I have purchased remade Devon cushions from Bromsgrove Auto Trimmers ( they are stunningly original) and two weeks away from picking it up. can't wait!

Hi all, I need to replace 1 arch (possibly both) on my Crossover but I am told they are special order at £250 each for a complete arch and step, which seems a lot. Am I able to buy a late arch and an early step and match them or is this too simplistic? Cheers

Hi, anyone got a straight ish bumper for my crossover or something workable? Van having some paint this winter and I want to put the right bumper on it. Cheers, Dylan

HI all Thinking about our trip to France and the strain of the 5-up + luggage trip to Cornwall, I was thinking of a bigger engine that the Vege 1800 I currently have. What's the best option - do I go for a bigger 2100 - 2400 and keep the 1800 (just in case) or is it better to have the 1800...

Hi we are looking to replace our curtains with some blackout ones. However, does anyone have curtains in the pop top and how are they attached? I have seen them but can't see how they are fitted. Cheers Dylan

Hi After much deliberation we bought the Vanfest tickets last night. Bloody hell they are expensive and that's without the "entertainment" which is an extra fiver per person, per night, which we did not buy as dogs are not allowed in the marque. That does mean Kerry Katona won't be in there...

Hi, I have an earlier buddy seat on my Devon, but the sliders don't have the "stop" fitted, so it slides back and forth, unless I wedge it. Does anyone have any pictures of the bit that should be there? (I hope all this makes sense?) I am a bit iffy about driving with kids in the back and a...

HI, A mate busted one of the door locks on the camper in Cornwall last year as the barrel fell apart. I am thinking of getting a complete set of locks and ignition so it runs on just one key. I seem to remember somewhere doing this but cant thinks who it was. Any ideas and is it likely to be...

HI all, First post in a while as the van has been off the road having surgery for ages. Quick question - my engine is a stock 1800 aside from twin Dellorto DRLA36's. What do I set the ignition to? I am told its between 8-10 before top dead centre. Is that about right? cheers Dylan

Off to Watergate Bay in the camper today for the bank holiday weekend. The omens look good as it sailed through the MOT (well after a brake light switch and brake adjustment) and they reckon it wont rain until tomorrow. Bargain. I will not be doing the Run 2 The Sun though.

Hi, after having the camper tuned and 36 Dells re-jetted last year at Raceshack, it is running like a beauty. However, when the engine is switched off it seems to run on for a few seconds before cutting out. This seems to have got a little worse and my local mechanic has said that this is likely...

HI, when I open the sliding door, which seems to have dropped slightly at the hinge end, it catches and will open only if I pull the door at the hinge away from the body. The lock of the door seems to catch with the side of the body / rubber. Can the door be adjusted and would this be due to it...
