    Rear light trims

    I've got horribly cheap rear light lenses, so bought some OG (hopefully!) chrome trims at Vanfest to tidy them up. Of course, they don't fit (the lenses are too wide). Are there different sizes (possibly spilt to bay ?) - looking at several vans, there were all sorts of detail differences...

    Interior lights

    I don't have any yet, and with winter coming it seems like a good idea. It's not a concours van, so I'm not fussed about using originals, in fact a modern LED would seem like a better option. Has anybody used any particularly good ones, which I might look at ? Thanks.

    Heater tubes

    I'm trying to get my heating working, as most of it was missing when I bought the van. I've got the concertina tubes, and the gaskets for the ends. Does it all just slot in, or do I need some clips as well ? VWH shows a clip for one sode but not the other, and the tube ends are pretty solid - I...

    Fuel pump expert needed !

    I'm struggling a bit here, and could use some help from an expert. Please be patient with my ramble, in case any of it helps. I've got an oil leak on my standard 1584, which appears to be coming from the pin on the fuel pump. When I'm driving, it will dump a load of oil. If I stop and clean...

    Indicator too fast

    My right indicator is now flashing about twice the speed it should be (the left still being OK). I have been fiddling about under the dash (replacing the ignition switch), so have probably done something, but can anybody give me a starter what to look for ? Also, the repeater on the dash is...

    Early Bay front tinware

    My '69 bus (twinport) came without the front tinware (ie the bit over the gearbox). I bought what I thought was the relevant bit and fitted it to the back of the engine, but there's still a gap of a few inches up to the body seal. Did I get the wrong piece, or is there another bit I need to...

    Anybody with a Dormobile ?

    I'm trying to put the bunks back in my Dormobile (one was present when I bought it, but the other was not fitted). The 2 bunks I have are slightly different from each other (which sounds sensible). Which side do they go, and which way up ? Also, I can't see how the bunk by the door fits...

    What was the craic at Stonor ?

    As a newbie EB owner, with 'some finishing touches' (shall we say) required to my new acquisition, thought I'd trog up to Stonor to see what everybody else's EB looks like and how they are normally finished. There were loads of (mostly lovely, had to be said) splitties out there in the...

    Fuel flap flapping !

    My fuel flap ('69 bus) is out of control. The retaining spring appears to have sheered off at the flap. I can't find any drawings of how it should be or spares. Can anybody help ? Thanks

    (Very) rare '69/'70 Dormobile 4/8

    I bought this, not knowing what it was, with the intention of ripping out what I thought was an unremarkable interior and putting something custom in. Now I've discovered that it's 'somewhat rare' (the only other one I know of is in Dave Eccles' book !). As I'm really after a simple domestic...

    Can anybody identify this interior in my '69 dormobile ?
