Does anyone know what the height is of a standard campervan (bay and splitty)? I am going to build myself a garage soon, and as I am thinking of buying an old Type 2 to restore next year, I need to be sure that it will fit. Cheers

Hi, I lent my car to someone, and as they drove off, i noticed, when the hadlights are on, one of the rear red lights is a lot dimmer than the other. I fell for this before, but it ended up being the housing wasnt in as far as it could go. In this case it seems electrical. Any ideas?

Lovely and smooth around town power seems there,...

After running perfectly for a while, my '66 has decided to throw a tantrum and cunningly find new ways in which to confuse me Basically, when I am driving the car there is a lack of power in the second half of the gear ranges.
