Hi all, I've just come in from the garage a dissapointed man. I have just replaced the dynamo on my 1976 VW Camper to find it gives hardly any output whatsoever, which is why I replaced the old one. I'm not familiar, with dynamos so I had to reference the haynes manual

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some 25mm Fire retard accoustic and thermal insulation, as I have started to restore the old bus and want to fit some good insulation, rather than the polystyrene that used to be there

Hi all, I've had a problem recently with my aircooled VW. Basically at one point it really struggled to start, and I stopped when I noticed smoke from the back, so I turned the ignition off & went to investigate - and found thick grey smoke coming from the exhaust. I phoned a local VW guy who told me that occasionally an aircooled VW engine will dump a load of petrol into the sump,...

Hello $Friend I just came across something so innovative, I thought you would appreciate being one of the first I notified. I recently discovered the simplest way for you and I to build a passive income from the Net. It's not like anything you have seen before, trust me. It's so far ahead of anything else I have seen, I know you'll be as excited as I am. The best part, it's free to join and...

There are Type2 campers now on sale based on vans built in Brazil. Does anyone have experience of these, please. After being stung by a rogue dealer of used campers a couple of years ago, I feel ready to buy new and one of these may be a good option. Any comments would be appreciated -- John

Have you checked to ensure you are supplying fuel to the left side? All your throttle linkage working correctly? Brasso "Tone" wrote in message ...

Could someone put my mind at rest and tell me what sort of body should the 1967 Beetle have (UK model)? Should it have a long bonnet with upright headlamps, and a short engine lid? I have owned my 1967 Bug for over four years, and I know the previous owner fitted fibreglass wings with the sloping headlamps, but I cannot remember if it is supposed to have the long bonnet or not.

I've lost my manual (Damn and blast) can someone post the power switch settings. It's been a while since I used it last and I have forgoten them.

HI. Does anybody know of a supplier for those excellent "coloured" visors that fit on the outside top of the screen? Keep searching Google, but getting all sorts of rubbish back!! Thnx, Mark

Look, there's an image of the new Space Camper on this Ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8434748351

My 72 bus has been running with a leaky fuel pump for a while (over a year). I bought a replacement pump off Ebay and discovered that it also leaks at the same place, ie at the top. On inspection, they both have a slight curve on the flange of the top cover. Is this by design or is this a fault/weakness? since the flange is not sitting flat, I cannot see how the gaskets can keep up. It is...

Hi guys hope you can help, got the 1303 out of the garage after about 18 months bought as a project & then stored like so many. Whilst I was underneath it connecting the towrope I noticed this rust near the suspension mounting on the nearside. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j81/gsx550es/ethel/fc9b3c1e.jpg This one is a little further away so you can get a perspective on...

Hi guys I wonder if you can shed some light on my steering. I have a 1302 S all stock no mods as yet. I have been down to Cornwall this last week in my van and I have only left the bug standing for no more than a fortnight tops. It was all ok when I parked it up but took it out yesterday and there are at least one maybe two real stiff points in the steering. How can this just come on like...

Hi there, I found an interesting auctions site I am using as a start page for my searches. http://auctions.woohoow.net Try and see... It can only help you saving money after all ;-)

Hi all, Have started to take a look at my washer bottle in my '68 1500 Type 1 (UK). (type where you pump up the bottle direct) I seem to have mislaid (if I ever had it) the fill cap. I have all the other connections, but can't test the assembly without the fill cap (I presume).
