Now I am still new to all this, with my new tin top camper, but fo years I have attended many VW shows with my Scirocco and some camper van friends. Question 1 = Why do all camper vans with standard exhausts sound like the exhaust is blowing, and they are only running on 3 cylinders :twisted: Questi...

God forbid that I will ever need one, but out of curiosity, how much is a re-conned Vege/VW 1.9 pumper motor ?

Hey "The Gamwell-Smythes" you in Chester too ?

I got my insurance sorted today ( Monday ) so will be bringing the van to Chester tomorrow evening all being well. Will speak to you very soon :)

I will call you tomorrow to book it in Steve

Well it looks like I would be mad not to get my newly aquired 1.9 pumper gassed, so will be calling Steve on Monday. I will also be insuring it on Monday, I understand that I need to tell them the van will be using gas ? But at this time I won't have any paperwork from Steve ( as it won't be done fo...

Hey BoJo - if it wasn't making any horrid loud knocking sounds and there is no sign of it dumping loads of oil everywhere, the chances are it will be summat real silly as has been mentioned. :) Take care with garages as they will mostly try to rip you off, sad but true.
