Hi, Anyone got any experience of those breathable van covers that you can get from Justcampers or VW Heritage? My mates on about getting one but has been told that they can cause damage and trap condensation even though they are breathable. Just wanted to know if anyone is using one at the moment an...

Anyway as i said its popped n farted at fast idle and overrun for a few years even after changing plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor and vacume/balance pipes so i don'...

Bus (2lt a/c) failed MOT on emissions today. CO is fine but Hydrocarbons are well over the limit pointing to poor combustion on at least one cylinder. This is backed up by a popping/missfire at fast idle which it has done for the last 2 years! Got away with this on MOT's in the past as i had a twin ...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where to get a louvre window seal from.
Its for an Autosleeper converted van.
The window looks to be smaller than a std side window so don/t think a normal seal will do.
Iv'e seen seals for Westy louvre windows but these look to be slightly larger.

Hi, Got a very "lazy" starter motor which only just turns engine over (its been like that since i got the van 15 months ago). The van is used as my main daily transport and has only failed to start once during this time but its always a bit nerve racking at start up time! So with winter ne...

Anyone got an suggestions? Stripped top end to sort leaking head, replaced crank seals,pushrod tube seals, head & base gaskets, removed carbon from heads & pistons, lapped in valves. Motor ran sweet for 1000 miles then started spewing oil out from (i think) the flywheel side crank oilseal to...

OK, so far so good. BUT i still have two other take offs that are vacume pipe in size. One is on the balance pipe that joins the two inlet manifolds together. This take off is situated in the middle of the balance pipe behind the air filter box. The other is on the body of the vacume unit on the diz...

Can anyone help with the correct location of all the vacume pipes on a 2ltr Aircooled.

Put the motor back in and have forgot which one goes where!

I am about to drop the 2ltr Aircooled motor out next weekend to sort out clutch judder, engine oil leak and leaking cylinder head (hissing noise). How high must the back of the van be jacked up for the motor to clear and has anyone got any advise on what other stuff is worth changing whilst the engi...
