If its not turning over at all - check the spade connector going to the solenoid it may have come off or loose. Check it with a voltmeter. Also worth doing the main earth from the gearbox to the body. Also - have a read through the tech section - there are loads of 'starting problem' type threads be...

I've followed your "adventure" with interest as I am having the same lazy-lagging starts. I have replaced the battery, only to be told that it is not large enough and that replacing it with a higher spec will resolve the problem. If not I will be following your cures in checking all the e...

where did you buy the seal from??

What works for me, is when you know the gas is coming through keep pressing the ignition button i...

VW prescilla - its a 1984. Converted by aztec campers in swansea. Had the seats re-upholstered last year & new curtains and new flooring put down. Its a great layout, bit basic but it does the job.
