I checked the push rod tubes there ok and the rocker gasket is new and doesn't appear to be leaking. Everything is ok at tick over j...

i have just ordered some of the bolt on type from jk. My probs started when i fitted a bugpack breather kit. i thought the oil breather tube running to the rocker cover was causing it to move, so took it off but still the same.n/s was ok. They have always a bit of dodgy fit, so time replace with som...

I've just fitted new gaskets for the rocker covers on my 2ltr Aircooled. The o/s is fine no probs. The n/s one moves about when i start the engine. Anyone know if i need to now replace the covers or could it be the spring that holds it into place.

Now my battery is flat. I think that i have used the wrong wire from the ignition control, i used the red cable goi...

I got most of my gear from vw van garage dealership near to me. they'll be your best bet. They use an on screen catalogue which shows a blown up diagram of the bus. You should visit your nearest van dealer, the one near me was pretty helpfull.

oops,
forgot to say if you ask him he will have the hole's put in the vaccuum bose's in each manifold and supply em for an extra twenty quidish, if you dont you'll have no brakes!!. Buy the dellorto superperformance tech book, and an anti pulse valve from www.dellorto.co.uk.

thanks all for your replies. Were trying to find something that will fit on the rock and roll bed with my wife next to the baby. Up top will be ok for me but my wife is vertically challenged and might struggle if the baby was up top. Will have to experiment.

thanks again
