Yep !!!! I agree !!!! MV ENGINEERING. Mario and his team are fantastic. I will never take my van anywhere else. They have a Facebook page if u want to check them out !!

That's brilliant. Thanks. I will be sure to give him
A ring. I know the engine is not the origional engine,
And now in in no rush to get her repaired if that makes
It a bit cheaper

Hi all, Thanks for your replies so far. A local mechanic has kindly been to my house and looked at the old girl. His advice was that she sounds very sick indeed with no compression and some other mechanical jargon and instead of potentially spending over £1000 to strip it to find out that she's done...

Hi all, My mechanical knowledge is zero. My '84 westy hightop has overheated badly, lost power and cut out. Smoke or steam everywhere with an awful smell . It turns out there was an split in a hose and no water was getting to the engine......and possibly oil (due to an oil leak). Now she will not st...

I still duck when going under ridiculously high overhead obstructions, that I have no chance of hitting. Even after driving my high top for 2 years. It's just become part of the fun..... And a timely reminder of how special she is !!!!
Cheers jase

Hi, there. I'm in the same situation. Did you get it fixed????

Thanks
Jase

Thanks very much....... I've just ordered a sample of Leland cream......... Fingers crossed )

Happy new year all :)) does anyone know where I could obtain some origional or replica headlining, either new or old, in a roll or on panels for my high top 1985 westfalia joker in a beige colour?????? I had to remove and replace the panel around the skylight, and the existing headlining is ruined.....

Hi, that's great thanks, did you spay them silver also,
Or were they all black

Thanks
Jase

Thanks for the info.... I wasn't sure what the quality
Would be like if i replaced them
Cheers

Hi, has anyone had experience in getting their hubs
Re chromed. I want to sort the chrome rims and hubs
On my 86 westy. I assume they are the origional ones.
Is it cheaper to buy new?? What us a good price for getting them
Re chromed? When done does it last ?

All advice welcome

Thanks
Jase

Howdy peeps.....and happy new year (better late Than never) as this is my first post of the year. Does anyone know how to restore the black and silver External badges ( one says club joker, and the other says Volksvargen), black and silver front grill and black plastic and black Metal bumpers. I wou...

Hi mate, I am waiting for a price to get mind re- chromed
(If that's what you call it) I will keep you posted,
Like you said, better than fitting the cheap crap !!!
Cheers jase

Thanks HM, I have seen all sorts of westy 80s fabrics,
Just not the one I want ........ She needs a face lift inside
But I can't imagine putting a different cloth in
Her.Its one of the reasons I chose her in
The first place

Thanks
Jase

Hi all. Does anyone know if you can buy a small
Roof rack similar to the retro racks you see
On the front tops of T2s that will fit on the front top
Of my 86 westy high top. That means it would
Sit over the low part of the roof
At the top?
Thanks
Jase
