Re: For people who like putting furniture in their vans
I spotted this last night while searching for a multivan r'n'r bed. Looks nice, but a shame it would cost near enough £400 in fuel + ferry to collect it.

Re: 2wd as good as a syncro!

I've just pulled up the floor mating, and found that it's only attached to the floor panel by 1 self tapping screw which will not tighten up, yet ...

Re: Alloy wheels & Wheel nuts.

Alloy wheels & Wheel nuts.
Hi, Just bought my first VW yesterday (14" '89 1.6TD Syncro), and had the not so pleasurabe experiance of a wheel coming off on the M25!!! It was fitted with Audi alloy wheels and big mud tyre (not sure what size). The previous owner had been using these wheels with no issues for a good while, ...
