Re: Anyone know much about JT3000 Caravelle's?

Looks a nice one and I bet the 3 litre engine gives a good acceleration (once the roo bars and toughened glass are removed! :lol: )

Re: Van insulation - did we actually decided which was best?

The problem I find during the winter is that the front cab area of the van undermines any insulation in the back. The areas around the door steps, battery boxes, etc are difficult to insulate and the temperature in these areas just plummets in winter. So perhaps a well insulated body bag (I mean sl...

Got a brand new steering column cover ...

Yes - VW still sell these for around £8 ... this is the plastic cover that goes over the top of the steering column just below the instrument binacle and fits around the ignition barrel. Here is the NEW one with the extra hole ... http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n74/vwlewis/new_steering_column_sh...
