It seemed to hold the carb internals in place on mine i think, namely the bowl. Could be wrong though!

Ok thanks for the advice. I'll take a closer look at some point and decide what to do about it. It looks superficial, but then, what do I know.

Head's off and it wasn't pretty at all. New head time. Dropped a seat alright and chewed up the surrounding metal a treat. Damaged the piston face slightly, tho it should be ok. What depth is the metal on the face of a piston?

For the non-pyschics, she's an '82 2l AC.

Yeah, that sounds feasible. What's involved? New valves? Obviously valve seat, headgasket, pushrod seals. What else? I'm figuring seized exhaust studs, tho one is out already without too much agro.

looked around for the 80/90 campers but could only find the Brickworks. Next time, we're defo there. :D ) We were on the map :D Yeah, we found the map in the booklet just as we were walking out of the showground. :oops: :lol: I'm aware early are different to late. I want to know whether lhd/rhd are...

Are these the same lhd/rhd? Breakers at Vanfest said they were, but I didn't trust them for some reason. I can only see LHD ones on JK. I presume it's the position of the bit that the barrel actuates that's in different positions? (We couldn't commit to camping as we knew we would be moving house ar...

Ebay or VW. Some key cutters have them, tho I don't think they're supposed to.

it looks like only the right hand wheel self tightens :) Most of the _guesses_ are so far off the wall that you couldn't play handball with them, but this particular explanation is very close but still not quite complete. In fact the cause of self tightening has nothing to do with the construction ...

How does tha work then?

I asked Germman a while ago but heard nowt back. Has he got owt?
