Does anyone know of a fridge mechanic please? Preferably in SW London /Surrey, although I would be prepared to travel a bit.. I have an Electrolux RM185R in my 1990 Reimo conversion. It works well but recently ceased to ignite on gas. A nuisance when operating without hook up. New replacements are a...

Thanks everyone for your informative replies. I shall act accordingly. A quick anecdote;-- Last July a front wheel bearing expired in a spectacular way just outside of Versailles. It happened to coincide with the start of the French national holiday. As we limped on to to a garage forecourt they wer...

Thanks. Good advice.The link accesses a great calculator but doesn't that require taking the belt off?

Good morning. Could anyone please tell me the correct size for a 1990 1600 TD. They quote several on the JK site and I found the GSF one difficult to negotiate. I want to take a spare to France with me this year, as past experience tells me, the French are poor on supplies for old VW's. By the way, ...

I have a 1990 Reimo with Westfalia type roof. Plagued with a noise driving all the way to Cornwall and half way back. Driving myself and partner 'round the bend'. It started at 50mph and just got worse. It seemed to come from the front at knee level. I spent ages underneath tie-ing up the speedo cab...

Thanks Grand tourer but I've gone ahead already but your offer is most appreciated. What a friendly and helpful site this is? Deke.

Thanks everyone for all your very helpful comments.Im in exactly the same frame of mind as Rachel Daisy re height, convenience, and gutter trim.It's just that I did not fancy 18 kgs held by 2 brackets on the gutter. I like the sound of the caravanstore but did not fancy drilling and with the pop top...

Just about to order the caravanstore but then I noticed the Fiamma F35 which is a similar weight to the caravan store but packs into a cassette like the F45. However it may not have rafters and may need tensioning ropes. Any comments? Deke.

Does it work to use the figure of 8 awning chanel clipped to the gutter as supplied by JK anyone? Thanks, Deke.

The idea was to have instant shade and similar pack up time. I thought the caravanstore might take longer and how does it travel?. We have no room inside. As ex tenters we have tended to shy away from anything that takes time particularly as we do a lot of one nighters.Thanks for all your comments-k...

I'm thinking of a sun awning. Narrowed it down to an Omnistor or a Fiamma. Any comments? I have a front raising roof. Many thanks, Deke.

I spoke to a replacement engine place that advertises in VW Camper and Bus and he said that it was not viable to replace a diesel with a petrol engine. This suprised me somewhat??
