I looked at the bongos a lot, also visited a lot of fan pages. Most complaints about the diesel were that the glow plugs were 15 plus years old and that it and it's 2.5 v6 petrol brother were heavy drinkers. The 2 litre petrol appealed to me the most but the main gripe about that was for towing...I ...

Thanks for all the info, I'm going to be buying some of the sound proofing matting/foam to put inside the door panels to start with and will give it a test ride and then add to it as I go along...im not particularly savvie when it comes to car/van things

Hi,
I've been doing a few runs in the van and found that at 50 miles an hour it gets a bit loud, at 55 I can't hear passengers in the back and at 60 ish it's pointless trying to listen to anything including the radio...is there a way to muffle the noise apart from driving slower?

Thanks guys and girls,

I have been running my camper a lot more now and am eagerly awaitng my ebay purchases, to see if they will assist, Im also looking at buying one of the just kampers covers, not sure how good or effective it will be.

Thanks Fairwind, I do run the camper for about an hour a day, with heating and camp stove at full blast. I will also add some cat litter, mainly as I don't drink lemonade and may be caught short in yamyam land, I have no idea where that mystical place is but with my sense of direction I will most li...

Thank you all,

I will start with the ebay options and hope they will do the job.

Cheers

Chris I pmed you...will it fit my camper?

Hi and thanks for keeping the information flowing, covkid who are gsf?
Ian and Lins, thank you, will now need to read up on earth straps and brush packs, I am hoping that it is that rather than a new starter.

Thank you chaps for the information, hopefully I can make a better informed purchase.

Hi guys, I need to buy a starter motor as mine is taking a while before engine finally kicks over, I have a few questions here ( I did read a few old posts but have probably missed a few bits, my vehicle is an 86 caravelle auto sleeper 1.9 water cooled engine not sure if this is relevant but added j...

Thank you Marlin owner, am about to investigate and hopefully solve.

Ok So I've checked the wiki page and looked on youtube, and read back a few articles, is there a specific brake fluid to use or am I being a complete noob?

I went for a drive to box hill and back and on my return the handbrake light kept glowing at me at random times....what does this mean? I did check to see that hand brake was at lowest point on my drive home.
( I really am new to mechanical problems....seems I will learn through the power of my vw).
