many thanks mocki

i do Rob, hence the discussion on wether i am being a fool considering one instead of a t25 (as per my thread) but you seem to have removed my post so pointless anyway!

haha, I've had enough of all those unelected rusty seams telling me what to do!

Evening, I need a little help and/or bringing back to earth, before make the wrong choice. I have sold my current T4 with the plan to westy up. Originally i was looking for a T25 cali hightop but have swung round to the T4 California club, as i really like the layout but I have since started getting...

If it has the origional engine, I havnt seen many do more than 17000 miles on a 2.1 so a new engine or an updated upgrade would be a sensable choice if your consiering using it for offroading shinanigans. Thats pretty much what i was thinking, the engine does look surprisingly clean but if it is th...

Thought about that, but then i would need more money than i have and as its the 2.1inj first bit of cash i could get together would be for gassing it.
Im assuming £5-600 to diff lock it (but i could be way out there)

ideal!
cheers, i'll send him a message, the engine looks too clean to be origional but current owner isnt sure about the history! but yep no diff locks, not sure its for me, although surprisingly, i can afford this one! maybe this is the compromise im goin to have to make

Evenin, been looking at a 14" lhd syncro caravelle, very nice!! however no diff locks at all, i didnt know they had made any without. Are there any other differences with this model, is it set up more like t4 syncros or will it still be a capable off roader? Its got that whole executive thing g...

Whatever you do, think twice about following the coastal lane from bude to cracky. Half way along you will come to a brilliant place called millook, only problem is you may not get out in one piece, the road is so steep and has been the scene of may a burnt out clutch and even at least one blown eng...

Cheers bland, Off to drive it tonight, so will see, thanks for the tips on what to look for. Engine wiring was all replaced recently, but i have a good Aircooled speacialists near me so thinking of taking the gamble and seeing what they make of it. Good news that gasure recon the carbs, was struggli...

yep, im talking myself into it by lying to meself about running costs, there was a reason i was looking for a diesel!! It is a sweet straight van though, very good bodywork, seams ground out and treated, new cills, new bottom to sliding door and resprayed, very tidy interior £2.5k!! seams like good ...

Thinking about buying a 1980 2.0 Aircooled (not what i was after but the right price), only problem being, the owner says after driving 50 miles or so and stopping it wont start until its cooled down. Is this the sign of something scary or just par for the cause with aircooleds? Also (on my mpg high...

Nice one gents, Im still umming n arring about my budget (all depends on what i can sell to boost it a bit) missus is not on for me spending the mortgage on it, dont know why, dont need a bathroom in the house got a lovely compost bog we've been using the last couple of years while we are building, ...

the one on ebay... you mean the 2wd conversion? looks and sounds like a money pit. Think you may have given me a wake up call, if i could scrape £5k together that would be it for a looong time, if im gonna have to keep spending on top of that to keep it going, im out :cry: anyone want to buy a house?

after deciding to get back in a t25 (and getting burnt on a couple of near buys), and now struggling to find anything i fancy, I am rekindling the overwhelming desire to own a syncro camper. Always wanted one, never had one. So seriously whats the least im going to get a reasonably reliable (read: n...
