Did you take brake calipers off?  Could be as simple as caliper bolts not tight enough. Had this on a friends bus. He could'nt find the source of the knocking. I drove it and lightly applied pressure to brake pedal with left foot and knocking stopped. Similar thing happened on a friends Bay Window. ...

Mine is an August 1983 and does have the light. 
Maybe its  because its a Caravelle?

I blanked off the inlet from breather tower as I use my bus every day all year round. As for fuel economy! 😅😅 couldn't tell you. When it gets low I just put ...

Had my Weber on for over 10 years, never had an issue with it. Starts 1st time every day.

Fitted a set of plastic pipes on my bus over 12 years ago. The steel inserts were gone when I got the pipes. I filed a shamfer on the ends of the plastic pipes to ease fitting into the rubber hoses both ends. Fitted without dropping the fuel tank. Pig of a job as I recall. Never had an issue with th...

Build the end up with weld and then weld a nut on? Worked for me a few weeks ago. A Peugeot 308 with 2 extremely stubborn lock nuts. A friend bought the car without a locking wheel nut key. Tried all my removal sockets. Got the N/S one off with that but O/S wasn't budging. Welded an old wheel bolt ...
