Well done Rob,

Bezza my 1980 LHD T25 Westie would like an opening window for her sliding door. Where do I purchase a top quality one from.  I have seen  T25 Middle Sliding Window right LHD with Seal (Sliding door) to 85 OE, 303,30 €  which looks a decent job. FWIW I did purchase one from a certain 'Dyslexic' Briti...

So very helpful.
Thanks for posting this as it's on my 'to do' jobs list

My Bezza will need her Pop-top canvas replacing within a couple of years while a friend has a '73 Bay-Window Westy which needs the Pop-top canvas replacing ASAP. We both have new canvas kits ready to fit. However does anyone know of a recommended canvas installer around Yorkshire or Greater Manchest...

My Bezza is a 'Left-Hooker' and these mirrors work a treat in our RHD Blighty world.

Silly Title? Maybe but over the weekend I saw a friend with a stunning Looking dark blue 1990 Diesel Hi-top Westy. But on closer inspection there were rust issues that are sound on my own T3. From experience the later the T3 the rustier they get! Is it the water cooling? Is it the vibes from the die...

After my aborted trip to Holland I am tempted. No more sliding door runners to let me down 

I am considering purchasing a set for Bezza, my 1980 Westy. On my failed trip :( to Holland I fitted the 'Beam-Benders' onto Bezza's 7" H4 headlights.  However should I go about fitting a set of LED Headlights then how do I apply the 'Beam-Benders' to them? Would I still required to so as to be...

I certainly am Bus brother!

I maybe running a CV 2056cc with twin Dell's but we Air-heads have to stick together

Howdo,

My 1980 Westy has a Black Dashboard. I would much prefer the Brown example but good used ones are rather steep in price.
Has anyone painted their dashboard? Or even laminated perhaps?

TIA

When I got my 15" Wheels and Tyres I purchased one of these from Van Café ..

Thanks Lads,

Firstly my 'Tryping error' as indeed the size is 215/65/15 (Thanks cobblers for the heads up!)

Scouting about on that there website across the pond   39psi Front and 48psi in the rears is a popular suggestion.

Back in 2022 when I purchased Bezza I got a set of UNIROYAL 185 80 R14 102/100R RAINMAX 3 | Just Tyres . 
When I got the 15" Alloys I sold them on to a friend for her '73 Bay window Westy. Far better than the Chinese 'Ditch-finders' she had previously. 

My Fellow Vanagonaughts , I have fitted 'Bezza', my Westphalia Joker with a set of 15"  GoWesty OEM Replica Alloy Wheel Bundle [Bus/Vanagon]  along with a set of 315/65/15C Goodyear Cargo-Grip tyres  https://club8090.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/pimp.gif I was fishing for ideas about what fellow ...

Dunno if this will help, When emissions testing first became part of the annual MOT my trusty Amanda , (A 547 LTA where are you now?), also failed on the Hydrocarbons. The MOT tester allowed me to take Amanda along the M62 for a sympathetic 'thrashing'. When retesting the emissions the Hydrocarbons ...
