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 ...

Food for though   

FWIW I still have Bezza's 1980 box . All new shift bushes and links plus a CSP short shift kit make a BIG difference

Fellow Vanagonisti, T25iasts,

Where can I find some sound deadening material for my engine lid as one of the pieces is missing.

TIA.

Bueno Estente, I have seen such as  7 inch LED headlights LAMP fit Land Rover Defender VW T25 T3 Vanagon sealed beam | eBay UK  on Fleabay and wondered if my fellow Vanagonisti have fitted such Headlights to their trusty Brick. I am currently using LED Bulbs in the stock H4 Headlights but proper LED...

Oh b*gger! I mean't to say the drop arm for the anti-roll bar that bolts to the strut bar that bolts to the lower control arm. Early arms are slightly curved whereas later arms are straight. I read somewhere on the Vanagon forum @ samba.com that is possible but not without a struggle. As my Gran use...

How do,
Having got Bezza, my 1980 Westy up on ramps to cure the noisy/sloppy gear change with new bushings a thought crossed my mind while I was on a Bush changing fetish
Can I change the drop arm bushes while my T25 is up on ramps at the front? Can it be done without removing the wheels?

TIA
