thanks for the replies, its a tough call, me and the wife stayed in a great campsite in the Cairngorns a few winters ago, was -15 outside, but we were ok in the van,, I expect a pop top could have been a bit more chilly with the roof up, Swings and round abouts type thing, is it hard to remove a hig...

Here we go again. I love having pop tops. I had a T2 one before this one. It's personal choice. Hi tops have more storage space, but when the pop top is up it is much higher like sleeping in a tent and doesn't have the claustrophobic feel that high tops have, so I've been told.

Hi, I changed the clutch on my '88 1.9dg (using the wiki and haynes for reference) as it was slipping , and I have a wedding in wales to go to on Saturday. I must have knocked or buggered up something because now it wont go into 2nd or 4th. when looking at the bit on the side of the gearbox that sel...

HI I have a 70odd ltr tank under my rr bed. Gassure Steve though we may have to move the bed a bit, but in the end it all fitted in without any mods to the bed. It may depend on if the bed goes 'flat' onto the engine bay or if there is a storage bit over the engine bay which raises the bed a bit che...
