Has anyone on here fitted a solar panel on a westy pop top?
If so I’m interested in how you went about it?

The current option I’m considering is the brackets to put roof bars on the pop top then bolting a panel to that.

Does anyone have an arb awning mounted with camper van culture gutter mount brackets? I’ve just fitted some to my westy to hold a arb shower tent and everything doesn’t sit right I’m wondering if I’ve made a simple mistake somewhere https://i.imgur.com/h8IEMnK.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/iN2gxkM.jpeg h...

I’ve a 1.9 TDi Passat engine in my van
Despite fitting a new belt and making sure it’s tensioned correctly
It slips the belt and squeals at full lock even when moving and turning.
Does anyone have any pointers please
Is there a bigger pump available if this one’s struggling?

Are these the original rear lights for a 1990 westfalia Atlantic?
They have a black plastic section between the lamp and number plate that other t 25s don’t have.

All sorted the socket itself had been wired up completely wrong.

With the left hand indicator on I’m getting a voltage on the black wire with a white line in the vehicle loom That’s connected to the yellow wire on the tow bar loom So that seems correct Yet when testing voltages on the tow bar plug there’s no voltage on pin one which should be left hand indicator ...

I’ve had a look today and found a pile of bullet connectors behind the lhs rear light housing. I doubt that’s how it was originally done but it’s what I’ve got to work with now. I’ve pulled apart each connector and cleaned it up of corrosion The trailer still isn’t playing ball The indicators on the...

Would the tow bar socket on a German import westfalia be wired the same as a uk trailer plug?

I connected my trailer up today and the lights are not functioning properly
I tested the trailer on my daily drive and all the lights work fine
So obviously the problem lies with the van.

My Atlantic has electric mirrors but the control knob does nothing.
What fuse and or relay should I be checking first?

It wont be getting any wider right at the rim it will be towards the top of the tyre, cant make the rim any wider by just changing the tyre it will always be mounted to the inside To get a visual of what im talking about go on a website called Will they fit. Input your wheel sizes currently and the...

Putting a 5mm thick piece of wood on the edge of the rim leaves about 2-3 mm clearance
I think a 215 would most likely catch

What’s the difference in width between 205 and 215 is it ten mm?

The only thing I can think it to move to a 215/50 and you'll find a 95 rated and that should also be the same diameter as the 245/45, I'd imagine you have a 8.5J on the back and 7J on the front with them tyre sizes  Will changing to a 215 on the front cause it to catch anywhere? There’s not much cl...

So I’m searching for tyres to fit these alloys at a reasonable price I’ve come across some for the front with 93 load rating but the ply is classed as extra load For the rear I can get them in 99 load rating with the ply being classed as extra load I take it those should be ok? The tyres that are o...
