Many thanks to Diamond Hell for inviting me over & having a look at my syncro - you are most helpful and generous. It's a small world - turns out he was the guy who, on my behalf many years ago, checked out my van before I bought it - & this was the very first time I've met him - so thanks a...

Hi Rich,

I'm meeting up with Diamond Hell - a syncro driver next thursday - can't wait to meet him!

Please pm me regards the sale - although I may delay it for a couple of months.

Thanks Aidan!

Many thanks everyone! I will shortly post some piccies etc. The main problem I am having is that i am not mechanically minded, and have no working knowledge of the use of my syncro nor the mechanics. It was pure luck that my campervan was a syncro!! It has always been used as a campervan, not for of...

Hi folks, I have a 1986 LHD Syncro Westfalia poptop. How do i decide a fair price? I have absolutely no idea but need to sell soon. I really would appreciate helpful ideas please. I am based on the Isle of Wight & ideally would like to speak to another syncro owner - that knows about the mechani...

Hi folks,
Are there any Syncro owners on the Isle of Wight? (OR on the South Coast - Portsmouth etc.)
As a novice I could do with chatting to someone who knows and drives one!
Thanks, Simon

Hi folks, The transformer (beneath the seat) - am i right in saying that it charges the leisure battery when the vehicle is connected to 240V Mains electricity? I've taken the casing off, and there is an obvious place where a fuse should be (to the right of the transformer coil) What rating should i...

Hello all, I am strongly considering replacing my knackered pop-top with a HIGHTOP. [ I need a more permanent sleeping space for the 2 kids, and perhaps a little more storage space ]. 1. Where can i source a (new) Hightop (& get fitted)? [I know of Timbertechnicians) - any other recommendations ...

Hello, I want to know if anyone out there with a T25 drives with a trailer? How do you find ease of driving with one? At the moment everytime we need to sleep overnight we have to unpack the van, pop the roof up then repack the stuff as best we can. The idea of a trailer carrying most of the stuff s...

Yep - i'm in Portugal.

I need LHD near-side round Headlight to pass the inspection!
