Top man, I will try B&Q!

Thats the stuff! Anyone out there know?

Sorry, I mean the covering for the cab roof and all the other wooden panels in my westy?

Does anyone out there know where I can lay my hands on some sticky top stuff that goes on the headlining around the cab roof and the rest of the interior?

Does anyone out there know of a place that will do the original decals for the rear pop top?

Well I have to drive her back from Dorset to Cambridge at the weekend! The belt used to slip and squel (light came on and went off when reved) but was tightened. the light is VERY weak and flickres, you have to shield the light aperture to see it Cause for concern, it is over 200 miles?

I drove my westy (1.6 non turbo) 200 miles on mon and noticed the batt light was flickering but very faintly, should I worry?

Hey guys, what about these? http://www.roofrackshop.com/Car-Products/Thule-Foot-Packs/Thule-Foot-Packs-For-Rain-Gutters/Thule-542-Artificial-Rain-Gutter--Set-of-4-/000827p.aspx I brought some about 6 months ago but am not sure that the pop top will take the weight of a kayak (2man) without the westy...
