Im a novice and have recently purchased my first VW T25 in the form of a 1989 2.1 petrol Westfalia California. Have read a lot of useful information on this site (and a few others) and carried out my first tasks (successfully so far!) such as a coolant and gearbox oil change.
I have an annoying issue in the form of the gear stick that seems obviously to be for a RHD vehicle. I say it is for a RHD as it is angled towards the right. Is it possible this has been incorrectly fitted and can I change this or do I need to try and find a replacement (which seems very difficult).
Thanks
Incorrect gearstick on my Westy California?

Lever should bend to the left. Chances are some hamfisted git has been at it and bent it out of shape. Get a new one on.
