Replaced clutch master, wasn’t that - no resistant on pedal still. Saw fluid coming out of clutch slave, so the piston seal in it had failed. It was a new ‘classic line’ item which lasted 18 months! Fitted new slave, fixed.

Clock stopped, van fuse 15A. I think I short circuited the clock which shares its feed with cigarette lighter when I removed the stereo and inserted a stereo blank, 251857233. Anyway, clock ok now.

Speedo is 20mph fast. I can’t get my head around whether the speedo spring is too tight or too loose; any experience of this out there?



Logic suggests tighten the spring to add resistance.

Sorting the MOT advisories in the D-Pillars. I think some rusted cracks are near the engine mounting bar fixings, hence the advisories.

Should outlive me now, cough.







Nothing fancy, just bashing out the bad corner and some welding where required.





Before & After. All worked from the inside because I wanted to keep the rust!






I'll primer and paint over the black underseal in the summer, when it's a bit warmer (paint code LH5G)

Less than 800 miles this year, which is a shame. Porsche 911 is a big draw. Still a flat boxer engine, right? I do love the 2.1 though & I recommend any 1.9 owner to do the easy upgrade on Pierburg.

Loving this thread. Need to get on with my own van and not reading about others doing it

I’ve been asked to represent the year ‘1990’ at VW Stonor Park, Henley for their 40th Anniversary on Sunday 2nd June, 2024.

Nice one Mart

Is (was) that 20mph fast at all speeds? If so just refit the needle to read 20 lower. (If you didn't already do this months/years ago.)
